The Living Desert Snake Park, which has been operating at Swakopmund for three decades, has finally secured a new place after narrowly escaping closure due to the planned demolition of its current building.
Co-owner Angela Curtis tells The Namibian finding a new place was a challenge due to property shortages and high rental costs at the coastal town.
The relocation comes after the snake park struggled to secure a suitable location, following a notice that its current building would be demolished to make way for a new development.
“We were given notice last year, but we have been struggling to find a new place. It is difficult to move 69 snakes because the zoning has to be right and the neighbours have to be comfortable with it,” she says.
