Safety & Scams
Generally safe for travelers; exercise common sense in Windhoek, especially at night, due to petty crime like bag snatching; outside cities, the main risks are extreme heat and long distances between settlements; avoid driving at night due to wildlife on roads; healthcare is good in the capital but limited in rural desert areas; carry plenty of water.
Getting Around
A 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended for exploring the vast desert terrains and gravel roads; small aircraft are common for high-end lodge transfers; public transport is limited between major towns; car rentals are very professional and common for self-drive safaris.
Cultural Etiquette
Greetings are important and polite; respect the traditions of the Himba and San peoples; ask permission before taking photos of people; conservation is highly valued, so respect wildlife viewing rules; tipping 10-15% is standard.
Internet & Connectivity
Digital infrastructure is reliable in Windhoek and Swakopmund; 4G is available in major towns via MTC and Telecom Namibia; connectivity in the deep desert and remote areas is very limited or non-existent; many remote lodges use satellite internet.
