The Matriarch Adventure definitely provided the adventure promised. We saw elephants, springbok, steenbok and baboons. We were transported across a huge variety of landscapes and provided with instruction on how to track the animals. The team were hugely knowledgeable and experienced.

The matriarch trip was a truly amazing adventure. I feel so privileged to have been able to explore such incredible landscapes and to witness the gentle desert elephants in their natural environment. The whole trip was so well organised by Catherine from the packing lists and whatsapp group connections prior to our trip, dealing with alternative travel arrangements for me when my flight was delayed, to the gentle manner that she communicated our daily activities and plans. Our morning yoga in some stunning locations was a highlight for me, really feeling the connection with the landscape and the amazing group of women on our trip. The passion from all the EHRA staff for the desert elephants and all the wildlife we saw, was evident everyday and the conservation work they are doing is so very important. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with a sense of adventure, a love of animals and nature and for a chance to really disconnect from our busy lives and embrace all that Namibia has to offer.

I am still trying to get back to “normal” after my amazing trip to the Namibian desert. 16 women, sunrise with yoga, tracking, trekking, campfires, sunsets, camaraderie, baboons, elephants, kudu, springbok, rock dassies, ostriches, eagles, rocks, ravines, 4WD adventures, stories, sharing, songs, laughter. An experience that will affect you deeply….maybe even change your life.

This was an incredible experience. If you are looking to see lots of wildlife this isn’t the one to pick. However if you want an adventure in amazing landscapes this is the one. Be prepared for a ride of a lifetime in more ways than one.
