Steppes Travel —
For 25 years, Steppes Travel has offered expert-led African Safaris and Africa conservation tours, all focusing on the need to preserve. Joining forces with conservation agencies, researchers and local conservation projects, they not only support conservation and local communities but deliver exceptional wildlife tours.
On their Namibia: Cheetah Kingdom tour, Steppes works exclusively with AfriCat, offering a unique conservation tour, with hands-on participation at its core. Guests work with AfriCat’s vets on the Annual Big Cat Health Examination weekend that takes place at Okonjima. This expert led tour gives a fascinating insight into Namibian big cat conservation.
On Steppes’ Namibia – Giraffe Collaring trip, guests spend several days tracking, darting and collaring the country’s rarely sighted desert-adapted giraffes. As well as gaining this phenomenal hands-on knowledge of giraffe conservation, guests benefit from the experience of renowned expert Dr Julian Fennessy.
On their Elephant Insight & Lake Turkana tour in Kenya, guests meet with researchers from Save The Elephants who will introduce the group to the resident elephant herd and explain the complex and fascinating dynamics that takes place between these animals. For anybody wanting to learn more about elephant behavior and conservation, this is a remarkable opportunity. It is not only elephants that call this rugged region home, as Samburu is renowned for lion and leopard and endemic species like gerenuk and reticulated giraffe. The trip includes a full day’s helicopter safari into Kenya’s Northern Frontier
Their Africa team includes some of the most experienced Africa experts in the travel industry. They offer a large number of safaris, including wildlife viewing by plane and helicopter. Classic bush camps in Zambia allow for walking safaris, while South African safaris offer world class big game viewing and malaria-free reserves. Other safaris offer the chance to glide past pods of hippos in the waters of the Okavango Delta, or cruise the wide open savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania for big game viewing and the annual wildebeest migration. In Namibia, observe the landscape’s unique desert-adapted wildlife, or go in search of mountain gorillas and chimpanzees in the lush forested slopes of Rwanda and Uganda.
In addition to group tours, Steppes offers a variety of private and independent and custom holidays.
