One sentiment that was echoed throughout our robust conversation, was the strong desire and the dire need for American travelers to return to Africa. American travelers support Eco-tourism in Africa. Africa knows it, appreciates it, and that’s why you are always welcome. Needless to say, hospitality is a religion in Africa you will always experience our innate African hospitality. Catherine Dryer, conservational manager at San Parks reiterated that tourism is necessary not only for the operational costs of the National Parks, but also for the additional eyes and ears to safeguard the parks. Right now, to me, our greatest threat is the belief that someone else will save our wildlife.
