Namibia Wildlife Resorts' campsites at Mile 108 and Torra Bay are ready to welcome an influx of visitors during the holiday season.

With special tailor-made packages on offer, the NWR has urged Namibians to visit and enjoy activities at the campsites in the Skeleton Coast National Park.

Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) has several accommodation establishments in the national park.

Mile 108, just a short drive north of Cape Cross and Henties Bay, is one of the campsites ready to lodge hundreds of visitors.

The area is a favorite for many South African tourists who have a keen interest in fishing.

But, lately, Namibians from the coast have also been taking regular trips to Mile 108.

One of them, Alouis Sabatha, has encouraged Namibians to visit the area. "I want to urge all Namibians, from north to south, east to west—this is not just a hobby for the elite; it can also be a part of us. Instead of just being at bars and shebeens, you can kill two birds with one stone. Come and enjoy in the meantime, you get your fish, take it home."

NWR's Torra Bay, about 240 kilometers north of Henties Bay, is also ready for the influx of holidaymakers, said Nelson Ashipala, NWR Manager for Corporate Communications.

"On a casual day, there is no network here, we have to ensure that a service provider is on-site to offer that, to offer Wi-Fi, to offer a network. Our ablution facilities have to be serviced, and most importantly, if there are any changes or trends that come out, we have to ensure that the trends are being met. If, for example, we are using the bucket toilet, what are the new trends saying? Are we able to meet those trends?"

The campsite is a special place for many foreign tourists and a few locals who come every year and have a passion for fishing.

The campers have urged locals who are interested to bring their fishing and camping equipment, as well as firewood because fish braais take place on a daily basis here.
