For more than 20 years, the Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) has worked ceaselessly to protect the last free-ranging rhino population on Earth: the rare desert-adapted black rhino. In the remote, rugged Palmwag Concession, teams of local trackers use camel trains to help in researching and monitoring this animal. On this original and exciting Exploration, guests join these "ships of the desert" on a great adventure: an eight-day walk (little time is spent actually on the camels) across the oldest desert in the world, where a camel train and a team of Save the Rhino trackers take us deep into the heart of the Namib Desert in search of this rare and endangered species.
Another wonderful sight is that of the unique desert-adapted elephant - both these iconic animals being searched for in some of the most remote and inaccessible regions of the Concession. The revenues generated from this venture are channelled back into critically important rhino conservation projects.
