This is a mandatory requirement for any subsequent assertion of claims for compensation and usually enables a remedy to be found on site. 9.2 If no Solution is Found on Site If no remedy is possible on site, you must request written confirmation of your complaint and its content. Tour guides, local representatives and service providers are not entitled to accept any claims for compensation. 9.3 After Your Return If no satisfactory remedy was possible on site, you must submit your complaint and the confirmation you obtained on site in writing to Povanhu GmbH or your booking office within 10 days of your return.

Tour guides are authorized to exclude participants from the trip if they cause lasting disruption to the tour group or are unwilling to adapt to the customs of the destination country. Return travel costs etc. shall then be borne by the participant and the travel price paid shall not be refunded. 10.2 Health Requirements Good health etc. is a prerequisite for some trips. If a participant does not meet these requirements, the tour guide may exclude participants from the trip. Return travel costs etc. will be borne by the participant and the paid tour price will not be refunded. 11. Planning After Your Return Despite the best travel planning, it is possible that the return journey may be delayed due to unforeseeable or unavoidable events.

Povanhu GmbH is not liable for any consequential damages. 12 Place of Jurisdiction The relationship between the customer and Povanhu GmbH shall be governed exclusively by Swiss law.

The founding members from Namibia and Switzerland have worked together on many university projects and want to give new impetus to tourism in Namibia. Our trips are planned and carried out with our sister organisation in Namibia, Povanhu History and Heritage Tours CC, which is majority-owned by Namibians.

These trips are intended to provide a post-colonial experience in a country that is still shaped by colonialism and apartheid. We want to enable our customers to experience the diversity of past and present social and cultural worlds in a country in the Global South. What defines us? We enable travellers to gain a current, inclusive and diverse picture of Namibia’s past and present. We put people at the center of our tourism experience.

Our tours enable travellers to have access to and engage in personal exchanges with scientists, activists, artists and experts in Namibia and Switzerland.
