Here are some top tips from suppliers...

Becky Souissi, tailor-made travel expert for Africa, Kuoni:

"Having visited recently, Namibia holds a special place in my heart. The landscape is so diverse, from Sossusvlei’s orange sand dunes and the dramatic Skeleton Coast to the wide open expanses of the Namib desert. 

"Wildlife experiences are varied too. You can go from a traditional safari in Etosha and Okonjima to searching for desert-adapted elephants in Damaraland or jumping on a boat for marine adventures. 

"Culture vultures will love the ancient rock art while adrenaline junkies can try everything from sandboarding to fat-tyre biking. Namibia is also one of the best stargazing spots on the planet. 

"What I love most is working out how to fit all that into the perfect itinerary! The destination is great value for money, with our small-group tour a good starting point, showcasing key attractions and offering guaranteed departures. 

"However we can also tailor-make any trip, cherry-picking what’s of interest to your customers. Self-drive is growing in popularity too, with easy left-hand driving and a range of suggested Kuoni itineraries. 

"It might be a cliche but Namibia really does have something for everyone looking for an adventure-filled Africa experience."

Fiona Lunardelli, product manager, Wendy Wu Tours

"Namibia is a land of epic contrasts – from the soaring red dunes of Sossusvlei to the cracked white-clay pans of Deadvlei and the shimmering salt flats of Etosha, where elephants, lions and rhinos gather at remote waterholes. It’s a place that delivers cinematic scenery and rare wildlife encounters in equal measure.

"For travel agents, it’s key to set the scene. This is a destination defined by wide-open roads and wild horizons – expect long drives, surreal landscapes and unforgettable stops. Swakopmund brings a dash of German-period architecture, while Walvis Bay offers catamaran cruises in search of the ’Marine Big 5’: dolphins, whales, mola, leatherback turtles and seals.

"Tip: Position Namibia as the perfect choice for clients seeking something truly out of the ordinary – a mix of adventure, photography and nature at its most raw and beautiful. Our Namibia Adventure tour connects the highlights with expert ease, creating a seamless experience across one of Africa’s most extraordinary landscapes."
