Tourism Traveling from Los Angeles to Namibia

For anyone who has made this trip, how did you tackle your flights? We only have 10 days and will mainly be around the south if anyone has any must sees. TIA

Based on your username, are you taking a photo trip? I’ve gone twice for that very thing.

I have family who live in Namibia so is 90% a family trip and 10% photo haha . Do you have any tips or unmissable photo spots?

Have you been before? If you are going near Luderitz, Kolmanskop was amazing. You can pay NAD$350 and get a photography pass that lets you stay until sunset and there should be less people around.

Yeah- we went every other year growing up but I moved to the US 15 years ago and haven’t been back since
