Heiko Dörgeloh
Founder & Lead Concierge
Authority built on heritage. Expertise grounded in decades of Namibian experience.
Heiko Dörgeloh is a Namibia-based luxury travel entrepreneur with multi-generational heritage in Namibia. He is the founder and CEO of About Africa Co — one of the country's established high-end destination management companies.

Credentials
The foundation behind every journey.
Luxury Travel Entrepreneur
Decades developing and managing high-end travel experiences in Namibia. A deep understanding of allocentric luxury — the psychology of clients seeking depth over display, privacy over spectacle, meaning over consumption.
Conservation Developer
Heiko's work is inseparable from conservation. Pelican Point Lodge operates within a protected marine environment. Every journey contributes to long-term land stewardship, community employment, and meaningful conservation outcomes.
Founder & CEO, About Africa Co
About Africa Co is the operational foundation — an established destination management company built on deep Namibian expertise. It provides the supplier relationships, DMC infrastructure, and credibility that distinguish OUT Namibia from transactional travel companies.
Concierge Authority
Heiko personally oversees every OUT Namibia journey. He is not a figurehead. He is directly involved in consultation, itinerary design, supplier relationship management, and client support throughout.
His Guiding Principle
"Namibia does not demand courage.
It rewards curiosity."
— Heiko Dörgeloh
