Omar Farms Story - The Beginning

The Inspiring Story of Omar Farms

Omar, a young Egyptian entrepreneur, dreamed of bringing the wonders of camels to Zambia, a country rich in natural beauty but unfamiliar with these magnificent creatures. His journey began with a bold decision to import camels from Kenya, embarking on a long, arduous journey through Tanzania and across the African wilderness. Facing numerous challenges—from navigating unpredictable roads to ensuring the safety and comfort of the camels—Omar’s determination never wavered. Despite the difficulties, he succeeded in founding the first and only camel dairy farm in Zambia, creating a sustainable business that celebrates the richness of camel milk and the majesty of these animals.

The Long Journey from Kenya to Zambia

The journey to bring camels to Zambia was not an easy one. Omar faced roadblocks at every turn, from the complex logistics of transporting camels across countries to the cultural and environmental adjustments required for both man and animal. But his belief in the project kept him going. Through endless hours of planning, problem-solving, and adapting to unforeseen challenges, Omar managed to bring the first camels to Zambia, paving the way for the successful establishment of Omar Farms. His resilience and dedication to the cause transformed Omar Farms into a pioneering force in Zambia’s agricultural industry.

Building the Foundation of Omar Farms

Once the camels arrived safely at Omar Farms, Omar focused on creating a sustainable operation. The farm wasn’t just about camel milk; it was about creating a place where people could connect with nature, learn about these fascinating creatures, and experience the serenity of Zambia’s rural beauty. The farm quickly became home to several camels, each one contributing to the success of the dairy. But Omar's vision didn’t stop there. He wanted to build a space where visitors could experience something truly unique—an opportunity to see, touch, and learn about camels, ostriches, and other local wildlife, all while promoting a deep respect for nature and animal welfare.
