4 TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT PART OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED SKUKUZA SAFARI LODGE IN THE KRUGER NATIONAL PARK 1. BACKGROUND This traffic impact assessment was done as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the development of the proposed Skukuza Safari Lodge within the existing Skukuza Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park. The proposed facility is planned to be located next to (just west of) the existing Conference Centre. The location of the proposed facility is indicated in the Skukuza Conference Lodge: Layout Map of Exigo 3, a copy of which is presented in the Annexure. The proposed facility will comprise a 128-bedroom Safari Lodge; a copy of the Concept Design Site Plan is presented in the Annexure. Some existing staff accommodation (1 units) and 6 chalets will be removed to accommodate the new facility. New staff accommodation will be developed. Of the planned 128 staff members only 4 to 48 staff members will be accommodated in Skukuza, the rest will be transported by bus daily. 2. METHODOLOGY The normal methods used to measure the impact of a development on the road network are not really relevant for the roads within the Kruger National Park, because they measure the level of service at intersections during the peak traffic hours. The Kruger National Park measured congestion levels on different roads as part of a comprehensive Traffic Assessment (1) done for the park in July 28. Density was used as the measure using the following formula: Density = 2,4*Hourly Traffic Volume/Average Speed Initially a density threshold value of 2 vehicles per km was set as the norm. As part of the Traffic Assessment (1) the then current densities were measured and the acceptable road congestion thresholds, as perceived by visitors, were determined. Visitors indicated that they would be comfortable with congestion levels to 7 or 8 vehicles/km. Based on the maximum acceptable number of vehicles at any sighting, a threshold value of 3 vehicles per kilometre was accepted. Based on the available data the following methodology was adopted: Obtain gate entry data at all the southern gates. Obtain the vehicle count information done in 28. Calibrate the vehicle count data with the gate entry data for the same dates. Use the calibration to convert the gate entry data into equivalent 12-hour count information. Determine the congestion levels of the respective roads for the years for which the gate entry data are available. Determine the trip generation and distribution for the proposed Safari Lodge facility. Add the expected new trips to the existing (modelled) 12-hour counts. Determine the congestion levels of the respective roads that the proposed Safari Lodge will impact. 3. SITE LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILTY The proposed new Safari Lodge will be located in the existing Skukuza camp as depicted in Figure 1. This Safari Lodge will specifically cater for the conference facility. We therefore expect the shortest routes to the 1 Skukuza PP2898

The following three roads are regarded as the most likely and popular to be used by Safari Lodge guests: Numbi Gate travelling along Road H1-1 to Skukuza Phabeni Gate travelling along Roads S1 and H11 to Skukuza Paul Kruger Gate travelling along Road H11 to Skukuza 4. EXISTING TRAFFIC DEMAND 4.1 Gate entry data We obtained gate entry data from the park dating back to 27 to the end of December 212. In addition to these we were also given a copy of the Traffic Impact Study done for the Conference Facility (2), dated May 28 as well as the Traffic Assessment done for the Marula Region Strategic Environmental Assessment Kruger Park (1), dated July 28. As part of the Traffic Assessment done for the Marula Region Strategic Environmental Assessment, various counting stations were set in the southern region of the Kruger Park. The traffic counts done at the relevant counting stations were conducted during April 28. From the gate entry data which we obtained from the Park, we extracted the data for April 28. The graphs below depict the Kruger Park entries at the Numbi Gate, Phabeni Gate and the Paul Kruger Gate: NUMBI GATE ENTRIES (APRIL 28) Total Visitors Day of the month PHABENI GATE ENTRIES (APRIL 28) Total Visitors Day of the month 2 Skukuza PP2898

