Hotels in Namibia
Hotels:
Namibia's hotels can be of good quality, some with conference facilities, in Windhoek, Swakopmund and thinly scattered throughout the country. As accommodation is limited and demand in the most popular areas is high, visitors are advised to book hotels in Namibia well in advance. Campers can generally just turn up and find a pitch, although bookings are essential in Etosha National Park (and a Plan B is always wise).
Grading: Hotels are graded on a scale of 1 to 5 stars.
Camping:
Namibia is often referred to as a camper’s dream, and there are well-equipped campsites in several of the national parks, notably Etosha. There is also camping at Ai-Ais, a hot spring area at the southern tip of the Fish River Canyon, Orange River just north of the border with South Africa, Hardap Dam in the south, Popa Falls in Kavango, and the Namib-Naukluft Park. Facilities usually include camping stores, individual braai pits (Namibian BBQ), and shower blocks.
Other accommodation:
In the Etosha National Park and other game reserves, there are rustic rest camps and luxury lodges with comfortable accommodation in cabins or ensuite safari tents. Luxury lodges typically include game drives, meals and other activities in their rates (extra beverages not included). Games lodges tend to fill up quick, so it’s best to book early. Reservations for the national parks can be made directly with Namibia Wildlife Resorts Ltd.
Visitors can get a unique glimpse of life on a working farm by staying at one of the many guest farms with accommodation. Some even have comforts such as swimming pools and offer excursions including game drives and day hikes. Many rural family run farms also offer camping pitches to travellers.
