Top 5 Reasons to Choose Self-Catering Accommodation in Uis, Namibia
When planning your trip to Uis, a charming desert village in the heart of Namibia’s Erongo Region, one of the most important choices you’ll make is where to stay. While there are various options, self-catering accommodation is fast becoming the preferred choice for savvy travellers.
Whether you’re an adventurer, a nature lover, or simply someone looking to relax in the desert, here are the top five reasons to choose self-catering accommodation in Uis—with Green Elephant Cottages leading the way.
1. Total Freedom and Flexibility
Self-catering gives you full control over your schedule. No need to rush for breakfast or fit your plans around fixed meal times. Want to hike at sunrise and eat brunch at 11? No problem. Prefer a late-night stargazing session followed by a midnight snack? Go for it.
At Green Elephant Cottages, our fully equipped kitchens let you prepare meals when it suits you, allowing you to explore the desert on your own time.
2. Cost-Effective for Families and Groups
Travelling with a group or family? Dining out for every meal adds up quickly. With self-catering, you can cook together, share costs, and make the most of your travel budget.
Green Elephant’s cottages are ideal for families and small groups. Stock up on fresh produce in town, prepare hearty meals, and enjoy them in your own private space—indoors or under the stars.
3. Live Like a Local
Self-catering isn’t just about saving money—it’s about experiencing Uis like a local. Shop at community markets, try regional ingredients, and enjoy your meals with local flavours.
Staying at Green Elephant connects you with the rhythm of desert life. Explore the village, chat with local vendors, and experience Namibian culture up close.
