Accommodation in Namibia and Botswana

Where will you stay in Namibia & Botswana?

We specialise in carefully sourced, small-scale accommodations rich in local character— steering clear of large chain hotels in favour of warmth and personality. While exploring Namibia and Botswana, you can enjoy a variety of unique lodging options that will enhance your experience in this remarkable country. Choose from charming guesthouses, cosy lodges, or even safari tents, each providing a distinctive touch to your adventure.

How it works

We work with a range of properties in each location, each personally checked by us and chosen for its comfort, character, location, and amenities. This gives us the flexibility to find the perfect spot, improves availability during busy times, and allows us to offer upgrades or customise your experience to fit your preferences. As hotels in Namibia and Botswana don’t always fit European star ratings, we’ve created our own categories so you know what you can expect from your trip.

Standard accommodation

Most of our accommodation in Namibia and Botswana falls into our standard category. Our carefully selected standard options offer the charm and warm hospitality the country is known for, all in great locations. We prioritise comfort and character over star ratings, so while these places are typically rated 3 stars, some might even be 4 stars.

In this category, you can look forward to added perks like a personalised service, or upgraded amenities. We offer upgrades in many of our destinations, so just let your Travel Specialist know if you’d like this level of accommodation during your trip to Namibia and Botswana.

Camping

For a real adventure and a chance to fully immerse yourself in the extraordinary natural landscapes of Namibia, why not try roof-top camping, where you’ll drive around in your very own 4×4 equipped with a tent on the roof? We can arrange the campsites for you in advance, varying from idyllic riverbank spots to staying within National Parks and wildlife reserves, falling asleep to distant sounds of lions roaring. The campsites are all well maintained and feature shared facilities, with many providing a braai area for preparing your meals.
