Windhoek, Namibia – 24 April 2025 – Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) wishes to inform all guests and self-drive visitors that the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) has introduced a temporary traffic deviation inside Etosha National Park to accommodate major road-construction works. From 23 April 2025 until November 2025, all vehicles travelling eastward from Okaukuejo toward Halali will be rerouted via Gemsbokvlakte.

 

 

Key details

• Deviated route: Follow sign-posted detours from Okaukuejo to Gemsbokvlakte before re-joining the main arterial road to Halali.
• Gate closure: The direct Okaukuejo–Halali section is closed for the duration of the project.
• Duration: 23 April – November 2025 (subject to construction progress).
• Speed limits & signs: Please observe all temporary signage and reduced speed limits.
• Construction traffic: Expect heavy machinery on-site; maintain a safe following distance.
• Park rules still apply: Remain inside your vehicle, keep to marked roads, and respect wildlife at all times.

Notice: Traffic Deviation via Gemsbokvlakte (Okaukuejo Route)

Detour Layout – Phase 1

 

How this affects your stay

• Game-viewing access remains excellent along the Gemsbokvlakte detour, with frequent sightings of elephant, lion, and plains game.
• Sunrise and sunset drives from Okaukuejo will depart as scheduled, but allow extra travel time if you plan to visit Halali or farther east.
• Guided excursions booked through NWR will automatically adjust routing; no guest action is required.
• Fuel & supplies: Okaukuejo’s filling station and shop operate as normal; Halali services are accessible via the detour.

 

Travel tips

1. Start early: Morning departures reduce congestion and maximise wildlife viewing.
2. Download an offline map of Etosha before arrival; mobile coverage is limited.
3. Carry water and snacks in case of brief construction-related delays.

The late Founding Father, Dr. Sam Shafishuna Nujoma, had a profound connection with Terrace Bay, a place where he could indulge in one of his greatest passions—fishing. His last visit to the resort was in 2021. Upon arrival, he wasted no time, dropping his bags and heading straight to the water to cast his fishing line into the Atlantic waves.

 

 

A Lifelong Passion for Fishing

 

As the years passed and age took its toll, the Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) staff assisted him by fishing on his behalf. He would jokingly remark that he wanted the fish to be as big as the ones he would have caught himself. Despite this, Dr. Nujoma always preferred to stay near the ocean for as long as possible, observing the weather patterns and taking in the coastal environment. It often took some persuasion to convince him to leave his fishing spot.

 

 

Honoring His Presence at Terrace Bay

 

Dr. Nujoma’s connection with Terrace Bay was so significant that one of its houses was named after him—Tate Sam Nujoma’s House. This residence remains a popular choice among regular anglers. Additionally, his enthusiasm for fishing led to a well-known fishing spot being named in his honor: Nujoma’s Fishing Hole.

 

 

A Leader Among His People

 

One of the most notable aspects of his visits to Terrace Bay was his informal interactions with NWR staff and visitors. He walked around the resort freely, without security details, engaging with those around him. Resort Manager David Nekwaya recalls how he would gather the staff at the restaurant to share childhood stories. “We would remind him, ‘Tate, we have to attend to our clients now,’ but he would insist we return later, as he had more stories to share,” Nekwaya recalls. These storytelling sessions became cherished moments for those who had the opportunity to listen.

 

 

Fishing Companions and Shared Memories

 

Dr. Nujoma’s appreciation for Terrace Bay was not limited to personal retreats. He frequently invited close associates, including the late President Robert Mugabe, to join him on fishing trips. Their shared experiences contributed to the rich history of this special location.

 

 

Commitment to Sustainability and Community Development

 

Beyond fishing, Dr. Nujoma took great pride in maintaining Terrace Bay’s cleanliness and sustainability. He initiated cleaning campaigns, treating the place as his own jewel and ensuring it remained pristine for future visitors. His dedication extended beyond environmental efforts—he played a crucial role in assisting the camp with establishing Sam Nujoma Primary School, which complemented the existing clinic and police station. His vision was to create a well-rounded and sustainable community.

 

 

A Lasting Legacy

 

As we reflect on his passing, Dr. Nujoma’s presence at Terrace Bay will be remembered fondly. His legacy lives on in the ocean waves, the stories told by those who knew him, and the fishing lines cast into the waters of Nujoma’s Fishing Hole. His influence and love for the place will continue to be felt for generations to come.

Windhoek, Namibia – 5 November 2024 – The Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) and Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) hereby announce a collaborative journalism training program to be held at Hardap Dam Resort from November 7 to 9, 2024. This initiative, led by the NSA’s Census team, aims to proactively equip journalists with skills in understanding, accessing, and accurately reporting data, specifically focusing on census data.

 

Over 14 journalists from various media outlets will attend this training, covering topics including journalism’s role in data dissemination, interpreting census results, fact-checking, and storytelling with data. The program emphasises the importance of factual, data-driven reporting in empowering the public with critical information on health, education, and the economy.

 

NWR spokesperson Mr Nelson Ashipala highlighted how the collaboration came to be, considering that the two institutions operate in parallel industries.”For NWR, committing to journalist training on the Census in partnership with the NSA is a strategic step to support accurate, comprehensive reporting on a national initiative that directly impacts our industry and the country. By equipping journalists with the tools and knowledge needed to cover the Census effectively, we ensure that critical data around tourism, demographics, and regional development are well represented,” he said.

 

The training will begin with an overview of the NSA’s recent census data, followed by hands- on sessions designed to help journalists navigate and utilise data for accurate reporting.
