Haihambo calls for commitment and excellence at Namib-Naukluft Park

Tourism and environment executive director Sikongo Haihambo undertook a familiarisation visit to the Namib-Naukluft Park last weekend, underscoring the ministry’s commitment to improving service delivery and strengthening relationships with staff on the ground.During the visit, Haihambo engaged extensively with employees from Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR), as well as ministry staff at Sesriem, encouraging them to remain dedicated and proactive in their respective roles.“There is work that needs to be done by all of us, and if we each pull our weight, we will be able to move the needle in the right direction. This undertaking stems from last year and provides an opportunity for me to establish relationships with you, to offer words of compassion, and to hear from you,” Haihambo said.His engagements focused on motivating staff to enhance the quality of services offered to visitors, ensuring that Namibia’s tourism sector continues to grow sustainably while maintaining the country’s reputation as a leading destination for nature-based tourism.The Namib-Naukluft Park, one of Namibia’s largest and most iconic conservation areas, provided a fitting location for the visit. The park spans vast desert landscapes and includes renowned attractions such as Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and Sesriem Canyon. It is also home to the Namib Sand Sea, which was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013 for its unique ecological and geological significance. Beyond its role in biodiversity conservation, the park contributes significantly to the tourism industry, attracting both domestic and international visitors throughout the year.Haihambo’s visit served as an opportunity to connect with frontline staff and as a reminder of the shared responsibility required to ensure that Namibia’s protected areas remain well managed, visitor-friendly and sustainable for future generations.
