Namibia Family Friendly Lodges

Namibia Family Friendly Lodges

Namibia is one of Africa's top family-friendly, and child-friendly safari destinations with excellent road infrastructure, one of the safest countries in Africa, malaria is limited to the Northern regions and of course a selection of lodges, camps and hotels that offer family accommodation and activities for kids of all ages.

Namibia is the perfect country to introduce the family to Africa, her wildlife, cultures, history and scenery be it on a self-drive, guided or fly-in safari.

As a general rule of thumb, children are only permitted on game drives if they are over the ages of 6 or 8 years old. This is for the safety and the comfort of other guests on the game drive; this rule does not only apply to Namibia but South Africa, Botswana and all African countries. Young children do not have the ability to sit still for more than 10 - 15 minutes never mind 3 - 4 hours.

Below is our selection of what we regard as the best family-friendly lodges in Namibia.

    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.
