Why Travel to Namibia ? by Luke Hardiman

Deserts, wildlife & african culture.

Namibia is a land of vast desert landscapes and wide-open spaces, as well as being home to an abundance of wildlife and rich cultural heritage. This large desert country covers about 825 419 km² (318 696 sq mi), but only has a population of around 2,5 million people! This makes Namibia the second least densely populated country in the world! 

Easy & Safe African Safari Destination

Namibia is a popular African travel destination because it is safe and politically stable. It also has excellent infrastructure and is economically prosperous. Like Botswana, Namibia’s successful neighbor, tourism and the diamond industry are the mainstays of the country’s economy. Namibia is a great choice for first-time safari-goers, being dubbed as "Africa for beginners".

Namibia is ideal for families, older visitors and solo travelers. 

Namibia safaris have something to offer everyone. It is a particularly rewarding African travel destination for photographers, wildlife enthusiasts and adventure seekers. 

Top Namibia Destinations

Some of Namibia’s major attractions are its stunning desert landscapes and tall, red-orange sand dunes, as well as superb game viewing in Etosha National Park. Namibia consists of contrasting landscapes, from its striking deserts and rugged mountains to the wild Atlantic coastline and unspoiled central plateau. 

Etosha National Park – Namibia’s Premier Game Reserve 

Etosha National Park , Namibia's most famous game reserve, is home to an abundance of wildlife. Four of Africa's Big Five safari animals are found in Etosha - lion, rhino, elephant and leopard. It is one of the world’s largest game parks covering about 20 000 sq km of salt pans, grasslands, savannah, and woodlands in Northern Namibia. The park is named after the vast Etosha Pan that it surrounds. An apt name as Etosha means ‘Great White Place of Dry Water’ in the local Ovambo language. The vast open plains of this dried lake are a shimmering white-to-green spectacle that makes for excellent photographic opportunities. See our Budget Etosha Safaris .

The Namib Desert – Namib-Naukluft Park, Sossusvlei & Sesriem Canyon

The Namib-Naukluft Park protects 50 000 sq km of Namib Desert and the Naukluft Mountains and is also home to some of the most peculiar and rare animals and plant species. This part of the world is renowned for its wide-open spaces and ever-shifting red-orange sand dunes. The Namib Desert is a place where solitude and stillness can be fully appreciated in its vast and unusual landscapes. The Namib-Naukluft Park is one of Africa’s largest game parks, consisting of four areas - Sossusvlei, Sesriem, Naukluft and the Namib section. A visit to the world's tallest sand dune in Sossusvlei is a must-do activity.

Other Namibia Travel Highlights

• The Kalahari Desert & Quiver Tree Forest
• Damaraland, Spitzkoppe & Brandberg Mountain
• Swakopmund, Skeleton Coast & Cape Cross Seal Colony
• Capri Strip, Bwabwata National Park & Kavango River
• Fish River Canyon, Kolmanskop & Lüderitz
• Waterberg Plateau Park, Hoba Meteorite and Cheetah Conservation Fund

The cultural diversity of Namibia is a definite drawcard for tourists visiting this stunning desert nation. The main ethnic group in Namibia is made up of the Ovambo People, with significant numbers of Herero and Himba people as well as a population of European descendants. Afrikaans and German are among the languages spoken in Namibia, where the colonial German influence of the past can still be seen, particularly in Windhoek. See our tours departing from Windhoek .

How to Travel Around Namibia on a Budget

Welcome to the latest post in our Africa column by Natasha and Cameron from  The World Pursuit . While I’ve been to the continent in the past, I’ve only seen a few countries so I’m super duper excited to have these two travelers share their knowledge about traveling the continent . This month they are sharing how to travel around Namibia (one of my favorite countries in the world) on a budget!

As steam rose from the tarmac and mirages presented themselves in the far distance, our truck’s engine nearly boiled over. We drove through empty Namib Desert in 40°C (104°F) heat with the windows down and heat on full blast to cool it off. Traveling around a sparsely populated desert country in Africa presents its challenges!

Despite our desert adventures, we loved traveling around Namibia and think it’s a great African destination to explore, especially for first-time travelers to the continent. We saw the sun rise over the largest sand dunes in the world in Sossusvlei and listened to thousands of seals give birth at the Cape Cross Seal Colony. Just driving around the country without seeing a single other person for hours made us feel as if we were on another planet.

Namibia is a special place that many in the world have never even heard of. Compared to South Africa , it’s a lot less visited by tourists, especially those traveling on their own and not on a tour. But we found the country easy to visit and affordable.  

Where Did We Go?

We entered southern Namibia, as we were traveling north from Cape Town , and exited via the Caprivi Strip into Botswana. Here is the route we followed.

Fish River Canyon – Luderitz – Aus – Kalahari – Namibrand Nature Reserve – Sossusvlei – Walvis Bay – Swakopmund – Skeleton Coast – Spitzkoppe – Etosha National Park – Caprivi Strip

This route took us a month to complete, with most stops taking up 3-4 days of our time. We wanted a relaxing holiday, but if you move fast and are short on time, you can easily do a Namibian road trip like this in 15-20 days.

We decided to skip Windhoek, as there wasn’t much in the capital city we were dying to see. Due to lack of time, we also skipped the northwestern Kunene region, which is where the Himba people live. For those wanting to travel to this part of the country, the only way to get there is with a fully equipped vehicle or a tour. The region is isolated, so you must be fully capable of getting yourself out of any circumstances and stock up with food and water.  

How Much Does It Cost to Travel Around Namibia?

We averaged about $45 USD (600 NAD) a day per person for campsites, food, beer, and transportation, with a majority of that going to fuel (our Land Cruiser was thirsty – 6km per liter/14 miles per gallon – and distances are long).

Here are some average prices from our trip:

• Campsite – $6 USD (80 NAD) per person per night
• Dorm bed – $8 USD (100 NAD) per person per night
• Private double room – $45-$60 USD (600-750 NAD) per night
• National park fees – $6 USD (80 NAD)
• Petrol – $0.80 USD (10 NAD) per liter
• A cook-your-own-pasta meal from the supermarket – $2.50 USD (30 NAD)
• Salad from a café – $4 USD (55 NAD)
• Bottle of Windhoek beer – $1.10 USD (15 NAD)
• Cup of coffee – $2 USD (25 NAD)

So if you were staying in dorm beds, taking the train, and cooking all your own meals, you could get by on a budget of $20-30 USD a day. However, if you want to camp and get outside the main cities, you will need to take a tour or have your own vehicle, which will up your costs to about $45 USD (to self-drive with four passengers) to $90 USD (for a tour) a day.  

How to Get Around Namibia

The most reliable bus option in Namibia is the Intercape bus service . They are generally in good condition and safe, and even provide air conditioning. Intercape buses do not run every day and don’t have many stops, so it’s important to look at the website for their routes and schedule.

Prices vary according to the distance traveled: a bus from Windhoek to Livingstone, Zambia, costs roughly $55 USD depending on the exchange rate, while a bus to Springbok, South Africa, from Windhoek costs $65-85 USD.

Rates for a rental truck stocked with everything you need for camping and a pop-up tent vary depending on the season. In low season (January–July), you can pick up a two-person Hilux for $85 USD a day; in the high season (July–December), it will go for around $130 USD a day. The more bells and whistles you add on to your rental, the higher the cost gets. When we last visited in November, the entire country was sold out of rental trucks in what was traditionally the shoulder season, so it is highly advised to book in advance.

Overland Tour We talked about overland tours previously. There is a really wide range of ways in which you can do a tour in Namibia. The least expensive option is to go with one of the many overland tour companies such as Oasis, Nomad, Acacia, or Intrepid .

Tours are great for solo travelers looking to meet people, and also for those that want maximum fun with minimal planning effort. Overland tours in Namibia start at an average of $125 USD per person per day. These tours cover all transport within Namibia, activities, camping, and most meals.

Train The TransNamib passenger train makes only a few stops, but it definitely provides interesting views of this desert country out the window. Trains mostly operate at night, so if you plan to make use of the train you should be prepared to sleep in a first-class seat or economy reclining seat. There are no sleeping cabins aside from the Keetmanshoop-Windhoek train. Tickets range from $6-$15 USD.

The Desert Express is a weekly train geared toward more luxury-minded tourists, with prices starting at $295 USD per ticket.

Hitchhiking There seems to be an increasing number of vagabonds in Africa who are getting themselves into dangerous situations and relying on strangers to bail them out. We would not recommend hitchhiking in Namibia, as the population is sparse and it could be hours between passing cars.  

