Why Us
Local knowledge
As we are based in-country and we have the luxury of being able to travel around on a regular basis. Our trade partners also have access to our comprehensive AGENT LOG-IN page.
Independent & owner run
giving us a family-run business feel while maintaining the level of professionalism you would want from any serious business partner.
Available
we are easily accessible through email, skype, toll free numbers and our 24-hour emergency number.
Personal
relatively low volumes ensure one point of contact from your initial enquiry to your 'in-country guest feedback' message, and this also ensures that our safari planning tribe is focused on their personal relationships with international partners. Our success is based on knowing you and getting to know your guests so we can deliver genuine personal attention.
Sustainable
we are conservation orientated and socially responsible, whilst conducting our business in an environmentally conscious and sustainable manner (see Enriching Lives).
Cutting edge
we ensure we remain at the forefront of new safari possibilities, keeping track of new developments and being amongst the first to encourage local inventiveness and innovation.
Access
our policy of working with local communities to our mutual benefit means we often have access to areas and experiences not known or available to others.
Inside track
our placement as innovators and market leaders in terms of the product offered means that we can often open doors that others don’t even know exist.
Award winning
together with our partners we have achieved new heights in terms of running award winning itineraries.
Comprehensive
the supply of accurate, timely and up-to-date information to our trade partners is of the utmost importance so we check and update the in-country information imparted to trade partners on a regular basis.
Reliable
we have a quick response time so our turnaround time offers trade partners the opportunity to respond quickly themselves with all the information required and detailed itineraries to send on.
Flexible
we place great importance on identifying the specific interests and expectations of our guests so that we can make the arrangements that suit them rather than those that suit us.
Fully licensed and affiliated
we are registered with the Namibian Tourism Board (NTB), TASA (Namibia), ATTA (UK), ATTA (USA), TOSCO (Namibia) and APTA (USA).
We are Proudly Namibian
a truly Namibian tribe but with a discernibly international flair.
Original ideas
each safari is imaginatively hand-crafted creating unique itineraries which are geared towards the specific interests of the groups or individuals wanting to book.
Non-exclusive
working with us in our own areas of expertise does not mean you can’t work with others as well in theirs.
Expertise & Experience
with over 100 years of combined safari specialist experience and expertise in the Namibian safari industry, we boast the world’s foremost safari planning tribe for Namibia and we maintain only the highest standards.
Insurance
our guests are covered by the best possible insurance available locally, as well as cover from Lloyd’s of London where necessary.
Great rates
steady volumes, well-established business relationships, and a great reputation within the industry ensure that we are able to obtain top rates and guarantee value for money.
Little black book of private contact
being Namibian, well-known, respected, highly regarded, connected and based in-country, we have a wide network of contacts we can call on when needed.
Attention to detail
we place great importance on the less obvious elements needed to provide life enriching journeys.
Best Naturalist Guides
we employ one of the best full time guiding teams on the continent.
State-of-the-art Safari Vehicles
we have spent years working on building the perfect vehicles for Namibian conditions and this has resulted in owning the most safari appropriate vehicle fleet in Namibia.
Objective
We are not affiliated to any particular group or company so we can make unbiased recommendations. We have learned that not being directly involved with any lodges or camps means we’re free to choose the most appropriate from among the very best and very latest options for your guests each and every time.
We Protect the interest of our partners
we work through a well-developed global network of destination specialists and direct ‘local’ business their way.
Enriching Lives
Ultimate Safaris is privileged to be able to operate in pristine wilderness areas. We believe that the future of the environment and the natural inhabitants of these regions lies in the hands of the communities living there, and that this means they must be involved in the custodianship of their surroundings. The Conservation Travel Foundation is Ultimate Safaris’ registered non-profit organisation and it fully supports these ideals.
