The Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) is proud to announce its first official participation in the Moscow International Travel & Tourism Exhibition (MITT), which will take place from 11 to 13 March 2026 at the Crocus Expo Exhibition Centre in Moscow.

This vibrant debut marks a strategic expansion into the Russian market, positioning Namibia as a leading destination for Russian travellers seeking adventure in an extraordinary land of contrasts a country infused with the romance of the world’s oldest desert and the winds of the Atlantic Ocean. All of this is offered with comfort and complete safety.

A New Frontier for Russian Travellers

Namibia’s entry to MITT 2026 comes at a time of growing interest in luxury, off-the-beaten-path destinations, and in Africa as a whole. With its remarkably diverse tourism offering, from the Skeleton Coast to the world’s oldest desert, from safari experiences in Etosha National Park to extraordinary geological formations in Damaraland, Namibia aims to capture the attention of both Russian B2B industry leaders and individual travellers.

“We are delighted to finally bring the ‘Soul of Africa’ to Moscow,” said Mr Sebulon Chikalu, CEO of the Namibia Tourism Board. “Namibia is not just a destination it is a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in vast, ancient spaces of silence and pristine beauty, which we believe will deeply resonate with the Russian soul, drawn to exploration, adventure, and mystery.”

Namibia, Africa’s hidden gem, captivates visitors with its otherworldly scenery and an extraordinary diversity of landscapes within a single country. Here, travellers will discover the endless orange dunes of the Namib Desert, the haunting Dead Vlei with its blackened tree skeletons, the dramatic beauty of the Skeleton Coast, untouched national parks where wildlife lives as it has for thousands of years, pristine coastlines, breathtaking canyons, and a rich cultural heritage including indigenous traditions and the vibrant nomadic lifestyle of the Himba people.

Namibia’s unspoilt natural beauty is also the result of the country’s strong commitment to conservation and biodiversity protection. Namibia actively promotes ecotourism and supports sustainable, community-based development, preserving ecosystems while engaging local communities in tourism activities.

Why Namibia Is an Ideal Destination for the Russian Market

Namibia offers a range of unique advantages that make it especially appealing to Russian travellers:

• Visa-Free Entry: Under a reciprocal agreement, Russian citizens can enter Namibia visa-free for up to 90 days, removing a major travel barrier and enabling spontaneous, inspiring journeys.

• Safety and Stability: Namibia consistently ranks among the safest and most politically stable countries in Africa, making it ideal for families and solo travellers alike. Russian visitors can enjoy peace of mind supported by world-class tourism infrastructure.

• “Luxury of Space”: With one of the lowest population densities in the world, Namibia offers an exclusive, socially distanced travel experience where true privacy can be felt. Russian travellers can enjoy complete seclusion in remote eco-lodges, camps, private villas, and boutique hotels.

• Cinematic Landscapes: From the striking red dunes of Sossusvlei and vast canyons to the wildlife-rich salt pans of Etosha National Park and deserts that dissolve into the ocean, Namibia’s landscapes are unlike anywhere else on Earth.

• Attractive Climate: Namibia boasts over 300 sunny days a year, offering a warm, dry, and comfortable climate year-round.
