Namibia Kalahari Lodges
The Kalahari basin stretches across Namibia (south-east), South Africa (north-west) and Botswana (most), covering a total area of 2.5 million km2.
When one thinks of deserts in Namibia, the Namib Desert would be the first to spring to mind with most people forgetting that 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 even exists.
The Kalahari region makes for that 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 Namibia lodges from which to choose.
Just as a quick side note; summertime temperatures can quickly climb to 40º Celsius and above while in winter nighttime temperatures can fall below zero. One needs to pack accordingly.

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.
