Zimlink offered Gondwana group in exchange for Room and board across Namibia images and promotional videos. After researching the company, following a glowing report from zimlink’s Eugine Ulman. Interested to find out more about the largest tour operator in Namibia and the impact on the areas and communities it works with.
We also linked up with the Omega bed and breakfast in Walvis Bay. Johan and his family went above and beyond to make us feel at home. With some 4×4 driving lessons in the dessert repairing the damage to the Zimlink truck after the dashboard was ripped out whilst in the care of the mnt “Secure pound” they didn’t need to brake as thy had the key, 3 days passing the blame meetings and leaving us to fill out a claim for insurance, with little to know help from our agent… Johan patched up the dash board and lent us he’s support, a kindness we will never forget.
We did not waste the delay in Walvis Bay we linked up with a community school and interviewed a community ambulance crew. With long hour’s hard work and a smile these guys lead by a Romanian dentist saving lives and caring for a wide area.
Now Zac and his team have hit Malawi and whilst waiting for the exemption certificates from the MRA in Malawi. Zac has registered the newest member of the family Lawilink as an NGO in Malawi and has started building a solid foundation.
