Our Habitas Namibia

Our Habitas Namibia

10/10 Excellent
"Our Habitas is nestled on the top of a mountain and it boasts 360 views. The Savannah rooms are breezy and beautiful. The staff truly makes you feel at home. The food was delicious and the safari drives were fabulous. My only suggestion is that you stay for more than 1 night."

10/10 Excellent
"We were there in February (Namibian summer) so it was hot in the tent during the day, and the huge water-filled cooling thingy (don't know what it's called) didn't help at all, if anything it made the tent hotter not to mention the noise it made. We decided to just open the windows and through in the warm breeze. It was better once the sun had gone down. Otherwise it was a great stay. Staff were nice and friendly and we enjoyed the sundowner game drive."

"Subtle, modest, room and facilities located in the beautiful valley between two red dunes. Very clean - room and the surrounding. Crispy white linen with a nice embroidered with two deer. We really relaxed the stay of two nights. The morning San walk was great and included in the room price. "
