Discover Namibia - Lodges

Throughout this adventure in Namibia, we mostly stay in two- and three-star lodges and occasionally in permanent tented camps. Most properties have swimming pools, so don’t forget your swimwear. Below are a few of the standout accommodations. Arebbusch Lodge Our guesthouse is only a 10-minute drive from the city centre yet is spacious with two swimming pools and one of the best pizzerias in the capital. It also has a beautiful garden enlivened with indigenous trees, which provide a habitat for a wealth of birdlife, including black-throated canaries, laughing doves and red-headed finches. Brandberg White Lady Lodge Our Brandberg stay is in the middle of nowhere. From the viewpoint, you will not see another property, just the ruggedly beautiful landscape of Damaraland and possibly some desert elephants in the distance. There’s a dining area, well-stocked bar, lounge, and two swimming pools. Camps in/near Etosha National Park In Etosha, some departures stay within the national park itself. The camps we use, either Okaukuejo or Namutoni, are government run and are more basic. Each has a restaurant, swimming pool and bar, but the highlights are the flood-lit waterholes where the wildlife regularly stops to drink. Other departures stay just outside the park in Etosha Safari Camp. This is a quirky property themed on a ‘shebeen’, a much-loved informal bar with local colour and bric-a-brac feel. Worth knowing Wifi is available in several properties but not everywhere, notably not in Sesriem or Etosha. Our rooms in Etosha are the only accommodation where mosquito nets are provided, as the park is in a low-risk malaria area. Additional game drives may be available at the Etosha sites, which can be booked on arrival for an extra cost.
