Holiday like Brangelina in Namibia

The sand dunes in Namibia are stunning
Plenty of people dream of living like a film star, and many think that Los Angeles is the only place to do it.

This is not the case if you are Hollywood's hottest couple however. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (or Brangelina as the tabloids affectionately call them), who have reportedly selected Namibia in Africa as their destination of choice to marry.

The wild couple recently arrived in Namibia, with many thinking they had decided to give birth in the beautiful and quiet country.

Whether they do have their child and tie the knot in Namibia, remains to be seen, but it is clearly a country that means a lot to Angelina.

She is said to have fallen in love with the country when she spent weeks in Namibia filming scenes for Beyond Borders in 2002, and Expert Africa is now offering packages giving holidaymakers the chance to fall in love with it too.

Fans and tourists can in the future stay at the luxury Burning Shores hotel, which the couple are said to have booked out.

From there, guests can gaze upon the dramatic dunes as they cascade into the sea, as well taking part in a host of activities for all the family, such as quad-biking, dune-boarding, sea-kayaking and sky-diving.

If the luxury Burning Shores hotel is a little out of your price range, Expert Africa has launched an 11-day Dik Dik itinerary, which includes stays at a variety of small and charming lodges, with a mixture of B&B and full board accommodation.

Starting from £1,546 per person, this also includes return international flights from Gatwick to Windhoek with Air Namibia, car hire and a morning kayaking around Walvis Bay in Swakopmund.

Visitors to Namibia can expect to be greeted with the sight of massive sand dunes, soaring mountain ranges, deep canyons and one of Africa's largest conservation areas, the Namib-Naukluft National Park.
