Windhoek: As capital of Namibia, Windhoek is the seat of the judicial, legislative and executive arms of government. It is situated at an altitude of about 1 740 m, at the centre of the country, with the Auas Mountains to the south, the Eros Mountains to the northeast and the Khomas Hochland to the west. The population is some 200 000. Windhoek is set in a deeply eroded valley amid hills and mountains which change colour all day long. Windhoek has the main international airport in Namibia. Air, rail and coach services, as well as safaris, depart from here to the rest of the country. The city is situated at the centre of the national network of tarred roads to points north, east, south and west. Remnants of a once pervasive style of architecture, buildings from the German colonial period are prominently situated in Windhoek. Londiningi Guest House If you’re looking for something snobbish, continue straight on. Londiningi is the exact opposite. Whether it’s because of the place or the hosts, we find ourselves in the lap of comfort and a sincere welcome. As for the setting, the 9 rooms spaced around the sumptuous garden and swimming pool, offer their irreproachable comfort, authentic charm and a permanent attention to detail -terra cotta floor tiles, furniture and fabrics chosen with taste, decoration simple and refined. We find the same generosity in the dining room – a personalized and lavish breakfast, or dinner derived from an eclectic mix of French and Namibian cuisine, served on tables daintily decorated. What’s more, many of the art objects that adorn this guest house, decidedly unlike others, are for sale – without any profit to the establishment – in order to help local artists and artisans.

  • Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis Ssp
    Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis ssp. angolensis) Appendix 1: Historical and recent geographic range and population of Angolan Giraffe G. c. angolensis Geographic Range ANGOLA Historical range in Angola Giraffe formerly occurred in the mopane and acacia savannas of southern Angola (East 1999). According to Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo (2005), the historic distribution of the species presented a discontinuous range with two, reputedly separated, populations. The western-most population extended from the upper course of the Curoca River through Otchinjau to the banks of the Kunene (synonymous Cunene) River, and through Cuamato and the Mupa area further north (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). The intention of protecting this western population of G. c. angolensis, led to the proclamation of Mupa National Park (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). The eastern population occurred between the Cuito and Cuando Rivers, with larger numbers of records from the southeast corner of the former Mucusso Game Reserve (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). By the late 1990s Giraffe were assumed to be extinct in Angola (East 1999). According to Kuedikuenda and Xavier (2009), a small population of Angolan Giraffe may still occur in Mupa National Park; however, no census data exist to substantiate this claim. As the Park was ravaged by poachers and refugees, it was generally accepted that Giraffe were locally extinct until recent re-introductions into southern Angola from Namibia (Kissama Foundation 2015, East 1999, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). BOTSWANA Current range in Botswana Recent genetic analyses have revealed that the population of Giraffe in the Central Kalahari and Khutse Game Reserves in central Botswana is from the subspecies G.

    Namibia’s National Parks “Our national parks are one of Namibia’s most valuable assets. They are our national treasures and their tourism potential should be harnessed for the benefi t of all people.” His Excellency Hifi kepunye Pohamba Republic of Namibia President of the Republic of Namibia Ministry of Environment and Tourism Exploring Namibia’s natural treasures Sparsely populated and covering a vast area of 823 680 km2, roughly three times the size of the United King- dom, Namibia is unquestionably one of Africa’s premier nature tourism destinations. There is also no doubt that the Ministry of Environment and Tourism is custodian to some of the biggest, oldest and most spectacular parks on our planet. Despite being the most arid country in sub-Saharan Af- rica, the range of habitats is incredibly diverse. Visitors can expect to encounter coastal lagoons dense with flamingos, towering sand-dunes, and volcanic plains carpeted with spring flowers, thick forests teeming with seasonal elephant herds up to 1 000 strong and lush sub-tropical wetlands that are home to crocodile, hippopotami and buffalo. The national protected area network of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism covers 140 394 km2, 17 per cent of the country, and while the century-old Etosha National and Namib-Naukluft parks are deservedly re- garded as the flagships of Namibia’s conservation suc- cess, all the country’s protected areas have something unique to offer. The formidable Waterberg Plateau holds on its summit an ecological ‘lost world’ cut off by geology from its surrounding plains for millennia. The Fish River Canyon is Africa’s grandest, second in size only to the American Grand Canyon.

    ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ON EXCLUSIVE PROSPECTING LICENCE EPL4185 AT WLOTZKASBAKEN January 2013 Prepared by: Gecko Namibia (Pty) Ltd Gecko House 8 Sinclair Road Windhoek, Namibia Reviewed by: Nam Enviro Management and Training Services cc Mutjinde Katjiua SUMMARY Gecko Namibia (Pty) Ltd, in the name of its subsidiary Gecko Salt (Pty) Ltd holds EPL4185 which covers 75,335 hectares of coastal desert plains from north of Swakopmund to just south of the Henties Bay peri-urban area. Gecko intends to establish the “Vision Industrial Park” and harbour within the area. The development will require a large amount of fine and coarse aggregate material as well as armour stone for the construction of a breakwater facility. Besides the envisaged VIP development, Gecko is in the process of exploring a number of high-grade marble occurrences on this EPL. As part of the EPL4185 falls within the Dorob National Park, Gecko is submitting this EIA together with Environmental Questionnaires and other prescribed documentation in application for an Environmental Clearance Certificate under the Environmental Management Act of 2007. The company has drawn up an Environmental Management Plan for the prospecting operations and is currently in the process of implementing those measures. Management and exterior control on the adherence of the proposed mitigation actions are considered important tools in preventing negative environmental impacts from the operations. Activities during the exploration phase include sampling, testing and exploratory drilling. The activities are temporary and are conducted at a small scale than those at the drilling/development, production, and decommissioning/reclamation phases.

  • Namibia Overview
    Namibia overview: The Republic of Namibia is in the south-western part of Africa. It has a population of about 2.1 million inhabitants and is 824292 km² big. Parts of Namibia are notoriously dry and much of the country is made up of the Namib Desert and the Kalahari. Towards the north the country becomes greener with the Etosha Pan filling with water from northern rivers. This area is rich in diverse wildlife. The Skeleton Coast marks the area where the Namib meets the Atlantic Ocean and is littered with wrecks of ships that ran ashore in the treacherous waters, whalebone shelters used by the San and ghost towns that boomed during the early diamond days. The country is bordered by Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The Orange River marks the southern border of Namibia to South Africa. The Kunene River and the Okavango River form partly the northern border with Angola. It is the first country in the world that has incorporated the protection of the environment into its constitution. Due to its harsh environment Namibia is sparsely populated with various groups. Its population is made up of San, Damaras, Ovambos, Namas, Hereros, Oorlams, Kavangos, East Caprivians, Rehoboth Basters, Kaokovelders, Tswanas and European settlers, mostly German. Listed are some of the attractions Namibia has to offer: Namib-Naukluft Park Etosha National Park Waterberg Plateau Park Epupa Falls Skeleton Coast Park Fish River Canyon Kolmanskop Brandberg Petrified Forest Rock engravings at Twyfelfontein Sossusvlei and Deadvlei Welwitschia Mirabilis Namib-Naukluft Park The vast Namib-Naukluft Park boasts sweeping desert and mountain landscapes, a diverse range of wildlife, and the surreal Sossusvlei, a scenic saltpan with towering red sand dunes and petrified acacia trees and is one of the world's largest nature and game reserves.

  • Skeleton Coast Namibia Safari
    Skeleton Coast, Desert Elephant, Black Rhino and Himba Explore Namibia’s famous Skeleton coast in search of Desert Adapted Elephant and Black Rhino. This 7 day camping safari departs from Swakopmund and continues north along the Atlantic coast, before following the Hoarusib and Hoanib Rivers into the Damaraland highlands. The return trip to Swakopmund takes you to Fort Sesfontein and Twyfelfontein. Days 1 and 2: Swakopmund / Skeleton Coast Depart Swakopmund and travel north along the Atlantic coast. Visit the lichen fields near Wlotzka's Baken before continuing to Henties Bay, a small holiday resort, and then onwards to the seal colony at Cape Cross. After visiting the seals, the journey continues via Ugabmund northbound to Terrace Bay. These two days are spent exploring the spectacular Uniab River Delta and beach area of the Skeleton Coast up to Möwe Bay, with an option of some rock and surf angling at Terrace Bay. Accommodation is provided on a fully inclusive basis in the bungalows of Terrace Bay Resort. Day 3: Palmwag Concession, Damaraland This morning we leave the Skeleton Coast Park via Springbokwasser, experiencing the harsh transition from the Namib Desert to the Damaraland highlands with its impressive landscape and rugged valleys. We enter the 5000 square kilometres Palmwag Concession in the afternoon. Breathtaking landscapes in mountainous areas teeming with game welcome the guest – springbok, oryx, kudu, ostrich, jackal, zebra, giraffe, hyena, occasionally lion, leopard and cheetah provide excellent opportunities for wildlife photography in this vast open wilderness area. With a bit of luck encounter the endangered black rhino (Bicornis Bicornis) and the famous desert elephant, which roam the area freely.
