Introduction
Canyon Village at the foot of a sweeping granite rock face showcases all that this region of Namibia is famed for; The Fish River Canyon, Quiver trees, the surrounding desert landscapes and of course the local Nama culture.
It is from here as a base that one has the chance to explore and experience the nearby Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the World.
The perfect establishment for both guided and self-drive safaris options in Namibia.

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.
