We had the absolute time of our lives on our Desert Elephant Conservation trip to Namibia. As a family of five with the youngest being only eight, we were delighted to find a conservation project that we could all take part in. Pod were excellent at helping us organise everything, work out what we needed, deciphering the ever-changing Covid travel regulations and answering our many questions! This was a holiday with a difference, all of us, kids included, had the most incredible time working with the charity. The project was a real eye-opener for us all but we loved having the opportunity to do some good and make a difference. At many points leading up to the trip I did question if we were crazy, doing a trip like this with children in tow but I know we would all say now it was one of the best things we’ve ever done, a life-changing experience and very special to do it as a family. Someone asked me recently what we’re planning for our next trip and I honestly can’t think of anything that would beat it! We met inspirational people, made friends, learnt more than we ever imagined and had the most incredible time. Watching the elephants from the platform in base camp, sleeping under the stars and waking to the sound of the crackling wood as the fire was lit for the kettle in the morning were the highlights - truly unforgettable! Thank-you, we would never have stumbled across this trip without Pod!
