The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism on Wednesday announced the commencement of renovation works at three entrance gates to Etosha National Park, alongside upgrades to sanitation facilities in both Etosha National Park and Hardap.
The renovation project, totaling N$40.7 million, will see the Anderson, Von Lindqeuist, and King Nehale Lya Mpingana gates at Etosha undergo a comprehensive facelift, ministerial spokesperson Romeo Muyunda said.
Furthermore, the ministry aims to transform select sanitation facilities within Etosha National Park into"comfort stops," featuring upgraded amenities such as toilets, picnic areas, information displays, viewing platforms, and ample parking, all within enclosed and secure environments.
According to Muyunda, funding for these upgrades is provided through the NamParks V project, a development program executed by the government, with co-financing from Germany via the KfW Development Bank.
