Namibia as a popular holiday spot
Namibia is a popular regional holiday destination for South Africans, located in southwestern Africa.
Namibia’s abundant natural resources, low population density, good energy and transport infrastructure, and also its good safety and security are additional factors that make it an attractive destination for holidaymakers and even those considering relocating.
Markedly, Namibia is one of the safest countries on the African continent according to the latest Global Peace Index. The local government works hard to minimise violent crimes and petty theft.
