If you’ve never been to Namibia, the Olive Exclusive All-suite Hotel is a good option for your first night’s stay as it introduces you to the incredible cultures and landscapes of this surprisingly diverse country. The suites and common areas are all tastefully decorated to reflect iconic places and their traditional inhabitants like Kunene, Erongo, Etosha and Caprivi, giving you a taste of your forthcoming safari.

Another captivating aspect is the panoramic views of the undulating olive groves below and far-off mountains while its location is urban rather than rural. The restaurant echoes the subtle colours and natural materials of the rest of the hotel. There is also a self-catering unit with a kitchen if you are travelling with young children.
