There is possibly the most important thing anyone has said in this thread.

As Johan pointed out, for example, my pricing of Namibian rest camps are over 20 years out of date - I'd have to study and choose to pay more, or hire a vehicle and camping gear (possible if you know what you are doing). Of course, I'd recommended camping anyway - but it may also be possible it must be a covered vehicle, as "bakkies" (pickups) were prohibited at one time.

(And one of those overland lorry / truck trips, or part of one, is not a bad option for the adventurous and budget-conscious.)
