Neuman Vasco has been appointed Operations Manager of Wilderness Safaris’ Mombo camp in the Okavango Delta, bringing with him a decade of outstanding conservation, sustainability and camp management experience.
A high-energy self-starter, Neuman’s dedication and ambition has seen him grow from a trainee management position to successfully running a number of Wilderness Safaris camps.
His career took off at Wilderness Safaris’ Jao Camp, where he was appointed trainee manager; five years later he became the camp’s General Manager. Since then, he has managed eight Wilderness Safaris Botswana camps and also been involved in camp decommissioning, rebuilds and openings.
In his new role, managing one of Africa’s best wildlife and ecotourism destinations, Neuman will oversee the operation and management of the camps so that they continue to uphold Wilderness Safaris’ 4Cs sustainability ethos – Commerce, Community, Culture and Conservation. He will be at the forefront of Mombo’s safari activities and sustainability initiatives, ensuring that the guest experience is maximised.
Neuman is currently also the Kalahari Plains Concession Manager, as well as Relief Manager for other Botswana Concessions, including Abu, Kwedi and the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve. In addition, his keen interest in photography led him to being appointed Wilderness Safaris Botswana representative for the company’s visionary Olympus partnership.
