We are delighted that Ndaboka, one of our young safari guide scholarship recipients, has been offered a two-year training contract with safari operator Roots and Journeys!

She is now working there as an assistant guide and will have the opportunity to take on a permanent position afterwards.

Ndaboka passed the preparatory course, conducted by our partner and long-time friend Okwa Sarefo, with flying colors and is one of very few young local women in Botswana who has the opportunity to work as a professional safari guide. We want to continue to provide young women with this opportunity in the future. The profession of safari guide, which is highly respected and provides a good income for supporting a family, is still dominated by men in Botswana. With our very ambitious young female guides, we will change that! 

Congratulations, dear Ndaboka! We are very proud of you!
