Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) remains an important contemporary issue, affecting both wildlife and people and should be managed for the well-being of wildlife and people living with wildlife. This study focuses on farmers living outside Namibian communal conservancies to better understand HWC as research on this category of farmers on HWC is majorly lacking. Interviews comprising of open-ended and close-ended questions in three regions, covering three land tenure systems (commercial, resettlement and communal) were carried out, with a sample size of 142 respondents. The aim of the study was to understand the impacts of HWC on these farmers, their attitude toward HWC and the mitigation method used to protect their livelihoods. Overall, most households interviewed had experienced HWC incidences at some point and perceived HWC to be increasing in their areas. The current Namibian legislation on wildlife and benefits from wildlife does not make provision for non– communal conservancy famers and communities, there is therefore no tangible benefits from wildlife to these farmers. Commercial farmers showed relatively positive attitudes toward wildlife compared to communal and resettlement farmers. The finding confirm what several studies have shown, that the way to ensure a secured future for wildlife is if people are benefiting from this resource that they are living with and that education and awareness is crucial in increasing wildlife tolerance.
