Tsaobis Leopard Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tsaobis Leopard Park is a protected reserve of Namibia, located south of Omaruru and east of Swakopmund.[1] The private reserve was established in 1969.[2]

It covers an area of 2349 square kilometers.[3]

After gaining Namibian independence, the park was opened as a farm tourist destination. In the period from 1958 to 1972, pegmatite was excavated here, from the processing of which the known minerals, aquamarine, tourmaline and heliodor, were derived.[4]
