Tracking desert elephants

Desert elephants heading into wetlands, Damara region
Volunteering project with EHRA (Elephant Human Relations Aid) in Namibia - we started by painting a dormitory and roads signs for a Damara boarding school, meeting teachers and local children.

Then we went trekking after desert elephants and camping in the bush for a few days.


Road sign - English version


EHRA work with the local Damara community, educating people about the benefits of providing rights of access across the land for herds of elephants (who respect no man-made boundaries).  Volunteering projects offer something back to the villages and farms where elephants have broken fences and knocked down wells.
