The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism is satisfied with road upgrades in Etosha National Park ahead of the peak tourism season.

The ministry's Executive Director, Teofilus Nghitila, assessed the progress of the road upgrade.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism is concerned over the increasing use of wire snares to illegally hunt and kill wild animals in the Etosha National Park.

More than N$163 million was spent on upgrading the road network infrastructure that connects to the Etosha National Park.

The upgrade was meant to enhance mobility and accessibility for visitors to the park, as well as provide a service road for effective park management.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism carried out the dehorning of rhinos at Etosha National Park in order to combat poaching in the country.

With the frequent influx of tourists following the lifting of the COVID-19 travel ban, the state of the gravel roads within the flagship Etosha National Park is said to be rapidly deteriorating.
   

The Namibia Wildlife Resorts has forked-out N$16 million to upgrade eight of its tourist attraction sites mainly within the lucrative Etosha National Park.

The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism has announced that the fires outside the Etosha National Park have been suppressed.

The firefighting teams are now busy with the fire burning at the Hobatere lodge.
