#WaterShortageNamibia
#OngwedivaTradeFair
As of today a huge portion of northern Namibia will be faced with water shortage, Namwater has informed stakeholders.
In a statement sent to regional governors and local authorities, the following towns and surrounding areas will be affected by severe water crisis. These are Ongwediva, Oshakati, Ondangwa, Helao Nafindi, Omuthiya and Eenhana.
NamWater Marketing and Corporate Communications head, Johannes Shigwedha said this has been caused by "insufficient raw materials to Oshakati treatment plant and will affect the normal flow".
"Our water pumps at Calueque Dam inside Angola experienced power failure, resulting less water being pumped into the Canal."
Although NamWater has resumed pumping into the Canal, it will eventually take a few days before normal supply is restored.
To ensure that there is some amount of water available, water will be rationed every day from 22H00 in the evening to 04H00 in the morning from today until the 29th of August.
The move spells a curse on Namibia's biggest investment and trade exhibition, the Ongwediva Trade Fair which kicks off on August 26 till September 3 and is expected to attract over 30 000 visitors into the town.

Elephants hamper construction at Nambwa Tented Lodge
Exciting further construction at Nambwa Tented Lodge has been constantly hampered by the herds of elephant who are drawn to the last of the Camelthorn pods scattered around the building site.
Anybody who has ever been brave enough to start a safari lodge will know that building in the bush comes with its own set of unique, and frankly, quite bizarre challenges. As if it wasn’t hard enough just arranging the transport of building supplies and finding skilled people to help, wild animals have no concept of deadlines and won’t hesitate to disrupt the process. Whether it’s a family of swallows building their home in the middle of the renovations, or a couple of giraffe who’ve decided they like the taste of thatch, you never know what to expect when building in the bush!
Nambwa Tented Lodge is completely geared around letting the elephants have their space. Honouring the elephants’ right of way, a timber walkway has been built in the trees, towering above the giants’ pathway below. It connects guests to the ten tented suites at Nambwa.
The elephants, however, don’t seem to feel the need to return the pleasantries by respecting the Nambwa team’s space. These gentle giants seem completely oblivious to Dusty Rodgers and his team of builders working on the building site.
The builders seem equally unperturbed by the elephant’s presence as they work against the clock to finish the latest project. Man and beast working harmoniously alongside each other…
A little more about Nambwa Tented Lodge
Nestled high amongst majestic trees of the Mayuni Conservancy in Namibia, Nambwa Tented Lodge is the only lodge uniquely situated inside the Bwabwata National Park in the heart of the Kavango – Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, (KAZA). Built with privacy and comfort in mind, each spacious tented suite is linked by a wooden walkway and boasts their own private viewing deck.
The main feature of the lodge is the majestic viewing deck, with rewarding views of the floodplains below and the large herds of elephant, buffalo and plains game that seek refuge and security under the tented suites for the night. The area is a sanctuary for more than 35 species of both large and small game and over 450 different bird species. The unique landscape combination of floodplains, woodlands and Kalahari sand dunes ensures a truly unique safari experience.

Dear friends,
It gives great pleasure to introduce Shameena Masoet and Genevieve Paulsen to everyone.
Shameena and Genevieve have recently started with us at the Zambezi Queen Collection and will be based in our Cape Town office, they will be looking after the reservations functions for the Chobe Princesses and Ichingo Chobe River Lodge.
Having spent a full week on the Chobe River experiencing our full product range including the Zambezi Queen, the Chobe Princesses and Ichingo Chobe River Lodge and enjoying every moment on the river, they are now fully aware of how we operate and are looking forward to assisting with their day to day functions in our reservations department.
Shameena and Genevieve have a strong background in the travel industry having both worked for various hotel and lodge groups in their reservations departments prior to joining us.
We recently made the decision to move the Johannesburg office to our Cape Town offices as of the 23rd of June 2016 and the entire Zambezi Queen Collection is now in the same premises.
Lisa Dyboll, Sales and Marketing Manager for the Chobe Princesses and Ichingo Chobe River Lodge will still be based in the Johannesburg office.

#MankweLodgeFire
Message from Shaun Clemence - General Manager of Wildside Africa
It is with great regret that I have to announce that our oldest and most well-known Lodge, Mankwe Bush Lodge suffered a fire on Friday 26th July 2016 at 13h55. The lodges main structures have burnt down completely, however the tents and kitchen have not been affected.
We are working closely with everyone involved to ensure no guests that are traveling are seriously inconvenienced by this unfortunate incident. We will be back up and running soon, and I would personally like to thank everyone for their support in difficult circumstances.
