This event serves as an introduction to Namibia Scientific Society’s tour to Angola in May 2017.Jimmy Zimmer is a passionate Namibian tour guide, an expert for remote areas within Namibia and neighbouring countries. As he lived in Portugal from 1983 -1996 he got to know the Portuguese life style and learned the language.Since 1997 he is back home and bought Southern Cross Safaris Namibia and New Moon Safaris in Botswana. Always searching for new destinations, Angola was a destination of special historic interest to him. He mainly concentrated on routes to south-western Angola. With former German families he visited their homes before they left the country around 1974. For sure he knows adventurous roads, emotional meetings with farm labourers and profound stories to listen to.All events are open for public and the venue is at Namibia Scientific Society situated at 10 Robert Mugabe Avenue, opposite National Theatre.
