The stairway project aims to improve accessibility to the site by different groups of people as well as to reduce the risk of accidents on site at this prime tourist attraction.
The project will be launched by the acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism, Jimmy Opelo, in the presence of the Diamond Trust chairperson, Boyce Sebetela and local authorities in Ngamiland.
The stairway project is funded by the Diamond Trust to the tune of P1 million and construction is expected to take six months.
The Diamond Trust is a non-profit making entity, through which Debswana Diamond Company and De Beers fund large community based projects.
Since 2010, the Tsodilo community has received over P14 million and technical support to enhance the viability of tourism potential of the area.
