When guests travel to Africa it tends to be because they want to see the wildlife, but upon their return it’s often the people who they remember. It’s not only conservation work that we undertake, we’re also committed to supporting the local communities and one man who’s very involved in this is our Namibian Community Outreach Officer who’s widely known as Ketji. “My full name is Jermain Ketji,” he explains. “But I prefer to be known by my last name Ketji and that’s how everyone knows me.

In northern Botswana, amidst the ornate, watery carvings of the Okavango Delta, lies 200,000 hectares of pristine wilderness. This is Khwai Private Reserve, affectionately known as KPR. Any guest who’s stayed here will tell you that the wildlife is prolific and today this verdant landscape serves as the picturesque backdrop for a number of inspiring conservation and outreach projects. But it was not always so. We spoke to some of the conservation faces of Khwai Private Reserve about how the area has transformed.

We love sharing the stories of the people who call Singita home as much as we love to share thrilling wildlife encounters and conservation successes.
