I have no idea how Namibia has stayed under the radar because this is one of the best adventure destinations in the world.
But planning a trip to Namibia is complicated. It's a large country that requires meticulous planning if you're doing a driving or fly-in safari. Safari lodges usually require direct bookings, and you have to book bush flights, pre-arrange ground transfers, research luggage restrictions, and the list goes on and on.
I'm a Namibia expert, and I can plan your trip for FREE. Contact me at the link below to plan your next trip.
Pro Tip: Cash is king in Namibia, so always have local currency with you.