YEAR HIGHEST NUMBERS OF VISITOR ENTRIES DURING APRIL Numbi Phabeni Kruger Table 1: Highest numbers of visitors through the respective gates in April Yearly graphs were compiled for 211 and 212 reflecting the gate entries at the respective southern gates to the Kruger Park. Copies of these graphs are presented in the Annexure. A set of graphs was also compiled reflecting the sum of the entries for both total vehicles entering the park per day as well as total visitors entering the park per day through the southern gates, (see Annexure). 4.2 Traffic counts The locality map indicating the counting stations extracted from the Traffic Assessment (1) done for the Marula Region Strategic Environmental Assessment is presented below. 3 Skukuza PP2898

7 Number of people or vehicles The traffic counts done at the relevant counting stations were done from 16 to 22 April 28 for the low season and from 6 to 12 April 28 for the high season. 4.3 Gate entry & traffic count comparison The eastbound vehicle count at Counting Station 4 was compared to the gate entry data of Numbi Gate for the respective days on which the counts were done. The eastbound vehicle count at Counting Station 1 was compared to the gate entry data of Phabeni Gate for the respective days on which the counts were done. The eastbound vehicle count at Counting Station 3 was compared to the gate entry data of Paul Kruger Gate for the respective days on which the counts were done. The results of these comparisons are presented below. Unfortunately only visitor (person) entries were recorded at the gates and not the number of vehicles entering.

The actual count at Counting Station 3 is substantially higher than the gate entries recorded, which is probably due to the many staff and delivery vehicles using this road (Paul Kruger Gate to Skukuza). The results of the calibration done for each gate are presented in the graphs below.

Also presented in the Annexure is a graph depicting the total visitor entries through the Paul Kruger, Phabeni and Numbi Gates respectively, as well as combined. The Kruger National Park is using density to measure the level of congestion on the roads. A level of 3 vehicles/km was accepted. Applying the calibration model to the gate entry data resulted in derived 12-hour counts equivalent to the count station data of Stations 4, 1 and 3. Applying the density formula to the derived 12-hour count data resulted in density figures for the Numbi Gate Road (H1-1), Phabeni Gate Road (S1) and the Paul Kruger Gate Road (H11) for 28, 29, 21, 211 and 212. The graphs depicting the data are presented in the Annexure. The yearly daily averages and deviations are presented in Table 7 below APRIL 28 APRIL 28 COUNT NUMBI GATE ROAD: COUNTING STATION 4 Average daily density Variance PHABENI GATE ROAD: COUNTING STATION 1 Average daily density Variance PAUL KRUGER GATE ROAD: COUNTING STATION 3 Average daily density Variance Table 7: Yearly average densities and variances The actual 6-minute peak hour and 15-minute peak densities recorded in 28 at the respective counting stations are presented in Table 8 below. Counting station Road Maximum density (Veh/km) Peak 15 min Maximum density (Veh/km) Peak 6 min Maximum density (Veh/km) Peak 12 hours 1 S H H Table 8: Maximum recorded densities recorded in April Skukuza PP2898

15 It must be noted that the density on the section of road just before entering Skukuza where the Paul Kruger Gate entries and the Phabeni Gate entries merge, will be higher. We expect the daily year average to be at least 6 vehicles/km. This is based on the sum of the separate volumes. 4.7 Peak hour data Per hour visitor entry data for 212 were obtained for the southern gates. The data for the peak traffic days (see Table 5) were extracted to get an understanding on the expected peak arrival patterns at the various southern gates in terms of overnight visitors and day visitors. Graphs reflecting the entries per hour at the respective southern gates were compiled and are presented below. 12 Skukuza PP2898

