Celebrity, Dillish Matthews, went on a Namibian road trip of a lifetime. See what the Big Brother star had to say about touring her home country and plan your own adventure around Namibia with the Dillish itinerary.
1. Which part of the trip surprised you most?
You May Also Like
That would be the Epupa Waterfalls. I was taken away by the scenery, the crocodiles, and, of course, my favorite of all was when we went water rafting. It was such a great experience!
2. How did the trip change you?
I had a different view on life, traveling, and my country. We were surrounded by so much beauty, but unfortunately, most Namibians have no idea of these beautiful hidden adventures.
3. If you could suggest a place in Namibia for a Namibian to visit, where would it be?
Definitely the dunes, Sossusvlei to be exact. I conquered the “Big Daddy”, got to see the famous Deadvlei, and had the best sundowner of my life on a beautiful red dune. I was just so taken away. Felt like a dream!
