Last Friday was a special day for Namibia Media Holdings’ monthly tourism magazine, Tourismus, when it became the proud owner of a brand new Toyota Hilux 4x4 Xtra-Cab Raider (2.8 GD-6).

The dealer principal of Pupkewitz Toyota in Windhoek, Anton Westraadt, handed over the vehicle to NMH, represented by Le Roux van Schalkwyk (seated in the vehicle).

The off-roader will allow Tourismus to venture off the beaten track to inform its readers about more remote tourism destinations.

Westraadt and his colleague Jaco Barnard, sales manager of Pupkewitz Toyota, are eager to work together with Tourismus, especially now that the vehicle will be branded and fully fitted with camping gear.

Once ready, the vehicle will be travelling throughout Namibia and when readers encounter it on their travels, they will be afforded the opportunity to send in their photos and qualify for prizes.
