Namibia offers the most beautiful natural parts of Africa. There are deserts, lush forests, rivers, and beaches. Once you get there, hotels and food are cheap, so the biggest cost is getting there. Explore the mountains and go on safaris, though most safaris these days do not involve killing animals. Still, seeing big animals in their natural habitat is amazing. There are places like Namib-Naukluft National Park, the huge Sesriem Canon, and UNESCO heritage sights like Etosha National park and Fish River canyon to explore. There are a lot of small hotels as well that offer very low prices. Camping is also popular in Namibia, as well as several day-long adventures in nature.
