Owned by a Namibian company, De Beers, Omashare is in the very centre of town, around where the old Kavango Motel used to be. Its rooms are laid out in a semi-circle, overlooking the Okavango and Angola beyond.

Inside the main building is a large 'ladies' bar, carpeted lounges, soft chairs, and a conference room; everything that you'd expect from a hotel catering to business people. Outside there's a large pool with little shade. A few big trees would make a great difference.

The rooms are small but comfortable, and all have direct-dial phones, tea/coffee makers, flasks with water, en-suite shower and toilets, and Mnet TV. Some have AC, others fans.
