C'est Si Bon Hotel

Otjiwarongo - Namibia

C'est Si Bon is situated in the the town of Otjiwarongo (or Otji to locals), which is often called the cheetah capital of the world, and this is likely to be true as Namibia is home to over a quarter of the world's cheetah population, and much of those live on farmland in this area. The town is also well situated for visitors to the north of Namibia, it is close to the Etosha Park & Waterberg and servers as a gateway to areas such as Damaraland and the Caprivi Strip.

The hotel was designed to have an intimate yet African feel to it and is set in large and beautiful gardens, which are frequently visited by several species of Namibian birds. Facilities include a swimming pool, bar, laundry & internet. C'est Si Bon Hotel is centrally located and is next door to the tennis courts, for those looking to work up a little extra sweat on their travels.

The a la carte restaurant has daily specials which often feature Namibian specialties, such as oryx or kudu. Meals (and don't worry they cater for vegetarians as well) can be enjoyed either in the restaurant or outside in the garden & lapa.

C'est Si Bon Hotel offers a choice of accommodation. Some of the rooms are more formal hotel style rooms while others are more relaxed and designed in the style of a Namibian lodge. All together there are 39 rooms comprising of doubles, singles and family rooms - the rooms are well spaced out to offer adequate privacy. All rooms include the following facilities: en-suite shower, air conditioner (warm & cold), satellite TV (DSTV, CNN), coffee-making facilities, direct dialing telephones.

While most people treat Otjiwarongo as a one night stop-over (or more frequently as a re-fueling point), C'est Si Bon Hotel might tempt you to stay longer. There is a reasonable amount to do in the area including the Cheetah Conservation Fund (only 45km away), the crocodile farm, a 1912 steam engine (for the railway enthusiasts) and of course the Waterberg Plateau
