Usakos and around

Fully booked? Here is where we send people.

Usakos is a small town and the beds in it are few. On long weekends, mine shift changes and Spitzkoppe season, every room in the district goes. If we are full for your dates, these are the places we genuinely send people: the old hotel in town, a few simple self-catering spots, and farms and lodges within half an hour of our gate.

Two things before you book elsewhere. First, ask us anyway: cancellations happen, and a WhatsApp costs nothing. Second, wherever you land, book ahead, and keep our number for the next time through.
