The hospitality sector had a strong performance in June with national room occupancy reaching 58.54% surpassing the 2019 pre-pandemic benchmark of 51.2% by 7.3 percentage points and well above the 47.8% recorded in June 2025 according to the latest data from Hospitality Association of Namibia.
June marks the first full month of the prime safari window, as game concentrations peak around Etosha’s waterholes and European travellers converge on southern Africa during their summer holidays.
“The result confirms that structural demand from international leisure visitors continues to deepen, building on second quarter (Q2) 2026’s record quarterly performance of 57.14% national occupancy itself more than 3 percentage points above Q2 2019 levels,” Simonis Storm said.
