Windhoek: capital of Namibia

Rivers flooding and overflowing of dams in the southern parts of Namibia is said to be the biggest since the 1990s, as the country's third largest surface reservoir, the Naute Dam, was filled to 117,8% capacity.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform said the dam was 117,8% full with an inflow of 2 300 cubic metres. The country's rainfall over the past two weeks have not only boosted the levels of the country's three largest dams, but have also significantly surpassed dam levels recorded this time last year.

Flooding in southern Namibia over the last few days has caused extensive damage to roads.

Namibia Roads Authority (RA) reported at least 8 roads were closed in the southern Karas Region, in particular around the regional capital Keetmanshoop, as a result of overflowing rivers including the Stampriet, Fish, Hom and Vaalgras. RA said it is currently working on repairs and appealed to all road users to exercise extra caution and be vigilant on their journeys, especially in areas where we have received good rains.

Windhoek residents have been warned of possible flooding as heavy rain persists in the capital. The City of Windhoek issued the warning as the city continues to experience heavy rain, flash flooding and overflowing rivers.

A number of areas in Khomasdal, Katutura, Olympia, Klein Windhoek, Hochland Park, Avis and the city centre have been marked as hotspots due to the rivers that run through them.

The city has cautioned residents living in low-lying areas to take extra precautions during rainstorms as flash floods may affect them.

Windhoek has received rain every day since the beginning of the year. The Namibia Meteorological Service has predicted rain of more than 60 millimetres in various parts of the city. Ongoing rains are experienced across the country, with southern towns suffering major damage to road infrastructure. The northern regions are also encountering heavy rains.

Namibia's rainy season usually lasts from November to April.

Namibia: Gondwana News: renovations at Kalahari Farmhouse

Gondwana News

Kalahari Farmhouse to be open to guests as of the end of April.

The eleven rooms for the Kalahari Farmhouse are available in chalets reminiscent of the Cape Dutch style. Kalahari Farmhouse and the Self-Sufficiency Centre are supplied by the Stampriet Aquifer. It is one of Namibia's largest and most important aquifers and lies underneath the Kalahari dunes like a huge water reservoir.

The Gondwana Academy used to be a mobile training program. It is now situated at the Kalahari Farmhouse.

The Kalahari Farmhouse in Stampriet will be closed for renovations and the Gondwana Training Academy the first four months of 2017 as of 1 January. It will open to guests as soon as 28 April 2017. Originally the Kalahari Farmhouse was to be used for the Gondwana Academy as from January until July 2017. However, this year's training program has been streamlined for various reasons. Gondwana's current Managing Director Mannfred Goldbeck, soon to be the Director of Brand and Marketing, will head the Academy.

The Tourism Industry is currently experiencing a boom and the prospects for the coming year look promising. Therefore Gondwana can make use of the eleven rooms at Kalahari Farmhouse once the Academy courses have concluded at the end of April 2017. The rooms have already been released for bookings.

Located on the fringes of the village of Stampriet in the valley of the seasonal Auob River, Kalahari Farmhouse combines upmarket hospitality with a rural ambience. The reception and restaurant are housed in a farmhouse, built decades ago in the. The small farming business next-door keeps the kitchen stocked with fresh produce for the delicious dishes on the menu. Kalahari Farmhouse is ideally suited for a short holiday with the whole family.

When the Kalahari Farmhouse is not open to guests, it will serve as the home of the Gondwana Academy. The lodge group’s hospitality training and leadership development programme aims to provide service excellence, promoting Namibia as a top African tourist destination.

While the Academy is initially aimed at increasing the skills of Gondwana staff, the intention is to also provide training for people aspiring to work in the hospitality industry and to be a source of leadership development for service professionals wanting to further their skills.
