NWR upgrades Mile 108 ahead of fishing season

Upgrades and renovations undergone at Mile 108 and Sossus Dune Lodge cost Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) a total of N$3.5 million.

NWR has added six new ablution blocks at Mile 108, just in time for the fishing season to start.

Spokesperson of NWR, Nelson Ashipala, said they had to upgrade the fishermen’s cabins at Mile 108 as well because environmental elements around the coastal area pose a challenge.

Ashipala said they had renovated several fishermen’s cabins and built six ablution facilities.

He said these upgrades will ensure that visitors will have access to upgraded and renovated facilities.

The cost of these upgrades amounted to around N$2.3 million, with the remaining money allocated for upgrades at Sossus Dune Lodge.

A new deck was also installed at the Sossus Dune Lodge swimming pool. The lodge is situated in another area where weather impacts wooden infrastructure.

Environmentally friendly material was used to refurbish the decks. Furthermore, the balustrades at the lodge were also completed.

Maintenance has been a longstanding priority, Ashipala said, and the organisation hopes that the touched-up facilities will be enjoyed by Namibians.