Tips for Traveling in Namibia

• Learn how to change a tire – Namibian roads are very rough on cars. They are badly corrugated and dry and dusty. Make sure you know how to change a tire in case you get a flat or else you could be waiting on the road for a few hours.
• Avoid night driving – Whether self-driving, on an overland tour, or taking buses, we would advise against any kind of night driving. There are no streetlights on Namibian roads, and cattle roam freely on them.
• Don’t rely on the internet – We found the Wi-Fi in Namibia to be passable at best, and even if you pick up a SIM card, don’t expect it to work anywhere but in the cities and towns. Much of the country is empty desert where there are no cell phone towers.
• Stay full and hydrated – No matter what kind of transport you use, it’s important to stock up on food and water. Western-style supermarkets can be found in Windhoek, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Luderitz, and other relatively large towns.
• ATMs can only be found in main cities and towns – You will be able to withdraw cash in Windhoek, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, and Luderitz, but we would be wary about being able to in other places. Make sure to have enough cash on you to make it to your next major destination, as credit cards aren’t widely accepted. Almost all places in Namibia accept South African rand as well.
• Prebook in the high season – Namibia’s high season runs from mid-May to mid-November, so we would recommend booking your accommodation for these months ahead of time. Even the campsites book up with overlanders. We visited in November and ran into problems a few times with hotels being at capacity.
• Stay safe – Namibia is one of the safest countries in Africa. However, it is still a developing nation, and common sense should be utilized, especially in the capital of Windhoek, which in recent years has seen a rise in crime. Don’t show signs of wealth, use vigilance at night, and all should be OK.
• Namibian national parks are affordable – We found that Namibia has some of the cheapest national parks in Africa. Etosha National Park , for example, is the largest and easily most recognized park in the country, with entrance fees costing as little as 80 NAD ($6 USD)! The wildlife spottings are fantastic in the dry season as well.
• Take care of your electronics – The desert heat is no joke, and neither is the sand. Cameras, laptops, and even cellphones should be well protected from the dry air and dust that can easily find its way into the tiny crevices of your valuables.

When people ask us what country they should visit in Africa, Namibia is always at the top of our list. There is just something about seeing the stars twinkle in the desert night without a soul around.

Even though we had a month in the country, we still felt we could have delved way deeper into the remote parts and explored more. The country is vast and has so many interesting things to offer, we can’t wait to return!

Natasha and Cameron run the blog  The World Pursuit , focusing on adventure and cultural travel. The two of them met in the film industry before they decided to abandon the American lifestyle and travel the world together. They recently bought a 4×4 at the tip of Africa and are traversing the continent while documenting their story on  Instagram  and  Facebook . 

Book Your Trip to Namibia: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Use Skyscanner or Momondo to find a cheap flight. They are my two favorite search engines because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned. Start with Skyscanner first though because they have the biggest reach!

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the biggest inventory and best deals. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• Safety Wing (for everyone below 70)
• Insure My Trip (for those over 70)
• Medjet (for additional repatriation coverage)

Namibia - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Holidays to Namibia is an ideal for adventure seekers. It combines an attractive countryside and great animal-watching activities. This interesting country prides on several national parks inhabited by rich wildlife, magnificent landscapes of the Namib Desert and the largest canyon of Africa. A trip to Namibia also offer splendid vistas and exciting hiking opportunities. In addition, Namibia’s capital of Windhoek combines European architecture (a legacy of German colonial rule) and the charm of Africa.

Travel Highlights

• Take a safari to Etosha National Park to lay eyes on the diverse wildlife of this amazing country. There, you will see elephants, zebras, lions and other animals that gather around waterholes in great numbers.
• Visit the Namib Desert to experience ever-shifting sand dunes. Don’t miss Dead Vlei, a photogenic area with black trees surrounded by high dunes.
• To get acquainted with elephants, lions and black rhinos adapted to the desert conditions, head to Damaraland. Also, visit the Damara Living Museum to learn about the region’s traditional culture.
• Stop by the coastal area of Walvis Bay in November to observe migrations of whales.
• Discover some of the finest examples of African prehistoric art on the guided tour through Namibia’s highest mountain of Brandberg.
• In the south, visit the Fish River Canyon. The southern hemisphere’s largest canyon abounds with impressive cliffs. Zebras, klipspringer antelopes and black eagles inhabit the area.

Travel Tips

• Since public transport is inconsistent, rent a car to explore Namibian countryside efficiently.
• Banks in Namibia offer more favorable money exchange rates than exchange offices. Besides Namibia Dollar, you can use South African Rand. ATMs are available in major banks and their subsidiaries.
• Internet access is scarce and expensive (around 4 USD per hour). You should find internet cafes in tourist-oriented towns.
• Take basic precautions in towns to avoid scams.
• If you travel to northern regions of the country or in summer, take a preventive anti-malaria therapy.
• English is the official language in Namibia. German is also widely in use.

All about namibia-self drive, 10 days self tour - beauty of namibia.

Yes, paying a bit extra for a tour in Namibia is absolutely worth every penny and, in some cases, a must to unveil the country's hidden treasures. Given the challenge of reaching remote areas independently, tour operators provide exclusive access to these difficult to reach spots. Therefore, choosing a guided tour is the most common decision among the majority of travelers. Local experts and tour guides can arrange your entire trip, covering transportation, lodging, dining, activities, excursions, tickets, and more. Opting for a package tour creates a worry-free journey, with every detail sorted out and an up-front price tag.

You can find many situations where tours in Namibia are more cost-effective compared to an independently planned trip. The affordability of a tour depends on factors such as the destinations covered, level of luxury, and duration. Each tour and independent trip is unique, but tour providers often offer competitive prices that match the luxury level of an independent trip with the same amenities. On average, a tour in Namibia costs $370 per day, with many tours priced below this average, although some are higher. Prices for tours in Namibia range from $35 to $19,690. When comparing costs with independent travel, it's important to consider that guided tours typically include accommodations, transportation, guides, meals, tickets, and even more. To accurately compare prices, it is essential to understand the inclusions of a tour package and thoroughly research the costs of independent travel in Namibia.

Group Tours vs. Independent Travel in Namibia

For many travelers, it is a hard decision whether to travel with an organized tour package or to plan a trip independently. Organized tour packages are a great way to travel in Namibia in 2024 or 2025 because a variety of great deals and sales are now available. Also, because guided tours tend to be all-inclusive, they will provide great values on accommodations, transportation, entry tickets, food, and other travel necessities. You'll also have the benefits of knowledgable guides as well as the peace of mind that you don't have to plan out the entire trip. On the other hand, traveling independently provides more flexibility and control over your travel plans instead of the fixed schedule of a tour package. You can shift your schedule and budget around as needed. Also, it's easier to get closer to local cultures and visit those harder to reach destinations that tours usually don't visit.

What are the benefits of a package tour to Namibia?

Traveling with a tour provides a multitude of advantages. One of the most significant benefits is the convenience of having all the details sorted out for you. From arranging transportation to securing accommodations and planning activities, everything is taken care of, allowing you to have a worry-free experience. This means you won't have to stress about finding suitable places to stay, figuring out logistics, or potentially missing out on any important sights. Additionally, most tours offer all-inclusive pricing, giving you a clear understanding of the total cost of your trip before you depart. The beneifits of a tour are

• knowledgeable guides
• comfortable amenities
• not having to plan
• reliable service and schedule
• fixed budget
• meeting other like-minded travelers
• eliminating risks

What are the benefits of independent travel in Namibia?

The advantages of independent travel include freedom, control, and flexibility. When you travel independently, you have the freedom to decide where to stay, which attractions to visit, when and where to eat, and how to navigate the destination. Taking charge of these choices also gives you greater control over your budget, schedule, itinerary, and the level of luxury you desire during your trip. Other benefits include:

• in-depth cultural opportunities
• off-the-beaten-path destinations
• flexible schedules
• flexible budget

To ensure your spot on the tour to Namibia, it is recommended to plan and book well in advance, preferably a few months or more prior to the departure date. While it is not uncommon for many people to reserve their tours up to a year ahead, our experience indicates that booking around 6 to 9 months in advance is typically adequate. It is essential to consider that numerous tours get fully booked ahead of time, so early booking guarantees your place on the trip. Moreover, booking early can result in significant cost savings, as tour companies often offer early booking sales and discounted prices. However, it is important to be aware that some tour companies may occasionally offer last-minute discounts for tours that are not fully booked. Nevertheless, waiting for last-minute discounts entails the risk of missing out on a spot if the tour reaches full capacity.

When it comes to tours in Namibia, group sizes can range from as small as 4 to as large as 100 people, with an average group size of 16. Nevertheless, it's worth mentioning that the size of the tour does not necessarily correlate with its cost or overall experience.

Most organized tour packages to Namibia typically last around 8 days, although the duration can vary. Tours can range from 2 to 21 days, or even longer. It is important to note that longer tours may be more expensive initially, but their cost per day tends to decrease. Additionally, longer tours offer the opportunity to visit multiple destinations at a comfortable pace, making them a worthwhile investment.

Where do group tours go in Namibia?

Namibia offers an abundance of tours that venture into different parts of the country, allowing you to explore a multitude of locations. Some of the top attractions you can expect to visit on these tours include Windhoek, Swakopmund, Etosha National Park, Walvis Bay, Damaraland, Namib-Naukluft Park, Luderitz, and Okahandja, ensuring a captivating and diverse experience.

What tour and travel companies offer packages to Namibia?

Plenty of companies are offering package tours to and around Namibia, but not all of them are the same. Some of the companies are large international operators that have solid reputations. Other companies are smaller and offer more unique and locally-based insights into the country. With larger companies, tours are rarely cancelled and customer service is generally high. With smaller companies, you're more likely to have a trip that gives you more local and personable experiences.

