Social Responsibility
Nhomas Safari Camp was set up by Arno and Estelle Oosthuysen in partnership with the //nhoq'ma community. The community receives all the income from activities at //nhoq'ma village and a percentage of the income generated through accommodation. The income generated through Nhoma Safari Camp and its activities allowes the community to buy food and supplies not provided by the surrounding environment. Without this income, the community would have had to leave their ancestral land.

The work at //nhoq'ma village and the surrounding area is an ongoing venture. For anyone who wishes to help the village, Nhoma Safari Camp runs a small fund which is used to help the village and includes:

• school supplies,
  
• clothes for the children,
  
• blankets,
  
• mosquito nets and
  
• fire prevention in the surrounding area.

* Nhoma Safari Camp can be reached in a small 2 X 4 sedan from Grootfontein.

Although Nhoma consists of little more than basic tents around an open dining area, most visitors give it rave reviews. The chance to hunt with the Ju/'hoansi, find out how they gather plants for medicine and food, and experience healing dances is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Although Nhoma consists of little more than basic tents around an open dining area, most visitors give it rave reviews. The chance to hunt with the Ju/'hoansi, find out how they gather plants for medicine and food, and experience healing dances is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

From the moment travellers arrive, they are drawn to the village through a set of activities that bring them into close, ongoing contact with the community. These include a real hunting gathering excursion,  preparation of food, learning traditional crafts, songs and dance, and the possibility of seeing the onset of a trance during one of the dances.

Although there are many opportunities to interact with these legendary people, few are as authentic as the Nhoma experience.
