The Ongava Centre of Environmental Excellence
Windhoek, 18 April 2016 – Announcing the Ongava Centre of Environmental Excellence (“OCEE”), a
cutting edge working science and research centre. The new facility, which incorporates the HQ of the
Ongava Research Centre (www.orc.com.na), is scheduled for completion mid-2018. Located at the
previous Andersson’s Camp* site (S19° 21'30 E15° 54'25 ) the Centre is designed to provide an advanced
24 / 7 / 365 resource for supporting and sharing advanced research, science and technology in order to
advance knowledge of, and solutions to, the most pressing environmental challenges facing modern
Africa.
Time is running out; climate change, burgeoning human populations, endangered species teetering at the
brink of extinction – all demand urgent, smart solutions. Our concerns lie squarely with the universal
responsibility we all share – the responsibility to bequeath a functioning ecosystem to the next generation;
the next generation of rhinos, lions and our own children. And all that sail with them.
Recognising the global concern for the raging environmental issues of our time OCEE represents a new
innovation for engagement with scientists, researchers, conservationists and rhino security personnel.
OCEE will include an upmarket ecotourism component accommodated in ten contemporary designed
luxury Guest units. Visitors will be immersed in, and encouraged to contribute towards developing
creative, knowledge driven solutions.
Included is the interactive exhibition hub featuring burning issues of the day, new findings, and current
research topics. Through engaging OCEE’s resident and visiting researchers and scientists for the first
time Guests will have unprecedented access to, and insight of, the burning environmental issues of the
day, including formal presentations with Q & A sessions.
Activities include Rhino Tracking with the Ongava APU, Ongava game drives in our unique, eco-friendly
“Research Vehicles”. Along with enjoying the waterhole spectacle at the OCEE Photographic Hide. Plus
easy access to the world famous Etosha National Park.
