Passport & Visa Information
  • Passports must be valid for at least six months from your date of arrival in Namibia.
  • As of April 2025, U.S. citizens and travelers from several Western countries must obtain a visa in advance via Namibia’s official e-Visa portal, or opt for a visa-on-arrival at major entry points.
  • A minimum of 3 blank passport pages are strictly required for entry and exit stamps.
Air Connectivity
  • Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek serves as the primary international gateway.
  • Travel from the US generally takes between 21 to 30 hours, usually involving a connection through major hubs like Frankfurt, Germany or Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
  • Due to the vast distances between destinations like Etosha, Sossusvlei, and the Skeleton Coast, light aircraft charter flights (or private guided 4×4 transfers) are utilized to maximize time on safari.
Health & Safety
  • Namibia is largely a low-risk malaria destination, but prophylaxis is highly recommended if your itinerary includes the lush Caprivi Strip or northern regions during the wet season.
  • A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is only required if you are arriving from or transiting through an endemic country.
  • Because of the extreme desert heat and dryness, travelers must remain hydrated with bottled water and use high-SPF sun protection at all times.

Common Questions

When is the best time to visit Namibia?

The best time to visit is during the dry season, from May to October. During this period, days are sunny and temperatures are comfortable. The lack of rain causes wildlife to congregate around permanent waterholes in parks like Etosha, making game viewing spectacular.

How long should a Namibia safari be?

Given the sheer scale of the country, we recommend 10 to 14 days for a well-rounded itinerary. This allows enough time to comfortably experience the towering dunes of Sossusvlei, the coastal charm of Swakopmund, the haunting Skeleton Coast, and premier wildlife viewing in Etosha without feeling rushed.

What level of accommodation is available in the desert?

Despite the remote and rugged landscapes, Namibia boasts incredible luxury. Guests can expect to stay in world-class, 4- and 5-star eco-lodges and tented camps that have been personally vetted by founders Robin and Stella. These properties offer absolute comfort, exclusivity, and breathtaking desert views.

How much does a custom safari in Namibia cost?

For a high-quality, ground-only package (excluding international flights), a 10-day itinerary typically starts around $4,500 per person sharing. A full 14-day safari generally begins at $6,500 per person. Costs vary based on the level of luxury, such as utilizing exclusive boutique lodges or incorporating private chartered flights to avoid long driving days.