The companies offering the most tours in Namibia are Discovery Transfers and Tours , Across Africa Tours & Travel , Chameleon Safaris Namibia , World Adventure Tours , and Safari World Tours . All of them tend to offer quality trips with high guest ratings.

What is the best tour company offering trips to Namibia?

The Cost of Travel in Namibia: My 2024 Budget Breakdown

My road trip across Namibia was the best travel experience of my life.

But it was also one of the most expensive trips I’ve ever taken.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go.

On the contrary, if you can afford it, you should make every effort you can to get there.

Watching the sunrise over the Namib Desert; lying in the sand dunes gazing up at the Milky Way; pulling over to the side of the road to look at a map, then sitting in awe as a dozen giraffes wander out from behind the trees to surround your car; devouring dozens of the best oysters on the planet; exploring abandoned shipwrecks on the Skeleton Coast; spending hours clambering over mini sand dunes inside houses in an abandoned ghost town; watching giraffes drink from a waterhole from your hotel’s infinity pool… I could continue for hours, because I experienced hundreds of magical moments in this country.

Needless to say, it’s totally worth the expense to travel there.

Here’s how much you can expect to be up for. As always, all prices are in US dollars with the local currency included in brackets afterwards.

The Cost of Accommodation in Namibia

Accommodation is the most expensive part of Namibia travel because there are basically two options: camping or expensive. If you’re not down for carrying camping gear around with you, there are close to no budget options.

You can therefore expect to pay around $100 a night in low season (December – March), and up to double that when the tourists arrive (June – October). The one positive to spending a lot of money on accommodation is that you get what you’re paying for: I felt as though we were receiving wonderful value for money, even if it was over our typical budget — it wasn’t like we were paying $100 a night to stay in a rundown motel. Instead, I stayed in some of the most beautiful hotels of my life in Namibia, and the accommodation turned out to be just as much a highlight as the landscapes.

Here’s where we stayed, in order of when we visited, and for how long, in case you want to recreate my adventure (you should): The prices are for two people staying in a double or twin room in shoulder season.

Ovita Wildlife Restcamp : $92 (N$1730)   per night. We stayed for one night.

We landed in Windhoek, but wanted to stay outside of the city, so Ovita Wildlife Restcamp was a logical place for us to stop. It provided the perfect welcome to Namibia: we were the only people staying the night at the lodge and were at least an hour’s drive from the nearest signs of civilisation. This lodge was so peaceful! We had sundowners on a raised terrace overlooking a lake filled with hippos and crocodiles, ate a delicious meal of warthog fillets that was one of the best dinners of our trip, and fell asleep to the sounds of hippos snorting outside our room. I loved it here and would recommend it as an ideal place to stay if you don’t want to spend a night in Windhoek. 

Halali Camp : $135 (N$2540) per night. We stayed for two nights. 

If you want to stay within Etosha National Park (and you should), your options are limited to five lodges spread out inside the park. Halali is in the centre and we stayed there first. The lodge was lovely, and I loved having a jacuzzi in our garden for hot tub times under the stars. The lodge’s waterhole attracted black rhinos at night, which was incredible to witness. If you’re traveling in low season, keep an eye out for specials — they sometimes discount rooms quite heavily at this time.  

Okaukuejo Camp : $184 (N$3880) per night. We stayed for one night. 

Okaukuejo is located west of Halali and made for a logical stop for our third night in the park. After spending time in small and quiet Halali, Okaukuejo was a noisy surprise. It was larger, louder, more expensive, and jam-packed full of tourists. Having said that, our room was nicer than in Halali, there was a swimming pool to cool off in, and there was a cheap burger place to grab lunch from, which was rare in Etosha. Breakfasts and dinners were standard buffet fare, and the staff were wonderful. 

Vingerklip Lodge : $112 (N$2110) per night. We stayed for one night.

Vingerklip was my favourite lodge of the entire trip, and the perfect stopover between Etosha and Swakopmund. Set in Namibia’s version of Monument Valley, it feels as though you’re a thousand miles away from civilisation when you stay here. There were some incredible swimming pools overlooking a waterhole that attracted dozens of giraffes, but the restaurant was the highlight for me. You had to climb up some rickety scaffolding in order to reach the top of a nearby cliff, but eating dinner while overlooking an enormous canyon was a highlight of the entire trip. 

At the Sea Boutique Guesthouse : $98 (N$1840) per night. We stayed for three nights.

At the Sea guesthouse was exactly what we needed for our three nights in Swakupmond. It was an easy walk to the beach and the town centre, so after thousands of kilometres of road tripping, it was nice to hardly need to start the car for a few days! The room was large and clean, Dave loved having a Nespresso machine in the room for his morning coffee, and we both really enjoyed the free breakfast that came with the room rate. The staff were super-friendly as well.

Sesriem Desert Camp : $143 (N$2700) per night. We stayed for one night.

If Vingerklip was my favourite lodge of the trip, Sesriem Desert Lodge comes in at a very, very close second. The photo at the top of this section is Sesriem Desert Camp and if that doesn’t meet the definition of oasis, I don’t know what does. We were staying in a luxury tent here, and while it was basic, the pool, bar, and views more than made up for it. The dinner buffet was surprisingly great for Namibia. 

Betta Camp : $69.50 (N$1300) per night. We stayed for one night.

Considering we picked Betta Camp because it was the cheapest option between Sesriem and Luderitz, I was pleasantly surprised. This was the cleanest room we stayed in in Namibia, the space was surprisingly modern, and I highly recommend it. The owners were lovely, the desert views were badass, and the lodge had an amazing gift shop where I may have spent far too much money on an enormous guinea fowl statue. I seriously recommend staying here if you’re going to be passing through.

Kairos B&B : $58 (N$1100) per night. We stayed for one night.

If you want to visit the ghost town of Kolmanskop, you’ll most likely stay in nearby Luderitz. Kairos B&B was an affordable and decent hotel on a small peninsula with a nearby flamingo colony. There was A/C, parking spaces, a clean, modern room, and a gorgeous view over the ocean. It was great!

Maltahohe Hotel : $106 (N$1980) per night. We stayed for one night. 

I’ll be honest with you: there’s absolutely nothing to do in Maltahohe, but it’s a logical stopping point between Luderitz and Windhoek, and we liked the Maltahohe Hotel a lot. There was a swimming pool, beer garden, and bar/restaurant on site, so we had everything we needed to recover from yet another long drive over gravel roads. No complaints here! 

The total cost of accommodation in Namibia was: $1328.50

The total cost of my share of accommodation expenses in Namibia over two weeks was: $664.25. 

The Cost of Transportation in Namibia

There aren’t many ways you can cut down on transportation costs in Namibia. Buses don’t service many parts of the country, and the limited passenger trains that used to exist have been suspended indefinitely since the pandemic, so you’ll most likely be hiring a car in order to get around.

If that’s a complete impossibility for you (e.g., you can’t drive), you may need to limit where you plan to go, and/or take the shared minibuses that locals use to get between towns. Prices vary between about N$100-400 depending on distance, and they leave when full.

One of the few routes of interest to tourists that you can travel by some form of public transport is between Windhoek and Swakupmund/Walvis Bay on the coast. Private pre-booked shuttles cost around $16 (N$300) with companies like Carlo’s , and take 4-5 hours.

To see more of the country, especially the more remote parts (and there are plenty of those!), you’ll really need your own vehicle. While there are many guides online insisting you need to hire a 4×4, we opted for a Toyota Corolla and didn’t feel as though we needed much more.

Some more ground clearance would have potentially prevented part of our car’s undercarriage from falling off[!], but we definitely didn’t need any additional traction to what we had. You’ll save a lot of money by opting for a smaller car, so if you have experience on gravel roads, don’t sweat it and go for the cheaper option. With car insurance, of course!

Car insurance is totally an essential for Namibia, as the country has one of the highest rates of car accidents in the world. It’s likely you’ll get a flat tyre at some point, and the burnt out wrecks we spotted on the side of the road was a sobering reminder that accidents often happen. We just bought car insurance with the company we booked with and they fully refunded us for the tyre we needed to replace on our trip with no questions asked.

• Toyota Corolla hire for 12 days with Rentalcars.com  $565 (N$10635)
• 12 days of full car insurance: $164 (N$3090)
• Cost of petrol for 12 days:  $228 (N$4290)
• Cost of shuttle transfer at Sossusvlei to get to Deadvlei: $9 (N$170) 

The total cost of my share of transportation expenses in Namibia over two weeks was: $487.50.

The Cost of Food in Namibia

The cost of eating in Namibia varied from place to place.

When we were staying in or driving through towns, we could grab a meal for $5-10, but when staying in the lodges, there were no alternative places to eat at unless we fancied a four-hour round trip (we did not), so we were at the mercy of their pricing. We never felt ripped off, but we didn’t exactly feel like we’d gotten a bargain either.

The most expensive meals from our time in Namibia was the ones we had at the lodges in Etosha National Park. There, they charged almost $20 for what was often a pretty average buffet dinner. In general, though, we paid around $7-10 for breakfast, $10 for lunch, and $15-20 for dinner.

One benefit of the buffets, at least, was the variety of different game meat on offer that meant I could try all sorts of things without having to take a chance on just one dish. I had kudu, oryx, zebra, and impala, which were all great, but my favourite was definitely the warthog! 

