That's great, you will certainly have a great time in Namibia. Having a jeep will be a lot flexible than being on a tour since you can pretty much stop anywhere to fly your drone. Lots of vast places that you can fly it.  Interesting I did read about the permit but they weren't enforcing when I was there. Pretty much anywhere except national parks  and because you have 4x4 you will be able to stay  away from the crowds.

Truly appreciate it!

Beautiful shot. It's almost impossible to take a bad shot of sand dunes I've found. But, If I were to critique a great shot, this is what I think would make it an amazing shot. The sky isn't super interesting, maybe less of that? Also, I think shadows really make dune shots and create interesting depth. But in this case, the bottom right half is all shadow and doesn't add to the photo. Maybe try a few different positions in relation to the sun to create that killer depth with shadows. Still a great shot! Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the constructive feedback. I still have the raw so certainly can make some further adjustments. cheers, appreciate it

What a spectacular place, we will travel to Namibia in July, I had planned to take my Mavic air but I have read that you have to request permission from the authorities. You had a problem at the airport, you requested permission to use the drone

Fortunately enough I didn't have any problems with the Mavic Pro. I did cross in to Namibia on land by bus.
