the land

2,500 hectares at the edge of khaudum.

Our land sits directly on the southern boundary of Khaudum National Park in the Kavango East region of northern Namibia. No fence separates our property from the park — wildlife moves freely across the boundary as it always has.

The landscape is Kalahari sandveld: flat, ancient, covered in silver terminalia and Zambezi teak. The Omuramba — dry riverbeds that fill seasonally — cross our land and connect water sources used by elephants on multi-day migrations.

Education & Awareness

Education weeks bring young people into direct contact with conservation. Knowledge is the longest-lasting protection.


the wells programme

water is the foundation of everything.

In Khaudum, the dry season lasts eight months. Wildlife concentrates around water points — whoever controls water, controls the land. Our well programme is our single highest-impact activity.
