Namibia Wildlife Resorts

State Owned Enterprise – sole shareholder is the Government of the Republic of Namibia

Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) is a state-owned enterprise mandated to manage tourism accommodation and facilities inside Namibia’s national parks and protected areas. As the country’s largest tourism accommodation provider within conservation areas, NWR operates lodges, rest camps, and campsites in iconic destinations such as Etosha National Park, the Namib Desert, Fish River Canyon, and the Skeleton Coast.

NWR offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit different budgets and travel styles. These are grouped into collections, including the Classic Collection (traditional rest camps), the Eco Collection (more luxurious and environmentally focused lodges), and other adventure-style options. Properties range from basic campsites to upmarket lodges with modern amenities.

The company plays a vital role in making Namibia’s protected areas accessible to both domestic and international visitors. By operating facilities inside national parks, NWR enables guests to experience world-class wildlife viewing, dramatic landscapes, and unique natural attractions with the convenience of on-site accommodation.

NWR is committed to sustainable tourism and environmental stewardship. As a state-owned entity, it balances commercial operations with conservation goals and contributes to the protection of Namibia’s biodiversity while generating revenue that supports the broader tourism economy and local communities.

In addition to accommodation, NWR provides activities and services at many of its properties, including guided game drives, hiking, swimming, and cultural experiences. The company also runs special rates and packages aimed at encouraging domestic tourism and regional (SADC) travel.

NWR operates under the oversight of the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism. With properties spread across Namibia’s most spectacular conservation areas, it remains the primary provider of tourism infrastructure inside the country’s national parks, making it an essential part of Namibia’s tourism offering.
