Court Rejects Wilderness Safaris’ Urgent Application Against Ngamiland Adventures
The Maun High Court has dismissed an urgent application filed by Wilderness Holdings Limited (WHL) against Ngamiland Adventure Safaris Proprietary Limited (NAS). Justice Godfrey Nthomiwa ruled the application lacked urgency and contained procedural errors.
Long-Standing Partnership Dissolves
Wilderness and Ngamiland Adventures have maintained a business relationship for 27 years. Wilderness exclusively marketed and sold accommodations for six lodges owned by NAS within the NG25 concession of the Okavango Delta. This arrangement began in 1998, with the last marketing and sales agreement renewed in 2004.
Termination and Failed Negotiations
Ngamiland Adventures informed Wilderness on May 27, 2025, of its decision to end the exclusive marketing agreement, effective December 1, 2025. Following this, both parties engaged in attempts to resolve the dispute outside of court between June and August, including discussions about arbitration. However, these efforts did not lead to a resolution.
