The Delight Swakopmund Photo Gallery
What a delight, what a difference for the norm, a hotel that is modern and bright with super friendly staff. To be honest, what more could one ask for from a four-star hotel that feels like a five-star hotel.

The rooms are large and colourful, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms offer showers, basins and toilets. A TV and coffee station is on offer should one just want to sit back and chill in comfort and privacy one's room.
The only aspect that we can see that travellers might not like is that the location is slightly (and only slightly) away from the main tourist streets and beachfront. But we are only talking a few minutes walk or a block or two; this did not phase us in the slightest as we walked and photographed the town as we walked.
When we stayed here, the breakfast was so good with so much on offer that we had a hard time trying to decide what to eat. The hotel had oysters and South African sparkling wine on offer; this is something that one does not get to see every day.
Swakopmund does offer numerous accommodation options, but we would suggest that "The Delight" be in your top three choices when looking for an establishment.
Can we recommend staying here when in Swakopmund? Oh Yes, we can. In a nutshell, the hotel offers luxury, modern facilities all at a very reasonable price point.
All photographs have been taken by us here at Uyaphi.com with the sole purpose of showcasing the hotel from our point of view.

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 country 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 Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions that this country as a safari destination has to offer.
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" which most safari itineraries would include. A different destination from most African safari destinations.
Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction being 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.
He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
