Participants not only visit Namibia, they learn a unique skill or experience – something powerful and ever-lasting, which they will remember for the rest of their lives. Here are some examples:

For two days, your incentive group will be based in a remote Village in Northern Namibia, where the Himba tribe will open their homes and hearts, and receive participants into their homes. Because of the harsh desert climate in the region where they live and their seclusion from outside influences, the Himba have managed to maintain much of their traditional lifestyle. Members live under a tribal structure based on bilateral descent that helps them live in one of the most extreme environments on earth. Together with villagers we create an entire activity day based on local culture and tradition. Depending on how ethnic you are prepared to become, you can chose if you would like to stay in a traditional Himba Kraal, on a farm or in a country hotel. A central area will be converted into an interactive meeting-place, where the locals and guests share their ways of life and become friends. Meals are served there. The human encounters will be rewarding, enriching and unforgettable for everybody. Employees meet, share and interact on a different level in order to…

The great sand oceans of Namibia offer a breath-taking adventure unlike any other. Our Luxury Mobile Desert Camp allows you the experience of an authentic traveling desert expedition where the days explorations and nights under the starts don’t get any better than this. Our Camp is a mobile-style game camp that moves with the far-roaming rhino and desert-adapted elephants – the stars of this remote and fascinating land and the feature of this exclusive camp. The rhino and elephant that roam freely in this vast region have adapted to the desert-like conditions both physically and behaviourally. Guides and local trackers take you on day and night game drives and walking safaris in search of these pre-historic beasts. Several natural springs in the reserve support a surprising diversity of plants, animals and birds and some of the more exciting finds will include the Welwitschia plant, rhino, elephant, Hartmann’s mountain zebra, spotted hyena, gemsbok, white-tailed shrike, Herero chat and white-backed mousebird. Plains game and predators are prolific with possible sightings of lion, cheetah, leopard and the brown hyena. If you are seeking…

Namibia is a photographer’s paradise, the desert is everywhere. Endless miles of unspoiled coastline, graphically interesting plants, rugged rock formations and spectacular sand dunes present landscapes of overwhelming splendour—and the country encompasses one of the world’s great National Parks for wildlife photography. Travellers from all over the world are captivated by the variety of photographic subject matter in Namibia.

An experienced National Geographic photographer will be travelling with you at all times, giving you instruction and helping you capture great shots, no matter what kind of camera you use or how experienced you are in photography. Alongside your instructor will be our Namibian guides and drivers, bringing a lifetime of experience and knowledge of their wonderful country.

As an example, a trip can focus on the following four incredible areas: the…
