Namibia Budget Travel

First off, we have to put this on the table; there is a huge difference between budget lodges and cheap lodges; our collection of Namibia lodges, camps and hotels below are budget options in which one (no matter the price) feels like they are getting their money worth and more.

Cheap is nasty; we at Uyaphi.com do not sell or even promote cheap establishments, never have, never will.

All of the lodges and camps below are best suited for those who want to travel and explore Namibia by way of a self-drive safari option without compromising on the quality of accommodation at the end of any given day. As one will notice, we offer accommodation options throughout most areas within Namibia, therefore offering future guest the option to tailor-make the very best safari itinerary that their budget will allow.

We at Uyaphi.com have stayed or visited most of the properties listed below and can highly recommend any of them.

Just on a quick side note, most (if not all) of the establishments below are child and family-friendly.