18 From these graphs it is clear that the Day Visitor entries through the gates show a distinct early morning peak hour. The entry of does not have a distinct early morning peak hour pattern and occurred in a more spread-out manner. 5. TRIP GENERATION The SA Trip Data Manual recommends a peak hour trip generation rate of,3 to,5 trips per room with splits of 6:4, 5:5 and 55:45 for hotels. This cannot be applied for the proposed Safari Lodge with a sleeping capacity of 272 people. Although the main purpose of the proposed Safari Lodge is to cater for conference delegates, it will probably also be utilised for normal Kruger Park visitors. Staff trips will at most be 2 busses in and 2 busses out per day. The use of the Safari Lodge to provide accommodation for conference delicates will in fact contribute to a reduction in traffic on the road network. At this stage some conference delegates stay outside the Kruger Park because of the lack of appropriate accommodation inside Skukuza, adding additional trips to the road network. At this stage conference delegates staying in Skukuza Camp, in most instances stay some distance from the conference facility. They travel from their accommodation to the venue. This results in the doubling of parking spaces to be provided in Skukuza Camp (at the accommodation and at the conference facility). The worst case traffic scenario will be during high peak periods where the Safari Lodge will be used to provide accommodation to visitors. The following assumptions are made: Average stay of 2 nights per room 1 trip (vehicle) per two beds An average stay of 2 nights in the Safari Lodge will result in an expected trip generation of 128 trips per day on one of the roads between the 3 respective gates serving the Kruger National Park and Skukuza Camp. The provision of additional accommodation in Skukuza Camp will also contribute to a slight increase in traffic on the roads surrounding the camp. This will be more so over peak times when the Safari Lodge will be used to provide additional accommodation in the Kruger Park. During normal operating times the Safari Lodge will tend to lower the number of vehicles currently on the roads, because conference delegates will not need to travel in and out of the park while attending a conference. We expect Safari Lodge guests to also make use of the airfield which the Kruger Park is planning to re-open. These guests will then use the OSV s for game watching. We would also expect Safari Lodge guests to use buses. The Safari Lodge will be able to cater for international guests/tour gros. We therefore expect the traffic impact for game viewing on the popular game viewing routes around the Skukuza Camp to be limited. 6. TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND BACKGROUND TRAFFIC GROWTH The expected Safari Lodge guests can use any entrance gate to Skukuza Camp. The most likely/popular gates to be used will be Paul Kruger Gate, Numbi Gate and Phabeni Gate. In order to test the effect of the proposed Safari Lodge on the respective existing road densities, the following scenarios were tested: Scenario 1: Scenario 2: Scenario 3: Scenario 4: All the Safari Lodge guests use the Numbi Gate All the Safari Lodge guests use the Phabeni Gate All the Safari Lodge guests use the Paul Kruger Gate The Safari Lodge guests use all three of the above mentioned gates in equal numbers 15 Skukuza PP2898

19 Density (vehicles/km) Density (vehicles/km) Density (vehicles/km) No background traffic growth needs to be applied because the Kruger Park limits the number of visitors to the park and no natural growth in numbers is allowed. Historic data also show no annual growth. The 212 gate entry data are used as a basis to measure the impact of the proposed increase in vehicles on the road network. 7. ANALYSIS 7.1 Average daily densities The 212 gate entry data are used as a basis to measure the impact of the proposed increase in vehicles on the road network. The 212 densities on the respective access roads together with the expected road densities for the different scenarios are depicted in the graphs below. NUMBI GATE ROAD DENSITIES /11/211 23/12/211 11/2/212 1/4/212 21/5/212 1/7/212 29/8/212 18/1/212 7/12/212 26/1/ Densities Scenario 1 Densities Scenario 4 Densities PHABENI GATE ROAD DENSITIES /11/211 23/12/211 11/2/212 1/4/212 21/5/212 1/7/212 29/8/212 18/1/212 7/12/212 26/1/ Densities Scenario 2 Densities Scenario 4 Densities KRUGER GATE ROAD DENSITIES /11/211 23/12/211 11/2/212 1/4/212 21/5/212 1/7/212 29/8/212 18/1/212 7/12/212 26/1/ Densities Scenario 3 Densities Scenario 4 Densities The respective average annual daily densities are presented in Table 9 below. 16 Skukuza PP2898

