Best hotels in Namibia

Along the edge of the mighty Zambezi River, lies the water sanctuary of Zambezi Mubala Lodge & Camp. Newly-built, modern, innovative and stylish, Mubala is a secret river hideaway where water laps the shores of the Zambezi, hippos laugh and the calls of fish eagles pierce the vast blue sky. A bird-lover’s dream, this lodge is home to one of the largest colonies of Carmine Bee-eaters that live along the banks of the Zambezi. Relax on your balcony or lie back on your king-size bed in your spacious cabin and absorb the peace of the river, as mekoro slice through the water, the muted sound of cow bells wafts through the air and the cool breeze dances on the river.

Perched along the banks where the Okavango River tumbles over ancient rock formations, this delightful hideaway offers front-row seats to one of Africa's most spectacular waterways. The lodge strikes just the right note between wild and wonderful - imagine sipping your morning coffee as an elephant breaks through the riverine forest, or watching the sky turn purple as fish eagles call their haunting duet. With two magnificent game parks on the doorstep and more activities than you can shake a fishing rod at, you might find yourself extending your stay... just to tick off that elusive Pel's fishing owl, of course.
