Tour Operator specialized in Namibia Botswana Southern Africa<\/h2>\n<\/div>\nOur approach to tourism in southern Africa:<\/h3>\n
Created by a group of guides in 1999, Tourmaline Safaris is run by a team of experienced individuals who have excellent knowledge in the field of safaris.<\/p>\n When Tourmaline Safaris was created, it was born from an obsession with landscapes, light, animal behaviour, and more importantly, the practice of tourism in harmony with the environment and local communities.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row is_container=”yes”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Since then, our small company has grown, and with it, a responsibility: to align our own operations with our concern for the protection of the environment and the way in which our business impacts local communities.<\/p>\n Ecotourism, fair tourism, responsible tourism… very popular expressions. But how can we be sure that we respect the freedom of others in the country?<\/p>\n How can we ensure that we aid in the development of local communities while we remain eco-friendly?<\/p>\n Can we work with communities and ensure guest activities that allow, amongst other things, for the employment of local staff?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row is_container=”yes”][vc_column][vc_column_text]The debate continues among the members of our team:<\/p>\n As a local operator, we\u2019re the intermediaries between you as a traveler and the many service providers in the country. We’re there, and have a duty, to provide information to you and often to prevent possible transgressions.<\/p>\n In order to promote the standard of tourism in Namibia and to support environmentally friendly and community-based tourism, Tourmaline Safaris is a member of two Namibian associations, TASA and TOSCO.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row is_container=”yes”][vc_column][vc_column_text]![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.tourmalinesafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ntblogo-4.gif\")
