Zelma Kankili
To me, leading expeditions is more than a profession—it is a lifelong calling.
I am dedicated to weaving together Namibia’s profound cultural legacy with its breathtaking natural vistas. With a solid academic background, holding a B.A. in History and pursuing a PhD in Archaeology, I provide an unparalleled perspective on every safari. Fluent in 11 languages—focusing on indigenous dialects—I facilitate authentic interactions between my guests and the vibrant heritage, ancestral tribes, and customs of our land.
I am convinced that exploration should transcend simple tourism to become a transformative bond with the soil and soul.

Lucas Almada
Co-Founder & Operations Director
Originally from France with French-Italian heritage, Lucas fell in love with Namibia’s extraordinary landscapes and culture, eventually making it his home.
His journey into tour management began with a deep appreciation for the country’s potential, combined with an open-minded, entrepreneurial vision.
Lucas focuses on creating seamless, thoughtfully crafted experiences for travellers who seek more than just
the standard tourist routes, ensuring every journey is organized with care and passion.
Our Story
Our company was born three years ago out of an unexpected, perfect alignment of skills. Lucas was
leading a group on a complex itinerary and realized he needed local expertise to navigate the nuances of the terrain and culture. Enter Zelma. Stepping in with her extensive guiding experience, deep logistical understanding of Namibian tourism, and passion for storytelling, she transformed the journey.
Recognizing that Zelma’s expert field knowledge and academic background paired seamlessly with Lucas’s vision and passion for exceptional travel, we decided to join forces. Together, we founded a company dedicated to delivering authentic, educational, and unforgettable Namibian safaris. We don't just show you the incredible places—we help you understand them.
