Conservation and Tourism: A Shared Future for Namibia

September brings two important global observances—World Rhino Day (September 22nd) and World Tourism Day (September 27th)—reminding us of the powerful link between conservation and sustainable travel.

We spoke with Odile Gertze from Wild Africa about how protecting rhinos strengthens Namibia’s identity as a world-class destination, while tourism empowers communities to thrive alongside wildlife.

The message is clear: when conservation and tourism go hand in hand, Namibia’s landscapes flourish, its people prosper, and its rhinos roam free.
