Is there any restriction in the park rules on the amount of vehicles that is allowed to go simultaneously?

Hi Martin, daar is geen 'boomed' hekke of so iets daar nie. Net twee kamp area's Khaudum in die noorde (wat limited mense kan huisves) en dan so 60km suid Sekereti kamp met 4/5 kamp plekke en een groot oop area.Popmar wrote:Is there any restriction in the park rules on the amount of vehicles that is aloud to go simaltaneously?

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
When looking for sponsors - what about Toyota themselves? We are a club and as far as I know - they sponsor the Cruiser club and the Toyota owners club from time to time where the purpose of the project is worthwhile according to them. I belief they have sponsored the owners club where they help with the fences at Pilansberg.
We will have to put a businessplan together before we make contact with them.
The person to contact is Ferdi de Vos and his e-mail address is fdevos@tsb.co.za as far as I know.

The fact that the event falls outside the borders of SA may well put Toyota SA off.

We're on holiday from 14 July at Kgalagadi, so if you can organize it for the week before, I can take a nice break from hardwork on my way back home.

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
Until we have not answered these fundamentals there is no way that any potential supporter or sponsor will even entertain a discussion with us.
1. How many vehicles/teams will go?
2. What will be do at Khaudum?
3. What is the requirement at Khaudum?
4. What is required from the Sponsor?
5. What will they gain out of spending money from their corporate social responsibility contribution?
6. Why as South African company sponsor a cross border event into an obscure hardly visited destination?
7. Does Khaudum require our assistance?
8. Is our assistance even wanted?
It might sound lightly negative, but that is the realism when talking exposure as well as sponsorship. Especially when involving large corporates. It can under no circumstances look as if the members of the Club is using the Club to be a vehicle to find money to sponsor a holiday. And dealing with a large corporate you always stand the chance of your whole event being hi-jacked and taken over as a publicity event for them.

A few questions. How many club evens are planned so far for next year? Isn't the 3 week Nam trip and the Khaudum event the same thing? And what is the Mana Pools game count?
Second question. I've never gone on an out of country trip (or any 4x4 trip for that matter). How much $$$ am I looking at for the Khaudum event? I just spent a butt load getting my Hilux tip top condition and funds will be scarce for a while . . .
Please let me know. Thanks!!!

Further to my post on the new management for Khaudum accomodation - see this link for more information: http://www.travel-namibia.com/2011/05/k ... onal-park/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In an undated (probably around April 2011) Namibia Country Lodges newsletter they say: "Khaudum National park will soon be undergoing a transformation in the form of two new luxury camps. Sekereti Camp in the south and Khaudum Camp in the north both will have eight en-suite tented units on wooden decks - (below example). The southern and northern campsites within the Khaudum National Park are being renovated to cater for guests who prefer camping while exploring the Park.".

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
Extract from the article:-
Accommodation
Camping is only allowed at the two designated camp sites (closed until further notice and thus no overnight in the park is allowed!) – newly privatised camps to be opened in 2012 (run by Namibia Country Lodges) – more information on the upgrading can be found here under “Planning Information > Developments”.
I imagine we may need to confirm whether this is actually happening or a non-event...

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
Tydens vorige besoeke aan die park het ons gevind dat die twee kampe drastiese aandag nodig het. Die grootste probleem egter, was dat die pompe wat die watergate van water moet voorsien, of nie diesel het nie, of dat dit weens swak diens glad nie bruikbaar is nie. Olifante het kniediep in die modder gestaan en wag dat die pompe water moet pomp. Koedoes en ander wild het rondom die watergate saam gedrom en wag vir water wat nie kom nie. Ons het by die pompe wat wel bruikbaar was, van ons eie diesel voorsien en water gepomp. Dit was tragies om die diere se reaksie te sien as die water begin loop.
My gevoel is dat dat as daar enige iets gedoen moet word die voorsiening van water aan die diere voorkeur moet geniet. Toilet deure is nie belangrik in die geval nie. As daar iemand is wat solar panele en pompe kan bekom sal die 'n baie groter inslag vind in die Park. Brandstof vir die pompe is duur en die personeel het nie altyd vervoer om die pompe te diens nie. So manne en meisies, laat ons liewer ons sjielings in 'n pot gooi en die diere van water voorsien!

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
Frik ek stem heeltemaal saam, maar ek glo ons moet eers seker maak dat ons, in die eerste plek toegang kan kry in (tot,)( seker vrot Afrikaans) die park, en ook dat die park nie deur n privaat maatskapy beheer word nie, dan glo ek is dit hulle verantwoorklikheid om te sorg dat die diere genoeg water kry.

