SANParks (via email, 14 May 2018): According to the Marakele National Park: Park

remote zone and the suggested additional for development do not fall under the remote zone but
development will have ecological implication. rather the primitive zone. The general characteristics
of the primitive zone are described as generally
retaining wilderness qualities. The objectives of this
zone is to have limits of acceptable change. Deviation
from a natural/pristine state should be small and limited
to restricted impact footprints. Existing impacts should
be reduced. Any facilities constructed in these areas,
and activities undertaken here should be done in a way
that limits environmental impacts. Road and
infrastructure specifications should be designed to limit
impacts. The type and size of facilities allowed includes
facilities designed for high levels of luxury, but with
limited visitor numbers that can be accommodated (e.g.
controlled access private camps or concession sites).
Vehicular access is limited to low-spec roads, often
high ground clearance or 4x4. Tourist and game
viewing roads are mostly high ground clearance or 4x4.
Taking into account the above the Proposed
Development of New Access Roads, Staff
Accommodation and Tourist Facilities within the
Marataba Section of the Marakele National Park are
aligned with the use zoning objectives according to the
Marakele National Parks Management Plan 2014-
2024.
See section 9 Activity Motivation in the BAR for further
details on this matter.
