Road Maintenance Project

A programme of road maintenance was started in the Trusts first year of operation initially concentrating on the main game drive route around Chosi Loop. Where necessary, new drains were cut and holes in the road filled in. Once the Chosi Loop repair work is complete sections of the Chelinda Bridge and Zungwara Loop road will be repaired. This work continues until the rains begin.

It is now our plan to maintain as many of the roads on the Nyika as possible. Once the rains have finished, teams will be sent out all over the park to repair the roads damaged by the severe wet season torrents.

The road network throughout the Nyika is extensive and requires a great deal of resource to improve and maintain it. There are ambitious plans for the future.
