After months of refurbishments, Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) reopened the Hobas Camp on 7 April.
NWR chairman Leonard Iipumbu thanked Zelna Hengari, NWR’s managing director, and the entire NWR team for making the Hobas project a success.
“You have managed to pull off an amazing transformation. I know that this achievement has come with a lot of hard work and dedication. Hobas looks beautiful and I am sure that everybody cannot wait to enjoy the new additions,” said Iipumbu.
He said apart from hiking in the canyon he was pleased with the cross-border activities that took place at Hobas between April and September every year.
The main emphasis of the cross-border activity is a five-day cycling tour. Iipumbu encouraged people to take part in the cycling tour because it contributed towards unlocking the tourism potential of the /Ai-/Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park.
Previously Hobas was solely a campsite. With the addition of rooms, a restaurant and swimming pool there is now more to offer visitors who visit the area during the hiking season.
Hengari said: “With this reintroduction, government’s efforts and commitment to developing and growing the tourism sector can be vividly seen. As the custodians of the establishments within Namibia’s national parks, NWR is pleased with these new additions. The amount of work that went into realising this product is testimony that when provided with the resources, NWR can deliver.”
