Getting a visa at the airport in Namibia
Hi,
recently Namibia introduced a visa requirement for French travelers (among others). I’ve seen there’s a dedicated website for obtaining it.
But my question is about getting it on arrival at Windhoek Airport. I’d love any info on this: how fast it is, cost, documents needed, etc.
Thanks for your feedback!
Happy travels to you all
Route from Windhoek to Namaqualand (Africa)
Hi there,
From Windhoek to Namaqualand, is it possible to take a route further east than the B1 national road, and are there any points of interest along that way?
Thanks in advance.
17-Day Namibia Itinerary with 4x4 and Rooftop Tent
Hi there,
A group of friends (4 of us) and I set off on a 17-day road trip across Namibia in a 4x4 with a rooftop tent. I’ve put together a full recap of the trip, including our stops, activities, budget, and the campsites where we stayed—wild camping isn’t allowed in Namibia, so booking campsites is a must. If you need any details, feel free to check out the post here: https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2024/11/itineraire-2-semaines-en-namibie-avec.html
Helpful tip: The water at all campsites in Namibia is safe to drink, so no need to buy bottled water—just fill up your 4x4’s tank.

What's the best route from Opuwo to Divundu?
Hi everyone, we’ll be in Namibia in November and need to make the Opuwo to Divundu trip over 2 days. Is the best route the northern one via Oshakati, Eenhana, Rundu, and Divundu? If so, where’s a good halfway campsite (we’ve got a rooftop tent) or guesthouse?
Or should we go Opuwo, Oshakati, Tsumeb, then Rundu, staying somewhere like Zuri Camp in Tsumeb—or another spot? It’s a bit of a detour, but it gives us more options for safe overnight accommodation...
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows the area and can help out!

Feedback on our self-drive trip to Namibia and transfers to Botswana and Zimbabwe
Hi everyone,
Just sharing our experience from our wonderful trip for two, which we’ve just returned from. We decided to get help with the bookings from the agency Tourmaline Safaris, and everything was perfectly organized without any extra costs for the reservations. We chose to alternate nights in rooftop tents, Camping2Go (fitted tents), and guesthouses.
Flight from Paris to Windhoek with a layover in Johannesburg. 4x4 rented from Safari Car Rental—flawless. We had an official translation of our driver’s licenses, but no one asked for them during the trip. Mariental: 1 night in Camping2Go (Anib Lodge) Sersiem: 1 night in a rooftop tent (Oshana Campsite) Solitaire: 1 night in Camping2Go (Nabis Desert Lodge) Swakopmund: 2 nights in a guesthouse (The Stiltz) Spitzkoppe: 1 night in Camping2Go Omaruru: 2 nights in a rooftop tent (Omandumba Cave Camp) Etosha East: 1 night in a rooftop tent (Etosha Safari Village) Etosha West: 2 nights in a rooftop tent (Onguma Tamboti)—game drive and morning walk with them Okahandja: 1 night in Camping2Go Windhoek: 1 night at Londiningi Guesthouse Then... flight to Victoria Falls and transfer by car to Kasane for 2 nights (Water Lily Lodge), followed by a transfer to Victoria Falls for 2 nights at Phe Zulu. All transfers were arranged by Tourmaline, and they were all perfectly on time.
No logistical issues with Tourmaline Safaris, and given that our initial flight was delayed by a day, my checked luggage arrived a week late (Tourmaline arranged for the luggage to be transferred by taxi to Omaruru), and our initial Windhoek-Kasane flight was canceled by Air Botswana without explanation, we were really relieved to have the agency’s local contact to handle these unexpected issues! Delayed luggage seems to be common, but the agency had warned us, so we packed our carry-ons accordingly.
It was very cold at night (June), especially in Omaruru, but luckily we were prepared. Since it had rained a lot this season, Victoria Falls was flowing heavily! So much so that the water mist prevented us from seeing the eastern part of the falls. But a short helicopter tour gave us a better view. Be aware that the entrance fees for the falls are high (50 dollars per person) and only grant one entry—you can’t come in the morning and return in the late afternoon. We stayed from 6 AM to 3 PM in the park, taking breaks at the cafeteria, to see the falls at sunrise, at 11 AM (when the mist partially lifts), and at 3 PM (not much difference from the 11 AM view).
That’s it! A magnificent trip that left us with wonderful memories. Nothing disappointed us.

