We offer a booking service for most accommodation establishments in Namibia. On this page we have included a few of our favourite accommodation establishments in central Namibia. The list is by no means complete and if you would like to book an accommodation establishment that does not appear or need further guidance in choosing the right lodge please email us.

The majority of our clients use our full range of Namibia car rental, itinerary planning and accommodation bookings when planning their self-drive safari in Namibia. The easiest way to do this is to send us an email with a brief outline of what you would like to see, date of travel, accommodation requirements (camping, budget accommodation, luxurious or a mixture) and any other information and we'll send you a custom made itinerary.
