ABOUT KERRY MACFARLANE

Kerry
Kerry is Zambian born and lived in South Luangwa as a young girl when her parents built and ran safari lodges. Thus began a passion that would last a lifetime. Kerry started her career with Thomas Cook in Johannesburg before returning to Zambia in 1997 and later founded Ntanda Ventures Ltd in 2013. With 30 years’ experience in the global travel industry and extensive knowledge of serving the travel needs and expectations of families, diplomats, politicians and company directors.Ntanda Ventures was created with one goal in mind: to bring a passion for wildlife, people and adventures in Zambia to discerning travelers in a package that’s finely tuned and tailored for you. We will show you the highlights and the hidden gems that we have visited and the new ones we have discovered.Ntanda means “the stars”,  the name comes from a ceremonial sacred emblem of the Bemba Tribe, which occupies the country. It represents the sacred starlight in their homes and forms a spiritual connection with nature.We offer stays in camps and lodges that are sustainable and guaranteed to give you memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime. You can rest assured that every stay and option has been given the Ntanda Ventures seal of approval (and we’re very picky!).

What we are proud of

GIVING BACK

For every trip we book we plant seeds to put something back into our community at no extra cost to you - just because we can and we want to. We love our tree planting project on the farm where our office is. We give the trees to people in our community and every trip we go on we personally take fruit trees (and plant them when we can) to the communities we meet. The area where we are based in the Copperbelt of Zambia does not see much benefit from the tourism dollar, therefore we like the people in our area to also benefit in some small way from our industry.

Local Support

Wherever possible we only use local operators and suppliers. Our giveaway safari packs are made by local ladies in our community and our famous trademark, the carved giraffes, are made by local craftsmen in our area. Using local companies is not only better for the local communities of Zambia but also helps to provide travellers better deals.

Added Value

Holiday vacations range from value-conscious to ultra-luxury and everything in between. We know not everyone comes out the same box and so we create each itinerary individually. We make sure the included and excluded are very clear before you pay so there are no hidden surprises.

Travel with Purpose

Safaris By Women For Women, these safaris include supporting girls and young women to continue their education by donating washable, reusable sanitary pads. “When you help another woman rise, we all shine”

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"
- Nelson Mandela
