; 47 Son Rd; s/d incl breakfast N$490/620; )
This great little guesthouse styles itself as 'executive accommodation' by targeting the
business market, but with comfortable modern rooms and wi-fi connectivity throughout it
also makes an ideal pit stop for travellers. The seven rooms include a couple set up for
families and the kids will love the pool.
C'est Si Bon Hotel $$

;
Swembad Rd; s/d from N$570/670; )
Named after a common French expression that translates to 'it is so good', this charmer of
a hotel takes its moniker to heart, blending Namibian design with European flourishes.
After a few laps in the pool, a cappuccino on the sundeck and a glass of wine in the bar,
you'll probably agree that indeed,
c'est si bon.
HOTEL
Out of Africa Town Lodge $$
( 302230; Long St; s/d from N$570/670; )
This attractive whitewashed, colonial-
style lodge is a nice place to break up the drive to Etosha if you accidentally get a late
start. Lofty rooms retain their historical accents, though frequent renovations have kept
them in sync with the times.

service that departs Windhoek for Victoria Falls
passes through Otjiwarongo (from N$300, 3½ hours, twice weekly), and minibuses travel-
ling between Windhoek and the north stop at the Engen petrol station. All train services
between Tsumeb and Windhoek or Walvis Bay (via Swakopmund) also pass through.
OUTJO
067
Given the tourist traffic through this small town it has retained a surprisingly country,
low-key feel. Although it's primarily a stopover with few attractions, the eating and ac-
commodation options available make it a good place to chill out for a day or two on the
way to or from Etosha National Park. Outjo is the last major rest stop before reaching
Okaukuejo, the administrative headquarters of and western gateway to Etosha.