We generally had our best meals on the coast; seafood for obvious reasons, but other things as well. That’s at least partially due to there just being a lot more options there: there’s not much pressure to make amazing food if the nearest competition is several hours away!

In Swakopmund, for example, we had a great breakfast at Village Cafe. Dave had a breakfast of bacon, sausage, egg, and toast for $4 ($N70) , with a big mug of coffee for another $1.30 ($N24) . I really enjoyed my smoked salmon roll with scrambled egg ($5.60/$N105) and orange juice ($1.40/$N26) . That night, we went for a very good meal at Bits ‘n Pizzas, where I had a delicious veggie supreme pizza ($10.50/$N190) .

Snacks are an essential part of road tripping in Namibia, as you’ll rarely be near to a restaurant when you want to eat. At all times we carried a bunch of potato chips, water, and fruit and replaced them every few days when we passed through a town. We’d often eat them while out exploring in Etosha, since it was too far to go back to a camp for lunch.

The total cost of my food in Namibia over two weeks was: $448.

The Cost of Activities/Entrance Fees in Namibia

Activities and entrance fees were reasonable in Namibia and I didn’t feel as though anything we did was overpriced. The most expensive activity of our trip was the seal-watching tour we jumped on in Walvis Bay, which came in at $70. For that, we spent three hours on a catamaran, drinking champagne, eating some of the best oysters of our lives, and spotting seals along the coastline. We even spotted the super-rare and super-weird sunfish , which totally made the trip for me.

Aside from that, the biggest expenses we encountered were entrance fees, which didn’t feel extreme. You can read more about each activity we did in the links below, from visiting the amazing ghost town of Kolmanskop (in the photo above) to scaling the dunes at Soussusvlei, wildlife spotting in Etosha National Park, and plenty more!

• A seal-watching tour in Walvis Bay :  $70 (N$1320)
• Entrance to Kolmanskop ghost town + photography permit:  $19 (N$350)
• Entrance to Etosha National Park :  $8 (N$150) per day
• Entrance to Sossusvlei :  $8 (N$150)

The total cost of my activities and entrance fees in Namibia over two weeks was: $121.

The Cost of Random Stuff in Namibia

Anti-malarial tablets:  Anyone who thinks anti-malarials are worse than malaria has never had cerebral malaria. Namibia has malaria in the north of the country, so I took malarone for the four days I was in a high-risk area, followed by the next seven days, as required. I opted for generic malarone tablets from Nomad Travel Clinic on Bond Street, London, which are priced at  $2.85 per tablet . Doxycycline is a much cheaper alternative at $0.32 per tablet , but requires you to also take the tablets daily for a month after you leave the country and is an antibiotic, which I try to avoid taking if at all possible.

Namibian SIM card:  We picked up a SIM card at Windhoek Airport upon arrival and it was simple to do. The SIM card costs 50 US cents and 2 GB of data was a whopping $2.50 . We didn’t have much coverage in the country, but it was useful to have at times, and we definitely didn’t need more than 2GB over our two weeks.

Travel insurance:  You know I’ll always yell at you if you’re dumb enough to skip out on travel insurance , but in Namibia, it’s an essential. Why? Because Namibia has the highest car-accident death rate in the world, with 45 people killed on the road for every 100,000 citizens. On top of that, malaria hangs out in the northern parts of the country, and there are several other awful-sounding tropical diseases that you definitely don’t want to contract. 

Travel insurance  will cover you if your flight is cancelled and you need to book a new one, if your luggage gets lost and you need to replace your belongings, if you suddenly get struck down by appendicitis and have to be hospitalised, or discover a family member has died and you need to get home immediately. If you fall seriously ill, your insurance will cover the costs to fly you home to receive medical treatment.

I use  SafetyWing  as my travel insurance provider, and recommend them for trips to Namibia. Firstly, they’re one of the few companies out there who will actually cover you if you contract COVID-19. On top of that, they provide worldwide coverage, don’t require you to have a return ticket, and even allow you to buy coverage after you’ve left home. If you’re on a long-term trip, you can pay monthly instead of up-front, and can cancel at any time. Finally, they’re more affordable than the competition, and have a clear, easy-to-understand pricing structure, which is always appreciated.

With SafetyWing, you’ll pay  $1.50 a day  for travel insurance.

Bradt Namibia Guidebook : $23.  If you’re planning a trip to Namibia, you need this guidebook . Not only was it essential for planning our trip, but we used it on an hourly basis while we were in country. Of particular help was the route advice for which roads were best to take, restaurant recommendations for tiny towns, the super-helpful map and waterhole information for Etosha, and the animal identification section. I can’t recommend it enough — make sure you bring a copy with you.

What to Know About Money in Namibia

• The Namibian dollar is pegged to the South African Rand, and you can use both within the country. It was common to pay and receive change in a mixture of both currencies.
• ATMs can be found in most towns of a decent size. Neither Dave nor I had issues with withdrawing money with our (Australian/New Zealand/British/Portuguese) debit cards and they worked in every ATM. It was common for there to be security guards stationed beside the machines.
• It’s worth taking advantage of every opportunity to take money out of the ATM, especially if you know you’ll be heading out away from any major towns for a while. Paying by card was possible in most lodges and restaurants, but wasn’t an option everywhere. Make sure you keep cash on you for local restaurants, small lodges, gas stations, and for tipping.

My Total Expenses for Two Weeks in Namibia

Accommodation: $664.25 Transportation: $487.50 Food: $448 Activities/Entrance Fees: $121 Miscellaneous: $115

Total amount spent over two weeks: $1835

Average daily amount spent: $153 per day

And for anyone who’s interested, if I’d been travelling solo and not splitting accommodation and transport costs with my boyfriend, my total expenses would have been  $2979 , and my average daily amount  $248 . Yikes!

Namibia: Expensive but Totally Worth It!

I get it: Namibia is totally a hard sell when it’s so goddamn expensive, but guys, if you have the means to visit, it’s 100% worth the splurge. I promise you’ll have the absolute time of your life there.

And if you’re cool with camping, you’ll most likely end up spending half as much as I did within the country.

Where’s the most expensive country you’ve ever travelled to?

Yikes – pretty high priced for a solo traveler, but nothing seemed all that bad when being split between a couple. In fact, it was roughly the price of an all-inclusive resort type of vacation, but what a vastly different and amazing experience!

The high car accident death rate is a little scary, though. However, I’d want to see why before making any judgement on that.

Also, I’m with you on spending extra on malaria pills to skip taking an antibiotic.

Yes! I guess that’s true — I’ve never done the all-inclusive thing, so it was pretty expensive compared to my normal budget of around $50 a day. But so worth it!

The car crashes are mostly due to people speeding on the gravel roads. In fact, our rental car was fitted with a speed sensor that would alert the hire company if we ever went over the speed limit, and then we wouldn’t have been covered by insurance. As long as you stay under the speed limit, you drastically reduce your risk of anything going wrong.

after reading your posts on Namibia, you absolutely convinced me to go there in November, although I am a bit concerned about the fact that it might be rainy..

Can you share you high level itinerary for your 2-weeks stay in the country?

Ovita: 1 night Halali: 2 nights Okaukuejo: 1 night Vingerklip: 1 night Swakopmund: 3 nights Sesriem: 2 nights Betta Camp: 1 night Kairos: 1 night Maltahohe: 1 night

And all the accommodation is linked in the post

It seems quite cheap to me.try to have the same holiday in Europe and you will spend three times the price. Also, I have never been in a trip where my most expensive meal was 20$ – this would rather be one the low side of dinner.

Yes, being European myself, and having travelled to every country in Europe, I’m aware of the costs of a holiday in Europe.

Keep in mind that prices for Namibia do double during high season, though — so a $120 a night guesthouse could easily grow to $260 a night in the most popular month to visit. And the main difference between Namibia expenses and European expenses is that the properties I included in this article are the cheapest ones in the entire country! In European cities, you can stay in hostels and cheap guesthouses for $20-50 a night; you can take public transport to save money, eat street food, etc — those options simply don’t exist in Namibia.

But perhaps I take a more global view to these articles. I have around 80 budget breakdowns on this site, for countries all around the world! It’s not unusual to pay $1-2 for dinner in the vast majority of the non-Western world, making $20 for dinner relatively expensive. If you hail from Europe, then yes, that seems cheap; if you live in India, it’ll seem wildly overpriced. Relative to every country on the planet, Namibia is one of the most expensive ones — and if you usually travel on a budget, you probably can’t justify those costs.

I’m surprised it was so expensive. The prices don’t look too bad though! I’m sure it was totally worth it anyway.

-Rachel @ Backcountry Petite

Yep, definitely worth it! Just a shame there aren’t any real budget options for backpackers in the country — some hostels or $30 a night guesthouses would make it a much more attainable destination for a lot of people.

This sounds like an amazing experience. I hope you share more photos on Instagram! The thing I’d be most afraid of is flooding my body with so many preventative pills. Did you experience any weird side effects?

Would you prefer to die from malaria? Because that’s the risk you take when avoiding taking the pills. That’s why it’s worth it for me. Never had any side effects from them and neither has Dave — Malarone is super safe and the doctor I saw at my travel clinic said she’s never heard of anyone having any side effects from taking it.

