Property hunting
We are currently searching for the ideal property to start our intended Aviary/park. Most suitable will be in the region close to the Northern town of Tsumeb. The reason is the sub-tropical climate and the general availability of suitable fresh water. The lush green Fauna is also suitable for most bird species and the breeding habitats of most frogs. Some fish species found in the nearby Otjikoto lake is only native to this lake and can be found nowhere else in the world. It will therefore only make sense to breed them in water known to them. They will also be on display to the public in home made aquariums. Tsumeb is also situated en-route to the world knowned Etosha Pans and will therefore be ideally located as a stop over for tourist on this route.Our next option is Windhoek as this is the capital city of Namibia and is home to the main international airport. Basically all tourist enter Namibia via this airport except the ones coming with overlanders via our neighbouring countries, South Africa, Botswana, and Zambia. The negative part about Windhoek is the ridiculous high prices asked for property. One can expect to pay about N$ 1000.00 per square meter whereas in Tsumeb you can pay the same amount per hectare. The local money providing authorities can only afford to lend up to a certain amount and that will make Windhoek to expensive as half of the amount would be used for the development of the park. We will therefore rely heavily on the donations of some individuals and companies open to animal conservation projects like these.
