I can probably write a blog post on each of the above questions, but I’ll try to keep it simple with a few matter-of-fact answers.

Namibia is safe. Yes, we have our incidents – just like any other country. There will always be those individuals that are out there to harm, but because of our very low population growth, the opportunists don’t often see the light of day.

Population. Because of the few people in a vast country, you can easily drive for miles without seeing a soul. You may see the odd kudu or warthog, but humans, they are not as many. (Phew!)

Why use me or @atiholidays as your travel designer? Doesn’t it mean that you’ll pay more? Well, you may – you are, after all paying for a superb service. Truth is, if you book directly or through an online agent, you will have to spend hours doing research and still miss the details. Your holiday can turn into a fiasco, just because you didn’t know that Epupa Falls is west and Popa Falls is east. Book your whole tour through us, and you receive much more than accommodation. You receive a lifetime’s worth of inside knowledge. And… we’ll book everything from transfers, activities, restaurants… anything that you would like to prebook. Best of all – if it all goes wrong – you have someone else to blame.