Malaria can be fatal. The pills are safe. This is a non-negotiable, as far as I’m concerned. I am a doctor.

I have taken Malarone (a proprietary combination medication) for maybe 4 trips. I have not had malaria. I got zero side effects. I gave it to my son when he was 8 years old. He got a couple of bloody noses that were very mild while taking Malarone. He did not get malaria.

Malaria is in the top-10 causes of death in the world. It is more preventable than it is treatable. Don’t be an idiot.

Perfect post, Laura! I went to Namibia in October last year and spent similar amounts to you two. It’s not cheap for backpackers but as you say, it’s worth it.

Absolutely :-)

Thanks a lot for the detailed budget split, we are planning to do a self drive around Namibia around next year and its a very nice intro how much its going to cost us, we need to start saving up from now onwards :)

Oh, perfect! Glad it could be of use for you guys :-)

Honestly, I`m not surprised it`s been expensive (these in-the-middle-of-nowhere lodges always are in Africa). What amazes me is that there`s actually a fare for visiting the ghost town (even an additional fare to take photos). How can they charge you for visiting an abandoned place?

Kolmanskop is in a restricted area of Namibia, so you have to pay for a permit in order to enter the area and see it.

I see. They`ve found a way to get some extra money from tourists ;)

Yup! Although the money does go towards renovating the town, which has positives and negatives. It stops it from falling apart, but also makes it look weirdly brand new in some buildings.

Yikes indeed! I know that Africa is general is an expensive country to travel in but this is more than I thought it would be. I have only traveled in Lesotho, Egypt and South Africa in Africa, and would love to travel to Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar but I think I will be putting it off until a point when I am earning more. Thanks for the cost break-down.

Yeah, you could definitely do it for cheaper if you were happy to camp, but other than that, it works out to be pretty expensive!

Love you budget breakdowns Lauren! Namibia sounds a bit too expensive for me right now (don’t want to camp either!) so I’ll save my visit for when I’m earning more money. Looks fabulous though!

Yeah, if you don’t want to camp, your options are pretty limited. You could take buses between the major cities and towns, but you’d be preventing yourself from seeing what makes Namibia so great: the desert lodges in the middle of nowhere. They were one of my biggest highlights from Namibia, so I wouldn’t recommend skipping over them to save some money.

Namibia is one place I’ve always wanted to visit. Thank you so much for the interesting budget breakdown. It’ll be helpful when I finally go to Namibia.

Glad you found it helpful, Shawna!

This is actually a really useful post. What are your thoughts on staying outside of Etosha National Park to save money on the expensive lodges within the park? I don’t want to lessen our experience there, but we can save a lot of money through doing that.

Good question! I have to say that I felt the lodges within Etosha offered the worst value for money on our trip. But at the same time, they weren’t terrible and there were a lot of advantages to staying inside the park. For starters, you get to start exploring at sunrise without having to queue up at the gates at the entrance, so you see more animals, which are more active in the morning. And on top of that, the lodges within the park have waterholes you can sit at all day for easier animal viewing.

So overall, it probably won’t be as kickass if you stay outside the park, but I’d imagine you’d still see plenty of animals and have an amazing experience if you did opt for that.

How much would it be likely to cost if you wanted to travel around on the tightest budget possible? So, camping or dorms, etc?

Transportation will be your highest cost, as we went for the cheapest option and it was $35 a day. Camping will be less, ranging from a few dollars a night to $35 a night in some places, and food can be done on the cheap if you grab snacks from the supermarket or eat only in the towns/cities, rather than the lodges. With that in mind, I’d estimate you’d spend around $50 per person a day if you were trying to do it as cheaply as possible.

Incredible guide, Lauren. I’m really enjoying your detailed budget breakdowns you’ve been posting lately.

Thank you so much!

Namibia is amazing and I hope this post doesn’t put people off. I traveled during low season with a tent and thus saved a ton of money by camping most of the time. But there ARE hostels and cheaper places to stay if you look for them – you won’t find all of them online. Element Riders in Ludderitz has dorm beds that were NAD100 when I was there (around $6 at the time); Amanzi Trails near the South African border had a chalet for $32; I stayed in $30-40/night hotels/B&Bs in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, and Grootfontein and I think some campsites have simple rooms in the same price range. Some even give you access to a kitchen. The book Tracks4Africa is a good supplement to the Bradt guide for finding these options. For those with flexible schedules, the backpacker network on the ground is alive and well. In the few hostels that exist in Namibia and Botswana, people often hang around long enough to form a group to share car and camping gear hire costs then set off together.

Thanks for sharing, Marbree! I really appreciate it, and it’s great to hear it’s possible to visit for far cheaper than we did :-)

Yeah, sounds similar to how much we spent in Namibia. You can do it for cheaper if you camp or stay in the major towns and cities, but as you say, the best parts of Namibia are not those places! Great post.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t want to visit Namibia and just see the cities, as the small lodges in the middle of nowhere were a definite highlight for me.

$1583 was quite a good deal for a two weeks expedition in Namibia. I plan on visiting for a month before this year ends so found this very helpful. Thanks!

No problem! Hope you have a wonderful time there :-)

Great place and amazing ideas shared by you to visit Namibia.

Awesome read! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for reading! :-)

This was so helpful. Going for exactly two weeks and seems like we travel in a similar style. THANK YOU!

Yay! Hope you have an amazing time, Erin! :-)

Hi Lauren, nice entry. I thought Namibia must be crazy expensive if you do not camp. We recently traveled in Namibia for 10 weeks our monthly budget was Total: NAD24013/US$1770 or average NAD400/US$30 per person per day. I am South African so we drove our own car and we camped the whole way making it a lot cheaper! Many travelers rent a 4×4 with rooftop tent starting from about $75 per day, this includes camping gear, but obviously not petrol. I do not want to post links on your blog, but we did write an Namibia Road Trip ebook, that could be helpful to anyone going that way.

Right. Most people aren’t going to have their own car, though, so it’s not super helpful for non-South Africans.

Perfect advice. Have seen a lot of articles on Namibia on a budget but most of these are by authors who are driving their own vehicle across the country. Doesn’t count! Appreciate your review with a traveler’s perspective.

Thanks so much, Ben! I agree — most visitors to Namibia are not going to have their own transport, and that’s really going to increase their costs.

What’s your take on hiring a car vs hiring a car with a driver/guide? I’ve been reading mixed reviews, with some people recommending avoiding self drive at all costs (driving on the left, long distances in sparsely populated areas, gravel roads, spotty reception), while others rave about it. We’re a couple planning on going next year for two weeks and the quotes I’ve been given for a tailor made tour are way to expensive for us.

I personally would have avoided taking a driver, but that’s because my boyfriend could tackle the roads without much of an issue. I guess it depends on how confident you feel about driving over gravel, and how much money you’ll save with that option. But I definitely wouldn’t say to avoid it at all costs — it was one of the best parts of being in Namibia, and I loved feeling as though my boyfriend and I were the only two people in the world.

In a country you were new in, how hard was it driving yourselves around. You ever missed your way?

I cover that in my Namibia travel guide! :-)

Was it safe to travel there? And what is the best time?

We are planning to go there in August.

Really, really safe! Outside of Windhoek you really don’t need to worry about anything. August is a great month! You’ll see a ton of animals at Etosha, but keep in mind it’ll likely be pretty chilly too.

Many thanks for the guidance Lauren, much appreciated.

My wife and I are booked on a month-long 4×4 adventure im Arch 2019 and are staying at or close to some of the locations you mention. Whilst we may have longer we know that there are so many places and things to see in Namibia. I do have a couple of questions:

1. What are the most memorable places any visitor should see in Namibia? 2. I’ve heard but not confirmed that US dollars are also useful currency, true?

Hi Lauren, Would you recommend traveling to Namibia with kids? My husband and I have been dreaming of visiting Namibia for years but wanted to wait until the kids were a bit older. They are 11 and 12. Did you see many traveling families on your journey? Thanks!

Oh, yeah, definitely! It’s such a safe country and I think they’d really enjoy seeing the animals. I saw lots of families.

Hi Lauren I’ve heard that you need to have cash and that credit cards aren’t accepted in most places. Did you find this the case? Are there ATM’s in most country towns?

I read someone here saying that Africa is an expensive country to travel to. Please, people, Africa is a continent with 54 countries and not a country! They have many different cultures in one continent, different places, different conditions, different prices.

Yes! It’s one of the most diverse continents on the planet. Namibia is nothing like Morocco is nothing like Mozambique is nothing like Ghana is nothing like Ethiopia.

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience! I`m planning to visit Namibia with my family and friends in February next year , but I`ve read that this isn`t the best time because of the rain and hot temperatures. I know South Africa`s summer (which is the best time to visit SA according to my experience). Is Namibia similar? We plan to land in Windhoek, then drive North to Etosha, West to Damaraland and South to Swakopmund and continue South to Sesriem. SO, basically, kind of following your path.. What do you think about the timing?

