About this episode
The episode explores luxury LGBTQ-friendly travel experiences in Namibia with guest Heiko Dörgeloh.
Is Namibia safe for LGBTQ+ travelers? And what does a luxury gay safari there look like? To answer these questions, we are joined by Heiko Dörgeloh, founder of OUT Namibia, the country’s first LGBTQ+ travel concierge. Together, we explore why Namibia is quietly becoming one of Africa’s most welcoming and transformative destinations. Heiko shares how Namibian culture’s deep respect for privacy and discretion creates a surprisingly comfortable environment for LGBTQ+ visitors, and how OUT Namibia curates bespoke luxury safaris where travelers can fully be themselves. From vast desert landscapes and wildlife encounters to champagne dune breakfasts and conservation-minded luxury lodges, he reveals a side of African travel many queer travelers haven’t imagined.
