As part of my gap year, I had an amazing opportunity to work with Save the Rhino Trust in Namibia. This organisation works on a shoestring to conserve the unique desert-adapted black rhino, in one of the largest and most inaccessible regions of the world. You can go out with the trackers by Landrover, on foot or even on camel, one of the best ways to get across the mountainous Kunene region. There is nothing more special than spending the day wandering through a boulder strewn moon-like landscape in search of mythical looking creatures, then relaxing around a fire at night under the African sky. Unless of course it is knowing that it is all for a really important cause.

A wilderness oasis on the edge of the magnificent Namib desert with 10 kulalas (thatched chalets) in the middle of a 46,000-acre private reserve. We saw oryx, springboks, warthogs, mountain zebras, buzzards, hornbills, ostriches and baboons, with none of the jeep scrum you get in many safari destinations. Nearby, you can look out on a sea of golden dunes at Sossusvlei.
