TV PROGRAMMES:

 

January 2015: Groen

 

December 2014 saw Dr. Rudie and Marlice van Vuuren of the N/a’an ku sê Foundation travelling throughout Namibia filming a 13-part television series for Kyknet’s “Groen”. Filming will be completed in March, with the series then airing from April until July.

 

This popular series will focus on the various conservation efforts undertaken in Namibia, and will be presented by Namibia’s well known conservationists, Dr. Rudie and Marlice van Vuuren, themselves. Filming takes place in both Afrikaans and English, and the English version will be made available to our very own NBC.

 

Not only will Namibian conservation efforts be brought to life on the screen, but the series will also emphasize the wonderful work accomplished by fascinating individuals – passionate individuals who have dedicated themselves to various unique conservation projects.

 

A truly Namibian production, the 13-part series will be filmed in its entirety in Namibia, and the start of filming in December saw Dr. Nad Brain of Wilderness Air piloting the film crew to the intriguing  conservation locations scattered throughout Namibia. The mysterious wild horses of the Namib at Klein Aus Vista and the sheer magnitude of the Fish River Canyon with Mannfred Goldbeck, Gondwana Collection’s Managing Director, divulging how this pristine reserve is being used to enhance conservation efforts, are just some of the Namibian conservation gems that will shine in the series. The San Bushmen and their ancient, natural conservation skills, will also be brought to life for viewers, with desert elephants, vultures and a host of other riveting wildlife content re-emphasizing Namibia’s standing in global conservation.

 

This will certainly prove to be a great marketing opportunity for Namibia and its unique people, with light being shed on the efforts of our country’s keen conservationists.

 

Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) are the main sponsor and made the series possible, with Gondwana Collection, Wilderness Air and Wilderness Safaris also providing vital support and assistance.

Tips for Visitors and Volunteers to the Foundation:

Watch this space for tips on your travels to N/a'an ku sê!

 

Weather:

It's hot out here! Make sure you bring sunblock, water bottles and a hat/sunglasses. The temperature dips at night so make sure to bring layers for the evenings, nights and mornings. Temperatures are ranging between 40F - 90F (4C - 32C).

 

Protection:

Make sure to bring sunblock! We want you to stay safe from the strong sun rays here. Even if you want a tan, make sure to bring enough sun block with an SPF of 30.

 

Consider bringing bug spray as well! Better comfortable than bitten, eh? Please note that you do not require antimalarial tablets at any of our volunteering sites. 

 

 

Money:

Please bring South African Rand in cash as it's not always easy to convert money at the airport. We recommend a minimum of 1,000 ZAR per week while you are visiting us. (Namibia accepts ZAR. ZAR is easier to convert than Namibian Dollars.)

 

Connectivity:

We do not offer WiFi for volunteers at the volunteer area. If you'd like to have access to the internet, please consider booking a night at the Lodge (where there is free WiFi) or add yourself to the Sunday town trip that occurs if there are 10 volunteers ready to go.
