Best Baths In Namibia
A selection of our favourite lodges and camps that offer up something very special when it comes to bathtubs, in other words, bathtubs with the best views in the whole of Namibia. Bathtubs that are on most occasions situated outside (or next to large windows) that offer up spectacular views of either the Namib Desert, Damaraland, the bushveld surrounding Etosha and even Namibia's Kalahari Desert.
All options are positioned in areas around one's suite that offer the utmost in privacy as to where the bath is located (whether it be indoors or outdoors).
After a hard day out exploring everything that Namibia has to offer, sit back and relax in a bubble bath with a glass of champagne, wine or beer as one looks out over the vastness and beauty that surrounds one.
Honestly, there is nothing quite like spoiling oneself when on safari in Africa, and by booking a Namibia lodge that offers a spectacular bathtub is that cheery on top, it just rounds off one's day.
