Nkulivere Rising: In conversation with Werner Mbongo on NILALEG’s Initiatives in Kavango West
21 MAY 2024 · In the verdant expanses of the Nkulivere landscape in the Kavango West Region of Namibia, a transformative initiative, managed by the Namibian Nature Foundation under NILALEG, is taking root. The NILALEG project is at the forefront of pioneering development, aiming to uplift local communities through sustainable natural resource management by integrating environmental stewardship with economic growth. I recently had the opportunity to discuss this initiative with Werner Mbongo, the project coordinator for NILALEG’s Nkulivere landscape, as we sat on the banks of the Okavango River just outside Nkurenkuru.
Advancing Environmental Governance in Namibia
20 MAR 2024 · In this episode, Venture Media collaborates with the Namibia Integrated Landscape Approach for Enhancing Livelihoods and Environmental Governance (NILALEG) to explore a transformative project in Namibia. The initiative, led by Jonas Nghishidi and supported by the Global Environmental Facility and the UNDP, aims to integrate conservation, agriculture, and governance to enhance the livelihoods of over 20,000 Namibians. Emphasising integrated landscape management, NILALEG addresses global challenges such as biodiversity loss and climate change, aligning with the UN’s SDGs. Through multi-stakeholder coordination and a grant mechanism supporting community projects, the initiative has made significant strides in sustainable development and gender mainstreaming. Partnerships with local institutions enhance its impact, promising lasting improvements in environmental governance and a balanced coexistence between people and nature in Namibia.

The Adventure Coast
24 FEB 2023 · Namibia’s eponymous Namib Desert lines the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean for more than 1 500 kilometres between South Africa in the south and Angola in the north. Almost right in the centre of this massive desert belt lies a cluster of towns: The port of Walvis Bay, quaint and historical Swakopmund and the retirement-slash-holiday resort of Henties Bay. These municipalities host some of the most exciting and diverse adventure activities to be found in the country. Whether you’re in the market for a relaxing excursion, getting in touch with nature, or for an adrenaline-fuelled experience that will get your blood rushing, you will be spoilt for choice along Namibia’s adventure coast.

Namibia's Wettest Wonderland
24 FEB 2023 · Cradled by the Kwando and Linyanti rivers at the Zambezi Region’s southernmost point, lies Namibia’s largest conserved wetland area, the 28,500-ha-large Nkasa Rupara National Park. Complex tectonic, climatic and hydrological events have shaped and reshaped the wetlands over countless aeons. The most dramatic change took place millions of years ago when uplift along the Linyanti Fault diverted the Kwando River into a northeasterly direction.
Khaudum National Park - The ultimate wilderness
24 FEB 2023 · Khaudum National Park offers an unforgettable and authentic wilderness experience for adventurous travellers seeking solitude in one of Namibia's most remote corners. Its deep, loose sandy tracks and large herds of elephants are legendary, and the park attracts a breed of intrepid travellers.
It's time to explore the Zambezi
24 FEB 2023 · Namibia as a travel destination has become known for cliché phrases such as ‘wide open spaces’, ‘desert vistas’, ‘rolling dunes’ and ‘desert-adapted’, to name but a few. Yet, in the country’s oddly shaped north-eastern arm is a wild, natural playground that is surprisingly accessible considering its largely unspoilt wilderness. It is an area that contains winding waterways, wetlands, floodplains, forests, grasslands and the host of wonderful creatures big and small that inhabit these different ecosystems. Le Roux van Schalkwyk delves deeper into what makes this corner of Namibia unique and a must-see during your visit.
EPIC NAMIBIA - the ultimate route for a first-time explorer
24 FEB 2023 · Through the ages explorers have inspired mankind with accounts of their travels. Those with an adventurous spirit who read about these journeys were enthralled and tempted to travel and experience far-off places for themselves. But alas, that was an impossible quest except for a fortunate few.
These days travel writers inspire their readers with words and with photographs of wondrous places. With the click of a button the most amazing images of practically any secret place in the world can be discovered by almost everyone without lifting as much as a finger. In today’s world exploring has become part of our lives as we travel on our smart phones. It allows us to dream and get lost in the reality of someone else’s experience.
The pandemic of the past two years has proven, however, that all the beautiful descriptions with the perfect set of adjectives and the most incredible images cannot replace the sense of place. The sense of sounds and smells and that unfathomable sense of wellbeing when you come to a place that you have dreamt of and the reality lives up to your expectations.
Namibia is such a place.