20 EXISTING AND EXPECTED AVERAGE ANNUAL DAILY DENSITIES (Vehicles/km) Numbi Gate Road - H1-1 (Counting St. 4) Phabeni Gate Road S1 (Counting St. 1) Paul Kruger Gate Road H11 (Counting St. 3) Table 9: Existing average annual daily road densities Existing 212 Scenario 1 Scenario Existing 212 Scenario 2 Scenario Existing 212 Scenario 3 Scenario For design Scenario 4 the average annual daily density on the section of road just before entering Skukuza, where the Paul Kruger Gate entries and the Phabeni Gate entries merge, will be at least 6,38 vehicles/km. The different scenarios will result in the following percentage increases on the respective roads: Numbi Gate: Scenario 1 will result in a 43% increase in traffic on Road H1-1 Scenario 4 will result in a 14% increase in traffic on Road H1-1 Phabeni Gate: Scenario 2 will result in a 37% increase in traffic on Road S1 Scenario 4 will result in an 11% increase in traffic on Road S1 Paul Kruger Gate: Scenario 3 will result in a 14% increase in traffic on Road H11 Scenario 4 will result in a 4,5% increase in traffic on Road H Peak hour densities The proposed Safari Lodge will have a limited impact on the peak hour densities. During the highest peak times when we expect the Safari Lodge to be utilised for normal accommodation, we expect the arrival pattern to the Safari Lodge to be similar to the existing arrival pattern of. As can be seen from the graphs presented in 4.7, the arrivals (gate entries) of do not correspond with the early morning peak hour which is mostly influenced by. 8. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The traffic impact of the proposed Safari Lodge will be within the threshold limits of the Kruger Park on Road H1-1 and Road S1. Road H11, the road between the Paul Kruger Gate and Skukuza, is already above the threshold value and the traffic impact of the proposed Safari Lodge will be less than a 14% (worst case scenario) increase in traffic volumes and more realistically an increase in the region of 4%. The operations of the Safari Lodge will specifically cater for the needs of conference delegates. There is also the possibility of selling specific conference packages. The selling of, specifically, the use of the conference facility with accommodation and transport will greatly assist in decreasing the number of vehicles on the roads. Such a package deal can include the collection of delegates at the gate and a game drive during the stay as well as dropping off at the gate after the stay. This will need the development of a park-and-ride facility at one of the gates. Because Road H11 is already over the threshold, such a facility should be at the Paul Kruger Gate. The operational cost of such a service will also be lower from the Paul Kruger Gate than any of the other gates. The comprehensive Traffic Assessment (1) done for the park in July 28 measured the congestion levels on different roads in the park. This study did not measure the congestion levels on the four routes closest to Skukuza Camp, namely: H11 between Skukuza and S1, H1-1 between Skukuza and H3, H1-2 and H4-1. We expect congestion levels to be already high on these routes. For most of these routes, alternatives are 17 Skukuza PP2898

21 available. The provision of an alternative route for Road H11 between Skukuza and Road S1 will assist in lowering congestion levels on this section and should be considered by the park authorities. The conference facility is already operational and because of the lack of sufficient accommodation within close proximity (walking distance), parking at the conference facility is a problem. Conference delegates currently travel from within the Skukuza Camp to the conference facility. This means the provision of double parking spaces; a parking space at the accommodation and a parking space at the conference facility. The location of the Safari Lodge next to the conference facility will assist with this. The Safari Lodge will not contribute significantly to current congestion levels on the roads in the park and can be sported from a traffic point of view. We recognise the fact that current congestion levels on roads close to Skukuza Camp are already higher than the threshold value of 3 vehicles/km. The following interventions should be considered to lower congestion levels on roads close to Skukuza Camp: Park-and-ride facility at Paul Kruger Gate. Reducing the number of at Paul Kruger Gate. The provision of an alternative route for Road H11 between Skukuza and Road S1. The selling of package deals for the conference facility with accommodation and transport. 9.