I’m heading to Namibia in October and slowly planning my trip.
I’ll be spending 2.5 days in the park and was wondering how to organize things to get the most out of Etosha.
Routes, wildlife spots, campsites... knowing I’ll be in a 4x4 with a rooftop tent.
Thanks in advance for your great tips!
Airport transfer in Windhoek by taxi
Hi there,
Could you give me an idea of the price for a taxi from Windhoek International Airport to Windhoek for two people? Is it necessary to book in advance, or are there enough taxis available at the airport?
Thanks! !
Local guide in Opuwo
I'm looking for a local guide to visit a Himba village near Opuwo in a respectful way. There’ll be two of us (my wife and I) with a car starting from Opuwo. If anyone has a contact—or even better, several contacts—for local guides to arrange this visit, thanks a million!

Exploring Namibia independently or with an agency?
Hello,
Namibia in April for 11 days from the 10th to the 21st with 2 adults and 3 (our son from the 16th to the 21st). We’re looking to combine 2 short circuits for this brief stay. Should we book a vehicle and accommodation through an agency?
We’re used to traveling independently, but we’re hesitant about Namibia! Any recommendations for vehicle rental sites? And agencies?
We’re planning two short circuits—partly with accommodation and partly with camping. Thanks for sharing your experience!
We’re flying from Cape Town to Windhoek on the 10th and returning on the 21st or 22nd. Marie

Hi,
I'm planning to reach Epupa Falls from Purros via Orupembe D3707 or another route (?) and the Hartmann Valley.
Is it possible to get to Epupa from Etambura camp with just one 4x4?
Thanks in advance

Travel insurance for a trip to Namibia
Hello,
We’re a couple in our seventies planning a 12-day trip to Namibia this coming September.
We have a Visa Premier card.
In your opinion, should we take out additional travel insurance like Europ Assistance or Chapka?
We don’t want to repeat our bad experience in 2020: we’d taken out insurance with Allianz (over 500 € for 11 days). Our trip to Botswana was canceled due to COVID-19, and they were quick to cite the "epidemic" exclusion to refuse reimbursement.
Just to clarify: the flights will be with Lufthansa, departing from Luxembourg.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give us some advice!
Rainy season in Namibia: March–April 2025
Hi everyone, I’m heading to Namibia from March 20 to April 7 (Kalahari, Tok Tokkie Trail, Sossusvlei, Spitzkoppe, Twyfelfontein, and Etosha). I was wondering if the rainy season has started and whether it’s expected to be heavy?
Also, if anyone has traveled there during this period, I’d love to hear about your experience. Thanks in advance!

Driving license requirements in Namibia
Hi everyone,
Could you clarify what type of driving license is required in Namibia?
I don’t have enough time to apply for an international driving permit, unfortunately. The processing time is way too long—5 months!
From what I’ve heard, a French license with an English translation should be enough?
Is that correct, and if so, who needs to certify the translation?
Thanks a lot, and have a great day!

Which accommodation to choose in Etosha (Namibia)?
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!

Sesriem to Etosha in one day
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to do the Sesriem–Etosha trip via Windhoek in a single day.
I know... it’s really long...
I plan to leave early in the morning... before 8 a.m. at any rate...
I know the Sesriem–Windhoek stretch via Solitaire is entirely on dirt roads...
What do you think?
Have a great day
Selling a 4x4 in Namibia
Hi there,
I’m a private individual with a 4x4 in Namibia (Toyota Landcruiser). I’d like to sell it to a European for payment in euros via a European bank account. Could anyone give me some tips on how to find interested buyers locally?
