Working in the Namibian tourism industry I am wondering what Lonely Planet's list ist based on. Tourist numbers in Namibia are going down this year, especially because of the overpriced accommodation and car rental. No doubt, Namibia is a beautiful destination, but when it comes to value for money a lot of other (African) countries are much better. And Namibia is for sure not a backpacker destination, unlike Zambia, South Africa or so!
