Magic. I'm from London, UK and was DELIGHTED to spend an entire month living here - as a digital nomad - in my safe, cosy, private, glamping tent under the canopied shade of a sprawling camelthorn tree. FREE WiFi, access to a huge swimming pool, FREE breakfast (poolside at Roosters - across the road), wonderful staff (I love you Mercia!), access to an enormous kitchen, laundry facilities in site, private bathroom (no sharing), 5mins walk from a huge supermarket (and other shops, cafés and restaurants), FREE parking and live music across the road at Utopia on the weekends. The absolute bonus for me was daily bootcamp classes at 6:30pm (behind Roosters) and twice-daily yoga classes 15 minutes walk away with Suzi Seha (https://www.suziseha.com/). Bliss. Great value for money at 380NAD per night. My very own secret slice of Namibian paradise!

    Chameleon Backpackers & Guesthouse is a great hostel for those looking to stay close to Windhoek's city centre. The room was spacious and comfortable for my friend and I. The common area, pool, and kitchen was clean and inviting. Staff were friendly and helpful. The airport shuttle arrived on time and brought us safety to the hotel.

    The hostel is in a good location which is a walking distance to the city center, it's inexpensive and ideal for low budget travelers, the staff are friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was delicious and the beds were comfortable. The chirping birds makes the place feels like an urban jungle. The kitchen is handy and it allows guests to connect while preparing their meals. I will always lodge at Chameleon Backpackers for as long as I will be in Windhoek. 😊❤️
