Okaukuejo rakes in revenue

Okaukuejo rakes in revenue Reports amount of N$ 100 million Okaukuejo rest camp in Etosha National Park has shown an improvement of 16% compared to the previous financial year. In what can be described as a major milestone in the life of the biggest and oldest resort within the Etosha National Park, Namibia Wildlife Resorts's (NWR) Okaukuejo generated a revenue of N$100 million during the financial year, 1 November 2015 to 31 October 2016 which translated to an overall revenue increase of 16% compared to the previous financial year.

According to NWR this milestone can confidently be credited to the popularity of the resort, which has an annual average occupancy of over 80%.

One of its drawcards is the large, floodlit waterhole, which receives exceedingly regular visits from a wide diversity of wildlife.

This includes herds of antelopes, family groups of elephant, some black rhinos, as well as lions.

“Reaching such a milestone cannot be attributed to her team only. The different reservation offices tremendously contributed to this achievement and should be congratulated as well,” said Okaukuejo's resort manager Katriena Hoeses.

During the certificate handover at the resort, NWR's managing director Zelna Hengari, could not hide her joy at Okaukuejo's latest achievement. She pointed out that such an achievement would serve as encouragement to other NWR camps and resorts.

She concluded by saying, “As the year draws to an end, each one of us has a reason to celebrate due to this major milestone. That's why, as we celebrate, we should plan for the future so that we can work to achieve more.”
