Tailor-made netball tours in Namibia

Netball in Namibia is not widespread, but games can be arranged at junior and senior levels in the capital city Windhoek and out on the coast at Walvis Bay. The national netball association is really investing a lot of time and effort to get Namibia on the world netball map – it is a great place to tour to combine matches with some development coaching. Distances are vast in Namibia and linking the cities and towns with visits to the sand dunes, township tours and the world famous Etosha Game Reserve makes for a truly memorable tour.
