TRAVELLING IN STYLE WE
SUPPORT FROM THE TOURISM INDUSTRY
Touring through Namibia can now be done on new levels of comfort with the addition of two Zhong-Tong busses to the SWA Safari fleet. These vehicles are built specifically for Africa’s roads and come with creature comforts that make the journey more pleasurable. SWA Safaris is known for its adventurous spirit and love for the wilderness. The company has taken tourists to all corners of the country since 1954.
ASCO CAR HIRE TRUST SPONSORS HOSPITAL CLOWNS The Asco Car Hire Trust is giving back to the Namibian community by supporting the hospital clowns project of the Fun Factory Namibia. The team of professional clowns visit Windhoek’s Katutura State Hospital, spreading smiles and laughter, and lifting the hearts of the children who are patients and also those of their families. The clowns have received special training to be able to perform in the hospital environment. Their presence is a welcome respite from the otherwise serious atmosphere there.
