Kalahari Farmhouse Gallery
The perfect stopover for those travelling from Windhoek to the south of Namibia, in particular, the Fish River Canyon.
Rooms are spacious and clean, good breakfast and dinner are available and the beer is cold. A swimming pool is on hand for those hot summer days. A must visit is the working farm on the property.
Can we recommend a stay at Kalahari Farmhouse? Well, Yes. If you are travelling in this part of the Kalahari Desert, then we can highly recommend a night here, more than one night on the other hand and one would run out of things to do. More than two nights in the area then we would suggest you look at Kalahari Anib Lodge, as there are more activities on offer here.
More information can be found here: Kalahari Farmhouse
All photographs have been taken by us here at Uyaphi.com with the sole purpose of showcasing the lodge and reserve 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.

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.
