Namibia – self drive or personalized

Namibia is a very huge country – nearly four times Great Britain with just 4 % of its population. The landscapes – the desert, the savanna, the rought mountains, the long coast – this vastness enthralles travellers from all over the world. However, when putting together an itinerary you will have to make some choices of the areas to visit – if you are not among those fortunate having at their disposal unlimited money and time.
