Project

The proposed Project area is currently utilised as a campsite. The campsite will be redeveloped and refurbished into a tourist’s attraction site. The proposed Project involves the construction of eight (8) accommodation units (bungalows) and supporting infrastructure to uniformly operate as a tourism lodge. The Proponent has been granted tourism concession rights for this development. To enhance the visitor’s experience, the lodge will offer a range of recreational activities, including game viewing drives and river game viewing and photography from a boat in the Kavango River. Commitments will be made to ensure construction and operational activities align with best environmental practices as outlined in the park’s management plan.

ECC’s Role

ECC has been engaged by Purple Rain Investment (Pty) Ltd. as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) to facilitate the entire ESIA process. Prior to the start of the proposed projects, an environmental clearance certificate is required in terms of the Environmental Management Act, 7 of 2007 and the associated EIA Regulations. A final decision relating to the above-mentioned application will be made by Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT): Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA).
