Abenteuer Afrika Safari
Hilmar Tonnemacher is a third generation Namibian. Dianne Orban moved to Namibia from Cape Town. While managing a hotel in Swakopmund, Hilmar and Dianne had the enterprising notion of offering their guests guided tours of the Moon Landscape in the Namib Desert.
South African democracy shortly followed Namibia's independence in the early '90s and a DMC gap in the blossoming tourism industry was ripe for the picking. Dianne and Hilmar founded Abenteuer Afrika Safari in 1993 and set about developing Namibia as a major southern Africa destination.
Now, 19 years later, Abenteuer Afrika Safari is Namibia's leading Destination Management Company with an enviable track record, including high profile clients such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and legendary African explorer Kingsley Holgate.

Abenteuer is the German word for Adventure and, while Abenteuer Afrika Safari has branched out into many travel sectors, adventure is still an integral part of our service. In fact, we have daily adventures reading the radical variations of our name:
- abintoya
- abentoya
- abentour
- abenture
- abenteure
- abenteur
- abentuer
- abendteuer
- abentauer
- abentaur
- aventeuer
- abent eur
- aventur
- abendeuer
- aventeuer
- and our favourite... oventour
Sometimes we think it would have been wise to choose an easier name. But then reason asks, “Where's the fun in that?”. And fun is what keeps Abenteuer going.
"We provide the coolest experience in the hottest destination"
