Yup! Namibia would be a good option for astrophotography, and other photo-ops such as wildlife, landscapes, and some interesting old mining ghost towns in the diamond fields of the Skeleton Coast. The last time I visited Namibia was in 1983, and there have been considerable changes since then, but it doesn’t take much to find yourself in the wilderness. -- Regards, Savageduck |
