The best hotels Namibia

The 45 000 ha of the Etendeka concession, to the east of the C 43, welcomes a maximum of 16 people in its camp of luxurious tents (2 very comfortable beds, a solar electric lamp, bowls and pitchers as sinks, terrace for sight…). We wash in hot water by filling and suspending a bucket of water using a pulley in a private shower corner. Solar panels save the noise of the generator, and one wakes up to the song of Bokie, the backbakiri gladiator (bokmakierie) who appears to have elected home in Etendeka. Here we come first to observe wildlife, and it is on this point that Dennis Liebenberg has placed the accent after more than 12 years in the service of ecotourism. By creating Etendeka, Dennis is committed not only to protecting the fragile ecosystem of the region, but also to supporting local communities involved in the project and benefiting from tourism revenues. The guided steps allow to observe mammals such as zebras mountains, oryx, springbok and, for the most fortunate, desert elephants and black rhino, but also to immerse ourselves from the mysterious atmosphere of the Damaraland and to open our eyes to the wonders of the flora of this arid biome. Activities: Game drives, stairs, astronomical observation.

The only superior hotel in Oshakati, which therefore attracts tourists as well as businessmen travelling in the region. The hotel offers 45 rooms equipped with bathrooms. A beautiful green garden can forget for a moment the tumultuous chaos of the city. There is also a swimming pool, a restaurant and a bar.

This large hotel has 90 rooms all with air conditioning, in an impeccable comfort, but without a real atmosphere. In the garden you can refresh yourself with a head in the swimming pool, in the evening you can sit in the bar after dinner in the restaurant.

This charming hotel, which does not hide the Swiss origins of its owner, offers 9 beautiful rooms with views of the garden. The hotel has a reputation for excellent dining, with a solid wine card.

Christine and Jean-Paul, two French who have the taste of adventure, have elected to Okahandja, a few metres from the handicraft market. At the entrance of their Bed & Breakfast, it is a wooden warthog that welcomes you; in the living room an elephant sculpture draws his trompe towards the ceiling. Crossing the Omulonga hostel is a good initiation for visitors interested in African wood sculptures. If you wish, Christine and Jean-Paul will give you the best pipes to get them. Do not hesitate to take a step at home if you are going to Okahandja, you will receive a warm welcome. You can then sample Christine's specialities and listen to the advice of Jean Paul, an independent guide. 

Located in the heart of the city, this hotel occupies the first floor of the Gustav Voigts shopping centre, opposite the bus terminal and the tourist information centre. Its 167 rooms and 6 suites are standardized and equipped as it should be (air conditioning, double beds, shower and bathtub, minibar, cable TV). Meals can be served in the terrace on the roof of the hotel or in your room, upon request. There is also a casino, a swimming pool (on the roof), a sauna, a gym.

Etosha King Nehale is located on the Andoni plains, 1 km from the King Nehale gate in Etosha National Park. The lodge is shaped like the head of a nguni cattle, with chalets surprisingly spread out to the north and south, from the central area like the horns of a bull. From the moment you enter the reception, curio store, boma and dining rooms, the oshiwambo ethos is intriguingly evident in the colors, fabrics, cutlery, chandelier, table engravings with punchy proverbs and other embellishments.

The cottages are spacious and elegantly decorated with a touch of oshiwambo cultural ornaments, and each has its own swimming pool, allowing guests to gaze at the boundless horizons of the Andoni plains - ideal for a king and queen. The 40-room lodge pays tribute to the region's rich cultural heritage.

One detail that sets this lodge apart from all others is its private access to a secluded waterhole, Ontalelo Outpost, located in Etosha National Park. This waterhole is reserved for Etosha King Nehale guests, allowing them to immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature and observe the rich diversity of the animal world in this corner of paradise.

To the north, the reserve is surrounded by the bustling communal areas of Oshikoto, Oshana, Ohangwena and Omusati. This new Gondwana lodge offers guests the chance to combine Etosha's natural wonders with the cultural dynamism of the Aawambo people.

Enjoy the pleasures of city life and the serene, stylish atmosphere of Africa with the Weinberg in Windhoek. Its iconic style harmoniously blends Old World splendor with modern lines and state-of-the-art technology.

The hotel's elegant architecture wraps around a heritage building, which forms the heart of the Am Weinberg estate. It also offers restaurants in a variety of culinary styles and the attractive Life Day Spa.

Spend the day exploring Windhoek. Visit Christuskirche, the National Museum and Alte Feste, or take the opportunity to shop in one of the modern shopping centers. Don't forget to try a typical Namibian dish, such as kapana or biltong, before returning to your second estate at the end of an exciting day.

Admire the sunset with a panoramic view of the surrounding valley. The Weinberg (German for vineyard) lives up to its name, inviting you to choose your favorite wine from an extensive wine list while enjoying the hotel's sophisticated atmosphere.
