I have hunted in Namibia and RSA. I think that RSA is the best place for a first time safari when all things are considered. While Namibia is an absolutely beautiful country and the hunting is fantastic, South Africa offers more species and more diverse terrain and habitat as you move from one area to another.
The majority of us take our spouses with us and plan on doing a bit of sight seeing and 'tourist' type activities before or after the hunt. The cities of Johannesburg, and the beautiful coastal cities of Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth offer an unlimited number of things to do and see.
Having said that, I personally hope to get back to Namibia one of these days. I love the country, the game and the solitude.
