Torra Conservancy guide
Overview
Torra Conservancy is a communal conservancy in the Kunene Region of north-western Namibia, south of Palmwag. It was registered in 1998, making it one of Namibia’s first communal conservancies.
The landscape is made of rugged desert hills, gravel plains and dry riverbeds. The local community earns income from tourism and wildlife, and shares in managing the land.
Torra is known for its desert-adapted wildlife. Lodges in the conservancy offer game drives, rhino tracking on foot and nature walks.
