Independent travellers will find an abundance of comfortable accommodation options ranging from rest camps and country guest farms to a few safari lodges that compare favourably with the best found in Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia. 

Generally speaking, safari accommodations in Namibia aren't as sophisticated as those found elsewhere in southern Africa or in East Africa. In addition, the "full service" ethos has not yet been adopted even in some of the best lodges in the country - this has probably been as a result of influence from South Africa and fact that much of Namibia's traditional tourism has been derived from regional visitors and relatively undemanding colonial clientele.

Mobile safari accommodations in Namibia are of a high standard and make use of the best safari lodges and luxury tented camps - in the main centres of Windhoek and Swakopmund, hotels have been carefully selected for overnight stops where necessary.
