"There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne - bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive. "

Being on safari with Bons Roman, expert guide at Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp, makes you feel as if you have drunk an entire bottle of champagne! He is a man with a contagious passion for the people and wildlife of northwest Namibia.

I spent an incredible three days with him recently at Desert Rhino Camp, where we shared many laughs and enjoyed incredible sightings of the desert adapted wildlife.

But Bons is more than just fun …

 

Listen to his story, told in his own words – you will be inspired. Not only for his work, but just how far your journey with Wilderness Safaris goes, by changing the lives of his community, just a stone’s throw from Desert Rhino Camp.