Hi Maryla! I went in March and personally didn’t find the temperatures to be too hot, and also only had one day of rain. Of course, this is just an anecdote rather than evidence that the same will be true for you. But I didn’t feel like I visited at a terrible time of year. I wouldn’t let it put you off. Oh, and the added bonus is that the prices of accommodation will be discounted by as much as 50% in February.

The only thing I would say is that Etosha is likely to be a disappointment. I wrote a blog post about visiting in the rainy season and shared that it was a struggle to see anything while we were there. The grasses are long, the animals avoid the waterholes, and you tend to end up spending hours just driving around seeing very little.

Hi Guys. This is kondja, born and bred in Namibia.

I love Lauren’s article so much, it reflects the truth about traveling in namibia. The trick you all dont know is that when you foreigners make bookings yourselves, the prices are most likely to be inflated. Also you guys rely mostly on booking online, which is mostly expensive, thirdly you guys use USD, again, inflated. You would save more money if you have a local friend to do bookings for you. Ofcoz its difficult to trust a stranger, but you can always get hold of someone working at the tour guide operators to assist you.

Try that and see how much you would save.

Im glad you guys love to visit our beautiful country. We are peace loving people. in Africa, Namibia is one of the safest countries, and also one of the cleanest.

Amazing breakdown on the travel details for Namibia.

I have been in liaison with several tour operators for travel fixing across the country or even just based in one location, i.e Etosha, but the charges are extortionate ! For a seven day quote with private vehicle and guide cost only, this comes up close to $US 4000 and excludes lodging and various misc fees.

We are a party of two on a twin sharing basis, but this quotations still seem rather absurd whichever way one looks as it. I’ve traveled through Sub Saharan Africa on multiple occasions before, but somehow these private quotes for Namibia are somewhat outrageous, even more so than Botswana which I understand to be the costliest of the lot of African countries for a safari venture.

We are apprehensive of a self drive method and ideally would like to be driven, what’s your take here ?

Thanks and Regards,

I’d definitely recommend going for a self-drive, as $4000 excluding accommodation is outrageously expensive! Yes, the roads are bad, but if you take things slow, you should be fine.

SO HELPFUL! Thank you! I can’t believe how expensive it is but I know it’s going to be worth it.

Hi Lauren, is it correct that you cost of travel for Namibia relates to 2917 and not as stated in the titel to 2023?! Asking as we are looking to travel this year and I guess the pandemic situation has raised prices immensly. Thx.

Nope, prices are for 2023. Which prices are you seeing as having increased? I had a quick look and everything seemed to be accurate. (Don’t forget that we visited during the low, wet season, so prices were cheaper).

Hi Lauren. Thanks for sharing this fantastic information. We are in the very early stages of planning for June 2024 and are torn between self-drive and going with a group. When I look at car hire, many of the general conditions mention that cars can’t be driven on gravel roads. Is this an issue in Namibia where most of the roads seem to be gravel or do the car companies not worry about this? Thanks

10 ways to travel on a budget in Namibia

Oct 19, 2023 • 6 min read

With this guide to daily costs, it is possible to tour Namibia on a budget © Anastasiia Shavshyna / Getty Images

Namibia has magnificent desert vistas, soaring dunes, a long, wild coastline and excellent tourism infrastructure.

Its good road network and multitude of well-outfitted camping sites make it ideal for independent travelers. However, distances are long, lodges are expensive and costs can quickly mount up. The biggest areas to save are transport and accommodation. Here are our top tips for creating an affordable Namibian adventure, along with a guide to daily costs.

Daily costs in Namibia

• Dorm bed in a backpacker’s hostel: from US$20
• Basic room for two: from US$50
• Managed campsite: US$150 per person
• Self-catering apartment (including Airbnb): from US$65
• Coffee: from US$1.50
• Lunch: from US$10
• Dinner for two: from US$30
• Beer at the bar: US$2
• Small packet of biltong: US$2
• 4WD rental vehicle including rooftop tent: from US$100 per day

Average daily cost: US$110–350

1. Fly to South Africa and take a bus to Namibia

Only a handful of airlines fly into Namibia. While good deals are sometimes available from Europe (Frankfurt, Germany is the Namibia hub), it often works out cheaper to fly into Johannesburg or Cape Town and then continue by bus or plane into Namibia. Intercape has a direct bus between Cape Town and Windhoek , and connecting service between Windhoek and Johannesburg, with prices starting about US$65 one way.

If you’re planning a regional itinerary, there are also buses between Johannesburg and Gaborone ( Botswana ), where a shuttle goes a few times weekly to Windhoek. Flying into Windhoek from either Cape Town or Johannesburg takes only two hours. If you book early enough, you can get tickets from US$150 one-way.

2. Travel during the low season

December through March marks the wet season in Namibia . Once the Christmas–New Year holidays are over, the crowds disappear and many accommodation and tour prices are reduced. Rates for lodge accommodation, in particular, can drop by up to 40% in comparison with in-season prices.

While the wetter months are not ideal for viewing large herds of wildlife, they are an excellent time for birding and seeing newborn animals. Green, wildflower-clad landscapes are another highlight, and you'll have many areas mostly to yourself. Summer rains are typically isolated and brief, mainly occurring in the form of heavy afternoon thunderstorms. By timing your excursions in the morning, you’ll still be able to get around and can relax and enjoy the welcome rain. The main exception to this is in the far north, where rains are heavier and some areas can become inaccessible.

3. Self-drive your way around the country

If you’re traveling in a group, self-drive is a safe and economical alternative to a fully guided experience, and Namibia’s good road network makes it easy. A week-long scheduled group tour starts at around US$1,500 per person, while a 4-person 4WD vehicle outfitted for camping will cost from about US$650 for this same period plus the cost of fuel. Fuel costs are currently about US$1 per liter; plan on about US$50 per day or more, depending on your itinerary.

Namibia is easy to navigate and clearly signposted. Though only about 25% of the roadways are tar, the gravel roads are well-kept and generally more scenic – some are spectacular. Flat tires are the most common driver issue, so your vehicle will come with two spares. You'll want to make sure you know how to change one before your trip, and seriously consider the tire and windscreen insurance offered by rental companies.

4. If you’re traveling solo, try out Namibia's shuttle service

Born out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global shortage of rental cars, the Gondwana Collection launched a shuttle service called Go2 Traveller Transfers . It stops at nine different areas of interest : the Kalahari, Fish River Canyon , Sossusvlei , Swakopmund , Etosha and Damaraland . At each designated stop, lodges will arrange for pick-ups and returns. At about US$45 per leg, the service offers travelers a reliable, affordable, safe, and more environmentally friendly alternative to self-driving. 

The drawback is that you'll need to stay in lodges and tented camps and pay for their excursions. But with the rising cost of fuel and high demand for rental cars, this option may work out to be more affordable for solo travelers.

5. Join a scheduled camping tour

It’s also possible to join a scheduled guided camping program, such as those offered by  Chameleon Safaris . Durations vary from three to 15 days and start at around US$500 per person. They typically include everything apart from drinks and water.

This is also a great option for solo travelers and those interested in meeting others and sharing experiences. Because the logistics are taken care of and food and fuel are included, you won’t be hit with surprise costs.

6. Stay at Namibia's vast network of campgrounds

Namibia has an abundance of organized campsites throughout the country, which are clean and affordable with good amenities. Not only will you save a ton on lodging, but it's also an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded people, exchange stories and travel tips and really get a feel for the country’s wild, empty spaces and clear night skies.

The average site costs US$30 (or US$10 per person) and has shared bathrooms, hot showers and fire pits with grills at each spot. Some camps even have shops selling food, water and other basic provisions.

7. Mix it up by staying in budget lodges and self-catering apartments

Budget lodges are plentiful in Namibia. They're located all across the country and are clean, some with refreshing pools, starting at just US$25 per night for a room with a shared bathroom. Self-catering apartments and homes average from US$65 per night for the entire place. These types of accommodations are ideal for spending a night or two between campsites. A nice hot shower and some air conditioning can help you reset and get ready for the next leg of your adventure.

8. Spend your days in Namibia’s affordable national parks

Namibia's national parks are exceptionally diverse: expansive sand dunes, vast deserts, plunging canyons, ancient salt pans and dramatic coastlines. While the country currently doesn’t offer a national park pass, entry fees are nominal. The government has added a small conservation fee to each park, bringing the total to about US$7 per person per day at most parks. Children aged eight and below enter parks for free.

9. Stock up on groceries at the beginning of your trip

Namibia's roads offer few opportunities to stop for a bite until you reach your destination, so it’s essential to shop for necessities like snacks and water before you head out. Some self-drive vehicles are equipped with a small refrigerator, allowing you to stock up and save on more than just the basics.

If you're camping or staying in an apartment, you'll have everything you need to prepare your own meal upon arrival instead of going to a restaurant in town, saving time and money. Braai (barbecue) facilities are everywhere, and sitting under the stars with dinner grilling nearby is a fabulous Namibian experience. 

10. Take advantage of child and "pensioner" discounts

Children’s (generally 12 and under) and pensioners’ discounts (for those 60 years of age and older) are available almost everywhere in Namibia for accommodation and entry fees, so always ask if these categories apply to you. Some places also offer student discounts.

