With a focus on birding and very little time planned for this overnight stop, the Omaruru Guesthouse was a good budget option.

The door with the lit windows is where the reception and restaurant is.  Unfortunately, they don’t have dinner service, only a breakfast buffet.  You have to go to one of the nearby hotels for a proper dinner.  In our case, we were still pretty full after a huge late lunch at the Wimpy’s (like a Denny’s or Coco’s-ish) in Outjo so we were satisfied with snacks and drinks.

There is an attractive pool area which we didn’t have time to use.

The rooms were very pleasant and the wifi was pretty good.

Omaruru is the one town we passed through that I would have liked to spend more time.  It’s quite an attractive little town and has nice cafes and gift shops and the birding in the surrounding area is excellent.  It’s unlikely that we would get enough miles to afford a return to Namibia but Omaruru would be at the top of the return visits!
