Namibia Travel Advice

Most visits to Namibia are trouble-free, but travellers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

In early September 2007 the Namibian Ministry for Health confirmed meningitis outbreaks in Onamakulikwa, Ohambala, Onkumbula, Ohashipepe and Omakunde villages in Oshikoto Region.

If travelling along the Caprivi Strip, travellers should stick to the well-travelled routes.

Wildlife and livestock pose a serious hazard; travellers should avoid driving at night.
Road accidents and muggings are the main types of incidents visitors suffer.

Travellers should carry some form of identification at all times. A photocopy of the relevant passport pages is sufficient.
