The Minen Hotel, fondly known as the “Grand Old Lady” of Tsumeb, is a historic property with more than a century of tradition.

With its blend of heritage charm and modern amenities, the Minen Hotel provides both leisure and business travelers with a relaxing base from which to explore the cultural and natural highlights of the region.
Travellers spend the day exploring the world‑famous Etosha National Park, home to 114 animal species and 340 bird species. Every turn reveals something new — zebra, elephant, giraffe, oryx, springbok, kudu, and even the rarely seen black‑nosed impala. With luck, lions, leopards, cheetahs, or hyenas may be spotted in the early morning or late afternoon. The vast Etosha Pan shimmers golden in the sunlight or fills with thousands of birds after the rains. Roads lead to the best waterholes before the journey concludes at Andersson Gate at sunset.