IDYLLIC CAMPS, LODGES, FARMS AND GUESTHOUSES IN STUNNING AND ACCESSIBLE LOCATIONS

After a long day on the open road, we know how important it is to arrive at a welcoming home away from home. On our Namibia self-drive tours, you overnight at hand-selected guesthouses, farms, camps, and lodges. When suggesting accommodations, we focus on personal ambience, attentive service, and excellent value for money. Our team regularly visits and re-visits the most popular accommodations as well as hidden gems to be up to date on any new developments and changes. This way, we can recommend you the best camp, or guesthouse that fits your expectations and needs – whether you’re looking for a luxurious lodge or a family-run guest farm. Whichever you choose, on your Namibia self-drive safari, you will spend the night in stunning locations in the middle of nature.

When suggesting accommodations for your self-drive trip, we focus on personal and intimate camps with a welcoming character – like the Waterberg Guestfarm.

You can choose between guesthouses, guest farms, lodges or tented camps – like the family-friendly and down to earth Mushara Bush Camp just outside Etosha National Park.

Camps like the Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch offer activities such as scenic sundowner drives which self-drivers are welcome to join as well.

Standards range from back to basics to highly luxurious. What they all have in common: stunning locations yet easily accessible – like the Ai-Aiba Rock Paintings Lodge in the Erongo Mountains.

Some camps, like the Elegant Desert Eco Camp in the Namib, even have swimming pools to take a dip after a long day on the road.

What to expect on a Namibia self-drive safari

For the independent and intrepid traveller, a self-drive safari is a particularly unique way to explore Namibia, surely one of the best countries in the world for a self-drive adventure. Our self-drive safari itineraries are carefully handpicked to ensure you get the most out of your time in Namibia, but without having to compromise on comfort and peace of mind.

As you might expect, on a self-drive holiday, you drive yourself in your 2×4 or 4×4 rental car from one destination to the next. Along the way, we have included exciting activities into your itinerary: a visit to a seal colony, walking up and running down the sand dunes of Sossusvlei , or looking for the desert adapted elephants of the Damaraland . Depending on location and activity, you can join guided experiences as well. Your accommodation may offer a guided sunset drive, a nature walk or a game drive together with a professional guide in Etosha National Park . This way, you get the best of both worlds.

What to see and where to stay on our self-drive safaris

Namibia is a special country for self-drivers, with staggeringly beautiful and largely unadulterated landscapes and plenty of opportunities to get far from the beaten track. But it’s also generally more accessible than many other African countries, with good amenities, roads and infrastructure, which means you don’t have to be a hardened pro to have a memorable self-drive adventure.

Generally speaking, you can experience the same activities and visit the same landmarks as you would on a guided safari. On our Namibia Highlights safari, you’ll explore iconic destinations including Etosha National Park, Swakopmund and Sossusvlei at your own pace. Our North of Namibia  safari will have you traversing some of the most wild and ruggedly spectacular reaches of the country, while our longer options also take you across the border into beautiful Botswana.

We will arrange a reliable and durable vehicle (either 2×4 or 4×4, depending on your itinerary and preference) with all the equipment you might need for your safari. We work with only the most trusted and reputed local car rental agencies. We arrange all your accommodation for you based on our extensive experience of Namibia, leaving you to focus your attention on the joys of the open road. You will overnight in a range of idyllic and well-located lodges and camps, giving you easy access to the country’s many highlights.

Cross-border self-drive tours: Namibia, Botswana, South Africa & Victoria Falls

Namibia is home to many highlights of Southern African travel. But so are its neighbours Botswana and South Africa. On crossing-border self-drive trips, you can experience it all: the Namib Desert as well as the Okavango Delta, Etosha as well as Chobe National Park and even Cape Town in South Africa or the Victoria Falls in Zambia or Zimbabwe. That doesn’t mean crossing-border self-drive holidays have to be stressful – when planning your itinerary, we make sure to include a few days that are more relaxing and see you spending more than one night in one place. It’s not just about ticking off the sites but enjoying the big and small moments along the way. You can cross the country borders in your rental car; eventually returning to the place you started your journey or drop your car in another bigger town or city. No matter the itinerary, on self-drive tours in Southern Africa you should be prepared to spend many hours and kilometres in the car – after all, the journey is the destination.

Who should go on a self-drive safari in Namibia

Travellers who are looking for a tailor-made experience, flexibility and privacy should choose either a private guided safari, or a self-drive safari. Other than on our guided group safaris, you will travel with your friends and family only and can adapt your itinerary to your personal preferences. On a self-drive tour, you are behind the wheel, decide when and where to stop and enjoy ultimate privacy. A road trip in Namibia will always include at least some days with long driving distances and you should be a confident and somewhat experienced driver. Knowing how to change a tire without assistance is crucial on long and lonely gravel roads when other people let alone car repair shops are far and few between. We not only book your rental car but also your accommodations. This means your trip does follow a set structure. However, you still have the option to stop along the way or spend a day at leisure. Many accommodations and national parks offer guided activities open to book for self-drive travellers. When joining a guided activity, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. If you’re looking for an adventurous road trip that offers maximum flexibility but follows a pre-booked itinerary for peace of mind, our Namibia self-drive tours are for you.

My 10 Days Northern Namibia, Damaraland, Coast & Sossusvlei Camping Safari was one of my best trips ever, without a doubt. Everything went smoothly, nothing to add. Since the beggining of the trip (and I booked just 10 days before the start of the trip), the manager of the company was very professional and fast to answer all my questions. I never did much camping before, so I was a bit anxious on this part, but all things went so well! Our guide was such a nice guy (and cooked so well...), that these 10 days felt like a few hours. From my picking up the airport, the transport, the food, the camping, such a nice trip overall. Even though there are always unpredictable things, all was solved and I can honestly complement Blue Crane for their professionalism and a great trip! I will miss Namibia. Hopefully I can return again soon.

THERE'S an overlooked seaside town in the UK that 's home to a Blue Flag Beach with stretches of golden sand and an affordable holiday park.

Located in East Yorkshire , Withernsea is a small seaside resort town that has a rare inland lighthouse as well as a pair of historic towers.

Withernsea is an often overlooked holiday spot, with most Brits heading to places like Whitby, Hornsea and Robin Hood's Bay instead.

Even though it may not spring to mind when planning a staycation in the UK, Withernsea has plenty of draws, including its golden sandy beach .

Despite not being named one of the World's Best Sustainable Beaches by TripAdvisor , Withernsea is home to a Blue Flag Beach, which means the water at the beach is of excellent quality.

Popular activities at Withernsea Beach include sailing, windsurfing and kayaking, with lifeguards on duty in the summer .

The redeveloped promenade, which is located near the golden sandy beach, features numerous cafes, chippies and pubs .

Other facilities include toilets, a first aid point and car parking on the street.

There are plenty of other attractions in Withernsea, including a rare inland lighthouse .

Known for its breathtaking views overlooking both the town and the coast, Withernsea Lighthouse Museum is rated as the best thing to do in the seaside town on TripAdvisor.

Built in 1892, a quarter of a mile away from the coast, the octagonal lighthouse was in operation until 1976.

Visitors can now climb 144 steps to the top of the lighthouse where they can take in views overlooking the Holderness coastline .

Those Brit holidaymakers who've braved the climb will be able to spot the Humber Gateway wind farm as well as passing vessels in the North Sea.

Outside, there's also the Tranquil Garden where free exhibitions are held.

Withernsea Lighthouse Museum opens for the summer season on June 17, 2024, and it will be open every day of the week from 11am until 5pm.

Entry tickets cost £4.50 for a full-paying adult and £3.50 for children.

Another impressive architectural structure are the town's historic pier towers , which were first built in 1877.

The towers cost £12,000 to erect, with holidaymakers being charged one penny to enter.

In the next two decades, several ships collided with the pier, and it was deemed unsafe in 1893.

The parts of the pier that were still standing were removed, with just two support legs left on the beach.

Today, just the historic pier towers remain.

Brit holidaymakers who want to visit Withernsea will be able to book an affordable overnight stay at Withernsea Sands Holiday Park .

Operated by Parkdean Resorts , Withernsea Sands Holiday Park is just a short walk from Withernsea Beach.

In addition to its close proximity to the beach, the holiday park also has an indoor pool.

Sun Online Travel have found three-night stays at Withernsea Sands Holiday Park from £129 for a two-bed caravan.

Withernsea is a 31-minute drive from Hull , and it's 90-minute drive from Grimsby.

Other seaside towns

There are plenty of other overlooked seaside towns to visit in the UK, including Hastings in Sussex.

While Hastings was once voted the "worst weekend stay" in the country by consumer watching Which?, the town's reputation was is starting to change thanks to a wave of new openings.

One of those places is the new Vive Hotel, which is set to attract even more tourists too, following a collaboration with the ex-owner of Es Vive in Ibiza.

Attractions in the town include Hastings Pier, Bottle Alley, a 1930s underpass with multicoloured lights made from broken bottles, and the East Cliff Railway.

Littlestone-on-Sea in Kent  is often overlooked by the nearby Folkestone, but is set to open a trendy new hotel next year.

Best staycation locations for 2024.

1.  Bristol

The arty harbour city was the  top spot on the list  and is bursting with culture and trendy cafes scattered along the River Avon.

