Nestled between the South Atlantic and the Kalahari, Namibia is one of Africa's youngest and most dynamic countries. A dream for photographers, explorers, and adventurers, the country is strikingly diverse and loaded with stunning wildlife, wild seascapes, colonial cities, rugged mountains, and vast deserts.

In the northwest, Namibia hotels offer access to the Skeleton Coast, an eerie desert coastline marked by icy breakers. Long stretches of foggy beach are dotted with wandering dunes and rusting shipwrecks, but the fog dissipates inland to reveal the remarkable wildernesses of the Kaokoveld and Damaraland.

Make reservations for rooms in hotels in Namibia in the west to explore the desolate and barren landscapes of the Namib Desert and the city of Swakopmund, home to some of the top sights in the country. Spend an afternoon exploring the Swakopmund Museum, learning about the country's ethnology and history through well-curated displays, then visit the Woermannhaus national monument.

Some of the best cheap hotel deals in Namibia are in Windhoek, the country's German-influenced capital in the central highlands. Book rooms at special discount rates in the city, and then spend your time exploring the bustling markets, elegant government buildings, and the National Museum of Namibia, which highlights an interesting collection of photos and memorabilia from the colonial period.

Just outside of the capital is the Daan Viljoen Game Park. The lack of seriously dangerous animals in the park means that visitors can hike through the wildlife-rich desert without fear. While hiking, be on the lookout for springboks, mountain zebras, gemsboks, warthogs, and elands, but don't forget to glance up occasionally. The skies above the park are filled with rare species of birds, including the elusive pin-tailed whydah.

Find Namibia hotel deals near Etosha National Park to explore one of the country's greatest gems. The 20,000-square kilometre park is home to over 340 species of bird, 114 mammal species, and 16 types of amphibians and reptiles. Many Namibia hotel packages offer special prices on tours of the park, and visitors can spot an incredible array of wildlife, including black-faced impalas, white and black rhinos, elephants, zebras, giraffes, elands, and wildebeests.

When to Go

If wildlife viewing is your main goal when visiting Namibia, plan your trip for May through October. Many animals congregate around water sources during that dry season, creating many opportunities for sightings in the game reserves and parks. If you love bird watching, book a cheap Namibia hotel deal during the summer when many of the bird species are most active.
