We are thrilled to have Tristan Cowley as one of the speakers at the APTA National Forum in Denver on September 14th & 15th!
Tristan is also the founder of the Conservation Travel Foundation, which in the last 5 years has invested in excess of USD 400,000 into conservation and rural development projects, and also co-founded the NATH Education Trust, which since its inception 8 years ago, has raised USD 500,000 for the training of Namibian guides as well as the establishment of a blended learning platform (e-learning) for Namibian guides.
A passionate Namibian and son of veteran Namibian anti-apartheid political journalist, Tristan’s enthusiasm for Namibia, its people and the protection of the environment is at the forefront of everything he does. A published scientist, conservationist and specialist guide, he is the co-founder of Ultimate Safaris Namibia. His career began guiding river canoe safaris in South Africa before managing a renowned safari camp in Namibia, whilst studying Nature Conservation and qualifying as both a safari and hunting guide in Namibia. Tristan became a specialist guide in Namibia before leading safaris throughout southern and East Africa after founding Tou Safaris in 2003. In 2008 he co-founded Ultimate Safaris, which has grown into Namibia’s premier Conservation Travel company, employing more than 80 quality full time staff.
