Important Tips

•The local currency is the Namibian Dollar (NAD), which is pegged 1:1 to the South African Rand (ZAR). ZAR is accepted everywhere in Namibia.
•If renting a car to explore the desert, a 4x4 is highly recommended, and you must carry plenty of water and spare tires.
•Tap water in major cities like Windhoek is generally safe to drink, but bottled water is advised outside the capital.
•It is illegal to take any animal parts, including ivory or rhino horn, out of the country.
•Check the exact number of days granted by the immigration officer on your stamp; overstaying, even by a day, leads to heavy fines and possible detention.

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.
