Ten bungalows have been built at Jakkalsputz as part of the Tungeni Africa Investments plan to provide more value for holidaymakers to the company’s three coastal resorts. Situated just south of Henties Bay, Jakkalsputz is traditionally known as the fisherman’s camping grounds.
The most basic of the bungalows covers about 20 m2 and consists of a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom with a shower and toilet. The houses, built with aluminium panels and isolating material, have wooden panels on the outside. Each bungalow was built on a wooden deck, with a small veranda.
Further upgrades at Jakkalsputz included repairing broken property, a new coat of paint and cleaning the long-drop toilets. Tungeni Africa intends building a further 50 bungalows.
Upgrades at Mile 72 and Mile 108 have also been completed. These two fishing camps are ready for the holidaymakers. The fuel problem at Mile 108 has been sorted out and this year, visitors will be assured of a constant supply of fuel. Von Bach upgrades Tungeni Africa Investments is investing over N$15 million in renovations at the Von Bach Dam. According to a statement released by the company, “The investment and further developments underline the commitment that Tungeni made to Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) and the people of Namibia to help develop recreation facilities.”
The existing bungalows are being upgraded and a new village and wellness centre, will be created outside the Von Bach Dam catchment area. The Von Bach Dam is situated a few kilometres north of Okahandja. www.tungeniafrica.com
