Namibia Lodges
With its unique geography and geology, Namibia offers the traveller a wide range of activities, this is reflected in an eclectic choice of Namibia accommodation, hotels, lodges, and camps. The Uyaphi team has selected a portfolio of properties that represent the best quality of their type within their geographic areas. One point which is common to all these establishments is the overwhelming hospitality with which you will be greeted.
The genuine warmth and curiosity by the local people will enhance your holiday and guarantee your return.
Typically, the best months for travel in Namibia are during the winter months from May to November which is also the prime safari season; the summertime can be too hot for most (although pricing is cheaper during summer).
Our African safari specialist will be able to guide you and arrange for you a bespoke itinerary incorporating many of the stunning Namibia lodges and accommodation we offer, from the Etosha National Park and Damaraland in the north, through the main towns of Windhoek and Swakopmund to Sossusvlei and the Fish River Canyon in the south.
Lodges In Namibia
Namib Desert Lodges
Together with its vast open areas, imposing dunes and salt pans, the Namib Naukluft Park is ranked the fourth most significant conservation region on earth. The famous Sossusvlei dunes at over three hundred meters are the highest on earth. You will find three primary sightseeing attractions in the area: Sossusvlei, Sesriem, and Naukluft.Etosha Park Lodges
Etosha which means 'great white place' is dominated by an enormous, glistening white salt pan surrounded by grasslands and bushveld. Etosha National Park is Namibia's main wildlife sanctuaries as well as one of southern Africa's very best and most environmentally valuable game parks. We offer lodges inside and outside of the park.Damaraland Lodges
Damaraland is recognized as being one of Africa's last true remaining wildernesses as well as being one of the most picturesque safari destinations. The main attractions are the Spitzkoppe and Brandberg, the rock art, and the fascinating organ pipes and petrified forest at Twyfelfontein as well as the fabulous scenic vistas and free roaming wildlife.Fish River Canyon Lodges
The Fish River Canyon is spectacular and awe-inspiring in its size. The second-biggest canyon in the world created by the eponymous river coursing through a desert ecosystem over millions of years; the scenery is desolate, dusty and rocky with deep chasms. A must visit destination when in or a round the Southern section of this amazing country.Zambezi Region Lodges
The "Zambezi Region" formerly known as the "Caprivi Strip" is a lush green area in the far north of the country that is host to wildlife, birdlife and fishing. Interestingly, this 450² kilometre stretch of land borders four countries; Angola, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe while also giving rise to the Zambezi River and the Chobe River.Namibia Kalahari Lodges
The Kalahari Desert with her red dunes, wildlife and birdlife, dried out waterways and the indigenous San Bushmen who have lived here for over 20 000 years is perfect stopover when travelling between Windhoek, The Fish River Canyon and Luderitz with scenic desert landscapes, desert wildlife, game drives and of course a good selection of lodges from which to choose.Swakopmund Hotels
After the culture shock of being in a German town transplanted 8000 kilometers to African coastal sunshine, you will find yourself in Namibia’s second-largest town, and it’s leading holiday destination. The attractive heritage buildings add character and incorporate many restaurants, pubs, and clubs which enable you to escape the desert heat.Windhoek Hotels
Windhoek's appeal is partly based on the mixture of African and European cultures and the friendliness of her people. Namibia’s capital city is a city of vibrant contrasts surrounded by the beautiful Auas, Eros and Khomas Hochland mountains.
The Road To Sossusvlei
Once one navigates the main Sesriem entrance gates and enters the national park a pleasant surprise awaits, a tarred road (yes, a tarred road) that extends all the way through to the main parking area near Sossusvlei.Cape Town To The Kunene River
In November and December of last year (2019), we loaded our Jeep and headed north out of Cape Town, destination Namibia and the Kunene River, her border with Angola. A couple of thousand kilometres later, we returned, this time, more in love with Namibia than ever.Windhoek Oktoberfest 2021
On the 25th and 26th of October, the Sports Klub Windhoek will host the 55th edition of the Oktoberfest. Over 5000 people are expected to attend (compared to 1000 in 2010). Adding a certain local flavour will be the Namibian band Famaz Attak, and there will be long-established activities and games like archery and tree trunk sawing.Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek
Continuing our series of dining in Africa, we look at the Namibian capital, Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions of Namibia as a safari destination. Nowhere is too far to travel in this small (and clean) city of 330,000 but be warned when you go out to eat, vegetarianism is not common!Best Places To Go In Namibia
The Uyaphi team has compiled a list of the "Best Places to go in Namibia" which most safari itineraries would include. Namibia is different from most African safari destinations. Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction of Namibia is vast, open deserts interspersed with canyons, mountain ranges, and oasis.Living With The Himba
In May 2012, we arranged for Uyaphi.Com client Ken Vine from Devon in England to stay with the traditional Himba people in two remote villages in the middle of Kaokoland, Namibia. He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
