The Land of the Brave has been recognised as one of the leading safari destinations in the world and nominated as one of the countries that will compete for this title in the prestigious World Travel Awards.

Namibia is competing against countries such as South Africa, Botswana and Kenya. Last year Kenya walked away with the title.

In the category for the 'World's Leading Desert Resort,' Namibia's Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge was nominated among lodges and resorts from Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.

The Damaraland Camp in Namibia was also nominated for the 'World's Leading Conservation Company,' while Ongava Lodge and Wolwedans Dunes Lodge and Dune Camp were both nominated for the 'World's Leading Private Game Reserve.'

The World Travel Awards were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry.

Currently, voting for the awards are still open and the public can support Namibia by registering online on the World Travel Awards website and making their voice count. Voting, however, closes on Saturday.

Today, the World Travel Awards brand is recognised globally as the ultimate hallmark of quality, with winners setting the benchmark to which all others aspire to reach.

Each year, the World Travel Awards covers the globe with a series of regional gala ceremonies staged to recognise and celebrate individual and collective successes within each key geographical region.

An Africa Gala Ceremony will be held in October this year where after the Grand Final Gala Ceremony will take place on 10 December.