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
Bietjie agtergrond; Die Park word bestuur deur Natuurbewaring. Ongelukkig is die plaaslike bestuurder die die probleem van wat ek kan uitvind. Fondse is definetief nie die probleem nie, maar dit kom dalk net nie uit vir wat dit bestem was nie. Voorheen kon hulle nie by die paaslike vulstasie in Tsumkwe diesel kry nie, maar dit is nou uitgesorteer van wat ek kan verstaan. Ek sal uitvind by my kontakte of Natuurbewaring enigsins hulp sal aanvaar, offisieel. Met geld ondeur die tafel, ja. Ek weet op ander plekke in die suide het die myne maar die funksie soort van aanvaar om water te voorsien, want dit word net nie gedoen nie.
Daar is ook belangstelling uit ander oorde om te help, en plaaslike mense in Tsumwe sal seker ook wil betrokke wees. Ek gaan so oor n week of 2 daar wees en sal bietjie kyk wat is die opsies plaaslik.
N eenmalige 'skenking' het seker baie minder logistiek nodig , maar om dit te monitor en dan te reel vir wat ook nodig is het dalk bietjie meer logistiek nodig.
My opinie is iemand moet gereeld net monitor wat die bokwagters doen en dan rapporteer aan iemand wat kan gatskop. Dalk tussen al die belanstellings gereeld n trip doen en rapporteer. . Ek het laas dit onder die aandag van oud Natuurbewaarder gebring wat nog redelik kontak hoër op het en hy het so n bietje geroer daar bo, wat gehelp het.
Maar julle is welkom om te kyk wat kry julle reg. Ek het net nie op die staduim baie tyd om te veel betrokke te wees nie.
PS Die kampe gee hulle onder konsesesies uit, of dit word deur n die Staats Maatmaatskapy, Wild Life Resorts bestuur.

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
To Prepare you for your proposed trip, here are a few photos of Khaudum.
BTW: DON'T RELY ON FUEL AT TSUMKWE: The one and only fuel station is owned/run/managed by the lodge. Their fuel supplies are erratic and when we went through they rationed us to 20L. For that 20L we had to fight as we were originally told that there was no fuel but after leaving the petrol station and driving down the road, we hid and spyed on them. Once they started filling one of the loacl vehicles we hauled back into the petrol station and demanded fuel..... Hence the mission to get fuel. Rather make sure you have enough not to rely on the fuel station at Tsumkwe.
Please allow me to post the pictures before replying becaues I'm going to do them one at a time , this will make the picture viewing much easier.

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
That's all folks!!
The park needs people to go and sort out the solar pumps for the water holes and really the park will benefit from some and I say some tourisim. The Park is and can be if run correctly an wonderful wilderness area for those that want to do the 4x4 thing. But typically some investor will come in and tar the road, build a Protea Hotel and charge expensive rates. Force people to use the hotels 4x4 game drive vehicles and generally stuff up a great wilderness area all in the name of lining their pockets. Let this not happen guys. Let's promote the park as it is but with better working infrastructure like mentioned.
Thank You for not posting replies during this presentation. You may do so now if you wish.

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
The Park was officially closed six or seven years ago due to the lack of infrastructure. No fences meant that people could just come & go as they wished. The first time I went there they charged R35 to stay as long as you liked. Two further visits have shown the animal numbers to have deteriorated & been more skittish & wild, due to hunting. Due to lack of fuel, it is better to leave from Rundu about 110 km's tar from turnoff to Kaudum. If you leave from Grootfontein, you travel about 50 km's tar, then 250 km's dirt road before the turnoff to Sekeretti from Tsumkwe. Those days there were no lodges & fuel around Tsumkwe Area. Around Sekeretti is dirt tracks which can all be negotiated in 4x2. The top half around Kaudum camp is 4x4 due to thick sand with the exception of the drive along the river north east of Kaudum camp. The thick sand sucks the sauce & I averaged about 4km's per liter in the thick sand with a 94 Hilux 2.4 D/C

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
I have spoken to one of our suppliers, Grundfos, and they make a range of solar pumps. I have outlined very basically what needs to be done at Khaudum and they said the would be very keen to sponser the solar pumps. I don't know to what lengths they would go and when they say sponsor does it mean cost price/free or what? Nevertheless if the rain makers for this proposal PM me and I can try an put you in touch with my supplier, we may then be able to get something more concrete in place. This may be a starting point to something much bigger. Don't loose out.

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
Yes MM, good, Grundfos sqf is the only way anyhow for solar, but if you ask me, most probable they use these sqf pumps, but if enough is the question, and then theft must also be considered.
What is worrying I see every one changing wires on those solar pumps there , and I wonder if those people knows the optimum Volts, although very versatile, for the pumps.

Re: Khaudum Nasionale Park(Nam) Hilux event
Johan,
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.
But yes, volt drop is a concideration and needs to be worked out correctly. Like everything, one needs to do the correct calculations and engineer the scheme to the correct parameters.
I saw the waterholes at Khaudum did have solar panels etc already. I suspect that most of the problems are maintenance related as the installation (from what I could see) seemed to be OK. Therefore before going t the park with a truck load of equipment one really needs to do a recci to see what is required and based on that, return with tools, equipment and manpower prepared to tackle sepcific tasks/projects.
