Where you stay shapes how you experience a place.
In Namibia, the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one often comes down to the places you choose — and how they connect.
Hideaways was founded on a simple idea: where you stay shapes how you experience a place.
We curate a collection of distinctive stays, from remote desert cabins to intimate lodges, each selected for its setting, character, and sense of escape.
Beyond accommodation, we design complete tailor-made journeys — seamless, personalised itineraries, self-drive or guided — crafted around your pace, with the right balance of structure and freedom. We also book other kinds of accommodation outside the collection when a journey calls for it.
Built on years of experience designing journeys across Namibia, Hideaways combines local knowledge with a clear, curated approach.
Behind every itinerary is a deep understanding of distances, rhythms, seasons, and what truly makes a journey flow.
The team
After traveling extensively and living in Africa for over 20 years, I founded HIDEAWAYS Namibia and ECOSAFARIS®, blending immersive travel experiences with a commitment to conservation. I believe the future of tourism lies in authentic nature encounters and responsible travel. As a passionate naturalist guide, I enjoy exploring Namibia’s diverse wildlife, from desert-adapted species to its rich birdlife and smaller wonders often overlooked. Above all, I am a proud father of two, sharing with them my lifelong passion for the outdoors, wildlife, and wild places.
Born and raised in Namibia, I have always been passionate about travel and adventure. After spending four years living, working, and exploring abroad, I gained a new appreciation for the beauty of my home country. Through my work, I now help travellers discover Namibia’s extraordinary landscapes and wildlife while promoting responsible and sustainable tourism. When I’m not planning unforgettable journeys, I’m enjoying life with my four beloved fur babies and looking forward to the exciting new chapter ahead with my fiancé.
I first arrived in Namibia in 2014, intending to stay just one year. Instead, I fell in love with its vast landscapes, remarkable people, and untamed spirit — and never truly left. Today, I help travellers discover the country through responsible, meaningful journeys focused on nature, disconnection, and authentic experiences. Driven by curiosity and a deep local knowledge, I share hidden gems beyond the usual routes. From planning and bookings to your personalised itinerary, I take care of every detail. Welcome to the Land of the Brave.
I am an Administration Manager, specialising in administration work, bookings, and customer service. Passionate about hospitality and organisation, I focus on creating seamless guest reservations while ensuring efficient day-to-day business management. My dream one day is to discover the entire Namibia from corner to corner and to embrace our beautiful country. I am a proud Namibian.

Three steps to a considered stay.
Curate
We visit every property in person, multiple times, in different seasons. Only the ones that meet the standard make the collection.
Design your journey
We plan the route around your pace and your interests. Distances, rhythms, transfers, dietary needs — all the friction handled before you arrive.
Arrive
We coordinate the operators, confirm the details, and stay reachable through your trip. The hosts know you're coming. The rooms are ready. You just experience it.
