About Namibia
Namibia, a land of contrasts, offers a stunning array of landscapes and experiences. This vast and sparsely populated country is far more than just sand and rock. Explore the Desert’s Wonders of Sossusvlei: Marvel at the towering ochre dunes, some of the highest in the world or explore the Skeleton Coast and witness the eerie beauty of the coastline, littered with rusting shipwrecks.
Damaraland lets you discover bizarre rock formations, petrified forests, and lush oases and step back in time in the charming towns of Swakopmund and Luderitz, remnants of German colonial rule.
From the desolate beauty of the desert to the vibrant wildlife encounters, Namibia offers an unforgettable adventure for every traveler.
Namibia Basic Information
Electricity
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. Round three-pin plugs are standard.
Language
English is the official language, but many people also speak Afrikaans and German. There are also several indigenous languages spoken, mainly in the rural areas.
Safety
The majority of visits to Namibia are safe and trouble-free, but muggers in Windhoek sometimes target foreign tourists. Theft from vehicles does occur, especially at service stations, so valuables should be kept out of sight and cars should be locked. Travellers should avoid using taxis if possible and should never take one alone. It’s best to be especially careful when travelling in the Caprivi Strip; drivers should use it during daylight hours only, both for general safety and to avoid livestock, which wander onto roads causing accidents. The terrorism threat in Namibia is very low, with no major incidents of violence against foreigners reported.
Money
The official currency is the Namibian Dollar (NAD), which is divided into 100 cents. Its value is equal to the South African Rand, which is accepted as legal currency in Namibia. Major credit cards are accepted, while foreign currency can be exchanged at any bank or bureau de change. ATMs may not be available in remote areas.
Namibia Travel Specifics
Health
Typhoid, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccinations are recommended for travel to Namibia. Safety regulations in Namibia require all visitors who are over the age of nine months to have a yellow fever certificate if they’re arriving from a country with a risk of transmission. There is a malaria risk in the northern region of Namibia during the rainy season (January to April).
There has been an increase in the cases of rabies among dogs in Windhoek, so travellers at risk of animal bites should consider a rabies vaccination; everyone five years of age and older should get fully vaccinated for COVID-19 before visiitng. HIV/AIDS is prevalent and precautions are essential, although travellers are seldom at risk unless engaging in unprotected sex. Cholera outbreaks do occur, so visitors should drink only boiled or bottled water, avoiding ice in drinks.
There are good medical facilities in Windhoek, but medical insurance is essential as treatment is expensive. Outside of the main cities, medical treatment may be hard to come by. Travellers to Namibia should seek medical advice at least four weeks prior to departure. For peace of mind, it is best to take prescription medications along when travelling. Medicines should be kept in their original packaging and accompanied by a signed and dated letter from a doctor, detailing why the medication is needed.
Duty free
Travellers to Namibia over 16 years do not have to pay duty on 400 cigarettes, 50 cigars and 250g of tobacco; 2 litres wine and 1 litre spirits or liquor; 50ml perfume and 250ml of eau de toilette; and gifts to the value of NAD 1,250.

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Namibia if visitors are arriving from or have transited through an infected area. All travellers must have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period of intended stay in Namibia.
Climate in Namibia
The climate of Namibia is generally hot and dry, with rainfall occuring exclusively in the summer months between November and February, when some humidity and heavy thunderstorms are sure to be expected. Even during the rainy season, thunderstorms tend to be localised and occur more frequently in the centre and east of the country, while the desert receives markedly less rain. Summer is very hot and the Namib Desert should be avoided at this time, as temperatures are often above 104F (40C) and are extremely uncomfortable.
The coast is cooler and often foggy in summer. Average winter temperatures during the day range between 64F (18C) and 71F (22C), and the days are pleasantly warm and sunny. Nights can be very cold, though, especially in the desert, with frost covering the ground in the mornings.
The best time to visit Namibia is during winter from March to October. April and May are green and fresh, while June and August are the best for game viewing, as animals tend to congregate around waterholes, making them easier to spot. September and October are also fantastic for game viewing, but can be very dry and dusty.
Namibia Customs & More
Tipping
Tips of 10 percent are expected where a service charge has not been included in the bill. Tour guides, game rangers, and trackers rely on tips for their income and should be tipped accordingly.
Local customs
It is best to check before taking pictures of State House or properties where the President is residing, as well as any buildings guarded by the army or police. Some sexual relations between men are criminalised in Namibia, although these laws may not always be enforced.
Doing business
Business in Namibia is somewhat formal, although drinking and socialising are an important part of building good working relationships. Standard business etiquette applies. Dress tends to be formal, though lightweight materials tend to be worn in the hotter seasons, and punctuality is important. People shake hands on greeting and leaving, and are generally polite and professional. English is the language of business, though German and Afrikaans are widely spoken. Business hours are usually 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Communications
The international access code for Namibia is +264. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0027 for South Africa). Large parts of the country are not covered by the mobile network, so a satellite phone is a good backup option for those heading off the beaten track. WiFi is increasingly available in hostels, hotels, lodges and guesthouses; travellers can purchase local prepaid SIM cards for unlocked phones.
