Roys Rest Camp north of Grootfontein
Roys Rest Camp is a family-run stopover on a large farm north of Grootfontein. The camp is known for its handmade details, colourful recycled décor and relaxed garden setting. It offers a practical overnight break for self-drive travellers heading between central Namibia and the Kavango or Zambezi regions.
The atmosphere is informal and personal, with indigenous bush around the guest areas and plenty of shade. Travellers planning a broader route can find general destination information through the Namibia Tourism Board. Roy’s Rest Camp also works for guests who want a slower farm stay rather than only a roadside stop.