A bubbling hub for creatives,  Bristol  is the birthplace of street artist  Banksy , and you can admire some of his best early works on a free walking tour.

The  Humberside port city  started to get  recognition last year , and it has a thriving nightlife scene - if that's something you're after.

The old town is crawling with history and classy buildings, whose walls have many stories to tell and The Deep is a fascinating aquarium attraction.

3.  Isles of Scilly

Just off the  Cornish  coast, it's easy to see why the archipelago made it into the top three.

Here, you can expect golden sandy beaches where you will be able to spot dolphins beyond the  shoreline , as well as seafront pubs serving up hearty grub.

And  Brean is expected to be popular in 2024 , with an award-winning holiday park and one of the longest sandy beaches in Europe.

And an  Italian seaside city  has been tipped as a top holiday hotspot for 2024.

Heart Extends Massive 2024 Reunion Tour with Shows in Nashville, L.A., N.Y.C. and More — See the Dates!

The rock legends will be setting out on tour along with Cheap Trick, BTO featuring Randy Bachman and Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening

After a five year hiatus, allow Heart to go "Crazy on You" with their thrilling live show and long-awaited return to the stage!

The rockers previously announced they were setting out on a massive tour in 2024 — marking their reunion and first run of live shows since 2019 — and, on Tuesday, Heart revealed they're expanding the dates. The group helmed by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson will now continue their run, titled the Royal Flush Tour, across North America through the end of the year, along with an A-list slate of special guests.

While the "Barracuda" group's shows this year were originally set to kick off in late April and wrap up by September, they'll now be out on the road through the fall until mid-December.

Heart's 2024 tour kicks off on April 20 in Greenville, South Carolina, continues in the U.S. through May, before heading to Europe for a handful of dates in June and July. On July 30, they'll resume their North American leg in Columbus, Ohio, and then play through the rest of the summer and into the fall.

The newly announced dates begin on Sept. 26 in San Francisco and last until Dec. 15 in Las Vegas. Fans will be able to catch the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees at stadiums in major cities like Los Angeles, Houston, Nashville, New York City, Vancouver, San Diego and many others.

Throughout the Royal Flush Tour, the "Magic Man" band will be joined by fellow rock legends Cheap Trick, and select shows will also include support from BTO featuring Randy Bachman and Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening, the project from the son of the English rock group's original drummer.

The Wilson sisters shared a statement in press release about the upcoming concerts.

"We’re so excited to announce more tour dates," Ann, 73, said. “The exceptional talent of the band — Ryan, Ryan, Paul, Tony and Sean — brings a whole new level of energy to Heart’s live performance."

Nancy, 70, added, "I am incredibly proud of the show that we have crafted and am looking forward to reconnecting with even more fans. We can’t wait to share our music with everyone and celebrate the big electric energy of a completely live on the spot rock show."

The Royal Flush Tour comes after the rock favorites celebrated their 50th anniversary last year.

It also marks their first time out on the road together since 2019, when the "Alone" group set out on their Love Alive Tour. At the time, the shows saw the Wilsons coming back together after the two experience a brief rift. (In 2016, Ann's husband,  Dean Wetter, assaulted Nancy's then-16-year-old sons  after they reportedly left a tour bus door open, which he pleaded guilty to two non-felony assault charges.)

Both Ann and Nancy also recently took time to record their own solo efforts: Ann with Fierce Bliss in 2022 and Nancy with You and Me in 2021.

The two hitmakers have both explained to PEOPLE in interviews that taking time apart only makes their work together in Heart stronger.

"[Taking time apart] allows us to bring stuff back to Heart that we didn't have before," Ann said in a 2022 interview . "We love each other. She and I really look forward to smooth sailing."

Meanwhile, Nancy shared in a 2021 conversation that it was "so amazing" to get back out on the road together on their 2019 tour. "I could see that the Heart fans really loved the big spectacle aspects of the show — even if Ann didn't love the bubble machine I had requested," she said. "But most of all we saw how much the Heart fans loved the Heart sisters reunited."

While the previously announced concerts are already on sale , tickets for the fall dates go on sale later this week. Ticket sales kick off with a presale for Citi cardmembers, which lasts from now until Thursday at 10 p.m. local time. The general on-sale will then follow on Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

It was just a total high. It felt like when you meet someone at a party and you’re in the corner all night being like, ‘Me too!’”.

I've traveled to 9 out of 10 countries in Southeast Asia. Here are the 5 biggest mistakes I made along the way.

• I've traveled solo to nine countries in Southeast Asia.
• I've made many mistakes, from traveling during monsoon season to forgetting to bring enough cash.
• Travelers should make sure they plan ahead and research each country's culture.

Over the last two years, my journey as a travel enthusiast and Business Insider's travel reporter in Singapore has brought me to almost every country in Southeast Asia.

In total, there are 10 countries in Southeast Asia , and I've traveled to nine of them — Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, and Brunei. Myanmar remains the only country in the region I have not visited, and while I am keen to explore it, I have held off on visiting because of the country's ongoing civil war.

I've watched the sun rise in Angkor Wat in Cambodia and cared for elephants in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I've explored the Bornean jungle in Brunei and crawled the Cu Chi Tunnels in southern Vietnam.

But it hasn't always been easy. I've made several mistakes traveling across the region , especially as a solo traveler. Here are five mistakes I made and how to avoid them.

1. Going during monsoon season and not planning for the weather.

In July, I traveled to Thailand on a reporting trip to cover the budding cannabis industry . There, I was met with heavy rain nearly every day. In Bangkok, I was staying in a hostel in Chakkrawat , a district with narrow, meandering streets, which made it difficult to walk anywhere in the pouring rain.

I didn't plan for the weather, so I didn't have an umbrella or poncho with me and had to rush to get one at the last minute. I also had a packed itinerary with a lot of travel between meetings, which was a hassle in the constant downpour.

Before traveling to Southeast Asia, make sure to avoid two seasons — the monsoon season, which often comes with strong typhoons in countries like the Philippines, and the burning season, where farmers burn land for fertile soil. This is a common occurrence in countries like Laos, Thailand, and the island of Borneo, which is shared between Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

When I traveled to Laos in April last year during the burning season , most of my plans — including a hot air balloon ride — were canceled because of the thick smog. I also didn't have an N95 mask with me, and I ended up with a sore throat.

If you do plan to come during these seasons, make sure to pack accordingly and plan a flexible schedule.

2. Traveling during Ramadan and expecting the same practices everywhere.

Having grown up in Singapore, I'm familiar with the practices during Ramadan , the holy month for Muslims, where they fast for most of the day. I studied Malay for seven years, and in school, I often fasted with my Muslim classmates and ate only in private.

Still, in many cities in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia , non-Muslims are free to dine in public, so long as they do so respectfully. But on my trip to Brunei in April — at the height of the burning season and in the middle of Ramadan — there were more practices I needed to observe.

Most restaurants were closed, and diners weren't allowed to eat there even if they were open — only take-out was allowed. Eating in public was a major faux pas even for non-Muslims, and if you want to drink some water, you can only do so when nobody is around.

It wasn't easy, especially as Brunei was sweltering at 100 degrees Fahrenheit on some days. I made do by returning to the hotel for lunch and grabbing a big dinner with the locals at the night market after they had broken their fast.

3. Not packing enough modest outfits when visiting temples and mosques.

Southeast Asia is pretty liberal, and you can wear whatever you want in many places. In popular destinations like Phuket, Thailand, and Bali, Indonesia, lots of tourists walk around in bikini tops and shorts, and locals mostly tolerate it.

But there are certain places you do need to cover up, like places of worship, which include temples and mosques. When I visited Angkor Wat — the famed temple complex in Cambodia — in February last year, I found some tourists being told off by the local tour guides for wearing shorts and tank tops — "Tomb Raider" style.

I've learned to err on the right side of caution and bring a sarong wherever I go. It's an easy way to cover up and make an outfit more modest when you need to.

4. Forgetting to pack medication, especially when I plan to eat street food.

Southeast Asia has some of the world's most flavorful food. In every country, you can find food that is cheap and delicious, and that includes Singapore , the world's most expensive city. In countries like Malaysia and Vietnam, street food dishes can cost as little as a dollar.

I eat mostly street food when I travel in Southeast Asia, so medicine for tummy-related illnesses is a must. I've only gotten sick twice from eating street food — and it was the same dish both times— and unfortunately, those were the few times I didn't have medicine with me.

I'm a pretty adventurous eater. I've eaten everything from pufferfish stew to frog porridge and dishes made with intestines off the street. I've learned to wash the utensils provided before digging in and make sure the food is cooked to order and heated up before being served.

5. Relying on my card and not bringing enough cash with me.

In Singapore, I don't really use cash and often use Apple Pay, mobile payments, and cards. But I've found that many stores in other countries in Southeast Asia only accept cash.

For example, on my third trip to Vietnam, I spent an hour trying to make payment via bank transfer after the staff at a luxury perfume shop — which was selling items priced upwards of $200 — informed me at the last minute that they didn't accept card or contactless payment.

I've also found the majority of street vendors in the region only accept mobile payment — which is limited to local banks — or cash. I've learned to change a considerable amount of money before leaving the airport and keep whatever I didn't use for my next trip.
