Welcome to Villa Maji, a newly created guesthouse on the beach of Swakopmund, Namibia, Overlooking the Serengeti Plains 20 years ago, I had a dream of owning a small hotel in Africa. After managing hotels in Kenya, Arusha & Zanzibar, Tanzania and travelling throughout the African continent from Addis Ababa to Zimbabwe, Ghana, Togo & Morocco in between, I have finally fulfilled that dream in Swakopmund, Namibia. The journey took me from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, because I always longed for the sea. That is why I fell in love with Villa Maji’s location which offers stunning ocean views and hopefully… a little magic. Villa Maji's vision is to share our passion for Africa and exotic adventures throughout the continent with our guests. The name ‘Maji’ was chosen because it means ‘water’ in Swahili, Africa’s most precious resource, and reflects the stunning ocean view that the guesthouse has to offer.
