The all-suite Olive Exclusive provides a new world of possibilities for treating yourself to the very finest Windhoek has to offer. This progressive African city finally has the great boutique hotel it deserves. Exceeding expectations is a minimum standard at Naturally Namibia and you can start being seriously impressing from day one of your Namibian journey. Discover the Olive Exclusive here.

The vast NamibRand Reserve offers shelter for a diverse number of species and conserves their habitat from unmanaged human impact. The small team of conservationists that manage the reserve are also involved in various outreach projects that benefit communities across the region. One particular project has caught my attention for the entirely logical and simple solution it offers to an ongoing African problem. Electricity and bottled gas for cooking are both expensive and often in limited supply in rural Namibia. The simple solar oven is easy to use, hard to break and completely carbon free. The staff at NaDeet have been introducing this superb alternative to local communities who are spreading the word house by house. All the family needs is a decent supply of sun (not a big problem in Namibia) and to adapt their routine slightly. I'm please to say that Naturally Namibia's Etendeka Mountain Camp has relied heavily on solar ovens for years and it is great to see the technology being applied in the wider community. You can read more about the solar ovens and NamibRand here.
