Namibian Businesswoman Breakfast
Breakfast Catch-up!
Join us for our first Businesswoman Breakfast of 2026 and connect with a vibrant network of women leaders driving business, impact, and innovation across Namibia. For more than 20 years, the Namibian Businesswomen network has provided a trusted platform to build relationships, create strategic alliances, and explore fresh business ideas. Our events are designed to connect, elevate, and inspire women in their personal and professional journeys.
As we step into a new year, this breakfast is the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, and strengthen the foundations of sustainable leadership. Tinolla Rodgers, Founder and Managing Director of African Monarch Journeys, will share her insights on how nature, resilience, and restorative practices can help leaders reset, recharge, and thrive. Walk away with practical tools to enhance clarity, creativity, and long-term effectiveness—both personally and professionally.
This breakfast is more than a meal—it’s a space to reflect, reset, and leave inspired to lead with balance, purpose, and renewed energy.

Welcome Note and Introduction
Networking is not only about trading information, but also serves as an avenue to create long-term relationships with mutual benefits.
For many individuals that have succeeded in their career, the causes have largely been contributed to the strong networking channels they have created over time.
To network successfully you need to question who you network with and determine their relevance to your career growth. Start with how you can contribute to their success, in addition to how you stand to benefit from their knowledge.
08:05 am
Join us for our first Businesswoman Breakfast of 2026 with Tinolla Rodgers, Founder and Managing Director of African Monarch Journeys. Discover how nature, resilience, and restorative practices can help leaders reset, recharge, and thrive—enhancing clarity, creativity, and sustainable impact in your work and life.
Pause, reflect, and reconnect with your purpose—because leadership starts with regeneration.
FEATURED SESSIONS
In an era of constant pressure, complexity, and change, sustainable leadership requires more than resilience—it requires regeneration. Drawing on her experience in conservation, hospitality, and executive recalibration, Tinolla Rodgers explores how nature offers powerful frameworks for clearer decision-making, emotional regulation, and long-term leadership effectiveness.
This breakfast is more than a meal—it’s a space to reflect, reset, and leave inspired to lead with balance, purpose, and renewed energy.
A special thanks to the Namibia Economist for making this event possible!
More than networking: it’s your morning to reset, reconnect, and thrive.

Speakers
Meet Our Speaker
Featured Speaker: Tinolla Rodgers
A Hotelier, Conservation Leader and MD of African Monarch Journeys
Tinolla Rodgers is a hotelier, conservation leader, and founder whose work sits at the intersection of business, resilience, and purposeful leadership.
She is the Owner and Managing Director of African Monarch Journeys, a luxury hospitality company operating within Bwabwata National Park, part of the world’s largest transfrontier conservation area. With over 30 years’ experience across Southern and East Africa, Tinolla has built and led lodges in some of the continent’s most remote and demanding environments.
Following the loss of her husband and business partner, Tinolla successfully steered the company through COVID and beyond—independently and with resilience—within a traditionally male-dominated industry. Her leadership journey has been shaped by lived experience and a deep understanding of the connection between nature, wellbeing, and sustainable success.
She is the founder of The Sijwa Project, a community-based recycling and upcycling initiative that transforms waste into livelihoods, skills development, and dignity for local communities.
Now also a certified ThetaHealing® Practitioner, Tinolla hosts and leads transformational retreats at Nambwa Tented Lodge in the Zambezi Region, supporting leaders and individuals seeking clarity, balance, and conscious growth.
Her leadership philosophy is grounded in purpose, belonging, and stewardship—believing that true success emerges when people are deeply connected to themselves, each other, and the environments they lead.
