Namibia is simply other-worldly! From the apricot coloured sand dunes of the Sossusvlei to the arid salt pans of Etosha, Namibia is an overload of mesmerising landscapes and diverse wildlife. Despite being more than twice the size of Germany, it has a population of just 2.5 million making it one of the lesser populated regions on the planet.

With an almost pot-hole free road infrastructure, Namibia is a dream for slow travel and epic self-drive journeys. For those wanting to immerse in the diverse tribal cultures and remote wildernesses while being guided by locals experts, a tailor-made itinerary would be a better fit.

Tourism is regarded as one of Namibia's key economic sectors that can diversify the economy and create employment, but due to the apartheid legacy the sector is highly dominated by its 6% white minority. The main challenges are related to the prevailing inequality and racial prejudices as well as the nature of tourism which requires special skills and experience.
