Fodor's Expert Review Habitas Namibia

Windhoek, Khomas, Namibia Fodor's Choice

Constructed from natural materials in a low-impact manner (including being completely solar powered), this luxe tented camp seamlessly blends into its surroundings atop a rocky outcrop that's reminiscent of the Masai Mara all while offering guests every creature comfort. This is the closest you'll get to a safari just 45 minutes from the international airport. Sustainability and conservation are at the heart of this 123,552-acre nature reserve, which also prioritizes health and wellbeing through its retreats, and spa and wellness offerings. Habitas is the epitome of Namibia hospitality and five-star service, from the thoughtful lodge playlist you receive upon reservation to the genuine welcome at your "homecoming" ceremony, and everything else in between—we're warning you, you won’t want to leave. 

PROS

  • Unsurpassable service—the staff clearly love what they do
  • Delectable food that incorporates Namibia flavors and culinary heritage
  • Spectacular sunsets and panoramic views of the savannah

CONS

  • No Wi-Fi in the luxe tents (but we argue that’s a good thing)
  • A safari from the entrance gate to the lodge is part of the journey
  • An hour from Windhoek or 30 minutes from the airport, but most certainly worth the drive
