Desert Escapades

Namibia, a country of mysterious deserts and an abundance of wildlife, is the perfect location to host your next conference, meeting or event. A great destination for incentive travellers, Travel Motives offers you the inside edge in this exciting country.

Namibia became a German colony in 1884 setting off fierce resistance by local inhabitants including the massive uprising of the Herero and Nama people in 1904. Germany managed to retain control of the country but they lost it in the post-World War II settlements; South Africa was then appointed as an administrator for the territory by the League of Nations. The United Nations later revoked this decision and a three-decade long legal battle ensued between South Africa and the United Nations until February 1990 when Sam Nujoma was sworn in as president of an independent Namibia. Today more than 11 ethnic groups live in peace in this beautiful country with is varying influences showing up in the architecture, food and spoken languages.
