Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) has announced a 50 per cent discount for all frontline officers in Namibia and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) who acquire or renew a Namleisure card.

Each frontline officer who renews or obtains a Namleisure card will also be automatically entered into a competition to win a two-night stay for two people at any NWR resort on a bed and breakfast basis.

NWR Managing Director, Matthias Ngwangwama, in a media statement on Monday said frontline officers such as health professionals, police officers and military personnel have been at the forefront of assisting in the management of the impact of Covid-19, despite the fact that the high demand for their work has prevented some of them from taking a vacation.

Frontline officers qualify for the 50 per cent discount until mid-October 2021.

With the Namleisure card, they qualify for a cheaper rate off current specials on accommodation and a 25 per cent discount on activities and meals at any NWR resort for a year.

“To qualify for the discount, they need to provide proof of their frontline status during the application period. The other special, which is in honour of them, will allow Namibians and SADC residents an opportunity to book at any of our Eco resorts (Dolomite, Onkoshi and Sossus Dune Lodge) for two nights and get the third night for free,” Ngwangwama said.

He noted that NWR hopes the special offers will make the frontline officers feel appreciated.

“Every frontline officer is worthy of being honoured and celebrated for the unmeasurable sacrifices they have been making and continue to make. We thus hope that this gesture from us can accord all our frontline officers in Namibia and SADC an opportunity to rest and recuperate when time allows as they have surely sacrificed a lot for all of us,” Ngwangwama concluded.
