Episode 8: Tourism and Conservation with Beks Ndlovu and Katja Quasdorf

Conservation Storytelling with Matt Blair

“...at the end of the day, we all really have a common cause, which is to save the wilderness landscape and alleviate poverty on the outskirts of these wilderness areas...and we're all very passionate people about the wildlife and our communities. We're passionate about tourism.” - Beks Ndlovu, CEO African Bush Camps.

How do tourism operators contribute to conservation efforts? My conversation with Beks Ndlovu of African Bush Camps and Katja Quasdorf of Hideaways explores how tourism funds support conservation initiatives, and assist in the continuation of conservation implementing partners like the Conservation and Wildlife Fund (CWF) in the Hwange region.

African Bush Camps was founded by professional guide Beks Ndlovu, and Katja Quasdorf is one of the founders of Hideaways.
