Namibia

Know before you go:

It's crucial to plan your trip carefully, especially if venturing into more isolated regions like the Skeleton Coast or the Namib Desert. Ensure your vehicle is equipped for the terrain and that you have supplies in case of emergency. Lodgings from lodges to campsites generally need to be booked in advance.

What is the best time to travel to Namibia?

Travel is best during the dry months of May to October when wildlife viewing is at its peak due to sparse vegetation and animals congregating around water sources. The weather is also cooler, making outdoor activities more enjoyable.

What languages are spoken in Namibia?

English is the official language, making it accessible for most tourists. Afrikaans and indigenous languages such as Oshiwambo are also widely spoken.

What is the currency and money situation in Namibia?

Handling money in Namibia is fairly straightforward. ATMs are available in major towns, but carrying cash is advisable in remote areas. Credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas but less so outside of cities.

Is it safe to travel through Namibia?

Namibia is generally safe for travelers, including solo (female) explorers. However, basic safety precautions are advised, especially in isolated areas and at night.

Nomad Score:

Namibia offers a moderate environment for digital nomads, with decent connectivity in urban areas but limited in rural and remote regions. The vast landscapes and the opportunity for unique experiences make it a worthwhile destination for those looking to combine work and travel.
