There’s something magical about waking up on safari — the hush of the early desert morning, the cool air before the sun rises in full African splendour, and that undeniable craving for one thing: a proper cup of coffee.
You’ve been winding through wild landscapes, spotting elephants, chasing sunsets, and now you’ve crossed into Namibia, landed in the quiet desert town of Uis, and suddenly… you realise — not all overnight stops are created equal.
At Green Elephant Cottages, we understand this moment.
We know the thirst.
We know that when you’re this far off the beaten path, the difference between a good day and a great one might just be the first sip of rich, self-brewed coffee.
Here, coffee isn’t optional. It’s complimentary. It’s essential.
We stock each cottage with everything you need to brew a full-bodied, satisfying cup right where you’re staying — because the nearest café is miles away, and instant sachets just won’t cut it when you’re adventuring through Africa.
So if your journey brings you to Uis, make sure you’re waking up at Green Elephant.
Anything less, and the coffee craving might just finish you off before the elephants do.
