Description

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, a Technicolor dreamscape of swirling apricot dunes, and a population celebrated for its friendliness and diversity, Namibia is a true African gem. Working in a rural village facing many challenges, we volunteer alongside residents on important projects that add value and quality to the community. We explore Etsoha National Park on safari, visit the Himba and climb the ochre dune landscape on the journey of a lifetime. Contact us to learn about our summer service learning and adventure program in Africa where you'll have the opportunity to make a real and lasting impact in a community that welcomes us and from whom we have so much to learn.
