Backpacking or traveling in Namibia?

  • Namibia is beautiful! The landscapes are breathtaking, the nature is diverse, you can go off the beaten path and the people are incredibly warm-hearted. It is a very sparsely populated country set up for tourism. A good first entry point to the African continent! 
  • The country lends itself to both short and long vacations. For both backpackers and travelers, although it is a bit more difficult for the former to find cheap accommodation and activities. 
  • Activity spotting: climb the sand dunes of Sossusvlei, wander the Namib Desert, spot the big five in Etosha National Park, visit Fish River Canyon and the lurid skeleton coast, discover the history of Windhoek and Swakopmund, get to know the Himba and Herero peoples in the north, see the stars (yes really, one of the best places), go on self-organized safari.

Study in Namibia?

  • The quality of education in Namibia is okay and the choice of studies is relatively limited. It is an interesting country if you want to learn more about local development, African politics and colonial history. Further popular fields of study are business administration, engineering, social sciences and medicine. 
  • Language: Afrikaans & English.
  • Study city: Windhoek.

Internship in Namibia?

  • It is not easy to find an internship in Namibia, but if you look carefully there are opportunities, for example in the field of nature and animal protection or research, at social NGOs, in ecotourism and at universities as a researcher.
  • Competencies: do you succeed in finding an internship? Then you can develop the following competencies, among others - ecological skills, intercultural communication, adaptability and working in remote areas, independence, sustainability and environmental ethics.

Volunteer in Namibia?

  • As a volunteer in Namibia, you can work well in conservation and wildlife protection. In fact, the country is a forerunner in Africa in this field. You can also volunteer on horse ranches, in education and health care.

Working in Namibia?

  • Most expats were sent to Namibia by a company where they were already working. Namibia's economy has been stable for a long time and there are many jobs for expats with specific skills. Do keep in mind that the policy is to give preference to a local worker over an expat, which makes finding work a little more difficult. 
  • Work culture: learn about the Namibian handshake, a firm handshake, the crossing of thumbs before returning to a normal handshake. This happens particularly between male colleagues. Women greet each other with words, unless a woman is of higher seniority. Men and women greet each other with a simple Western handshake. Greetings are important in Namibia, as is smalltalk. 
Back to top

Working as a digital nomad in Namibia?

  • Namibia is a great country for digital nomads! There is an awful lot to experience, the people are tremendously hospitable and the combination of expats and locals means that there is a lot of variety in food and goods on offer. Facilities are good, with availability of coworking cafes and relatively good wifi in the larger cities. Also, the main language is English, which makes it easier to integrate into society and make new friends. 
  • Favorite locations: Windhoek, Swakopmund. 
  • Visa: a digital nomad visa is also available in Namibia these days. 
Back to top

Living in Namibia?

  • Namibia is one of the most popular countries for expats in Africa. This is mainly because of the high quality of life. The supermarkets have a lot, including Western offerings, the health centers are good, there are international schools and it is quite safe. 
  • In addition, people are tremendously open and friendly toward expats. So it is easy to get to know people and make new friends. 
  • Namibians love to chat, sometimes to the point of nonsense. Keep in mind that this “poop talk” (yes really!) and “braai” are also an important part of socializing! 
  • It does come in handy to have a car when living in Namibia. This gives you more freedom to explore the country and the roads are very good. You can also easily travel by bus and train between major cities. 
  • Make sure you arrange your health insurance well.

To pack and bring to Namibia

Back to top

What to take with you to Namibia: spotlighted

Featured items:
  • Documents: a passport with at least 6 months left until it expires.
  • Money: credit cards are accepted in many tourist areas, but for the smaller places it is best to bring some Namibian dollars.
  • Care: sunscreen with a high SPF.
  • Outdoor and practical: travel cap or safari hat and good sunglasses. Buff, scarf or bandana for more sun protection.
  • Clothing: airy, light-coloured (and neutral-coloured), loose clothing (more about clothing for when it is warm). Long sleeves and trousers are nice for protection against the sun and mosquitoes (more about insect and mosquito-repellent clothing). Warm layers (fleece or jacket) for cooler evenings. Especially from May to September.
  • Shoes: nice walking shoes for the rough landscape and sandals or slippers for your relaxing moments.
  • Medicines and travel kit: a small first aid kit with plasters, painkillers, anti-diarrhea medication and ORS (dehydration is a thing). Mosquito repellent (see also DEET mosquito repellent).
  • Technique and equipment: world plug with type D/M (see also world plug or travel plug), a power bank for camping adventures and a headlamp or flashlight for camping adventures and lodges.
  • Extra: a good sense of adventure!
What are some other options for packing as well?
  • Reusable water bottle with filter, because tap water is technically drinkable, but often tastes strange.
  • Quick-drying travel towel.
  • Mini binoculars or monocular for your safari.
  • International driving license, if you want to rent a car.
  • A raincoat if you go between December and March.
Back to top

What should you keep in mind when traveling to Namibia with your belongings?

  • The activities (maybe you should take camping gear with you?).
  • The temperatures and rainfall in the season you are visiting Namibia.
Back to top

Are there mosquitoes in Namibia?

  • Tropical Namibia is a paradise for mosquitoes. The “problem mosquitoes” are mainly found in the north. Malaria is common here, especially during the rainy season.
  • High-risk areas are Etosha, the Zambezi region, parts of the Kavango and the Caprivi Strip.
  • It is therefore important to protect yourself, especially in these areas.
Back to top

Are there sandflies in Namibia?

  • Sand flies – the tiny stinging insects that can transmit leishmaniasis, among other things – are found in parts of southern Africa, but are quite rare in Namibia and are almost never reported as a risk to travellers.
  • Your set of mosquito repellents with DEET can provide a solution in combination with covering clothing, good spray, and not sleeping on the beach without protection.
Back to top

Can you buy DEET, or other mosquito repellents, in Namibia?

  • There are mosquito repellents for sale in Namibia, although the choice will be smaller than at home.
  • Popular products are “Peaceful sleep” and “Tabard”. You can get these in pharmacies and supermarkets.
Back to top

Can you buy a joint or weed in Namibia, or take it with you to Namibia?

  • In Namibia, things are going backwards rather than forwards when it comes to Cannabis. Cannabis is illegal and the penalties have increased in recent years.
  • The use of cannabis, or possession of cannabis, carries a prison sentence of around 20-40 years. So that will be a very long (or expensive, if you talk your way out of it) holiday.
  • So you better not take it with you either.

Health, Insurance & Safety

​​​​​​​How does healthcare work in Namibia, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

​​​​​​​How does healthcare work in Namibia, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

How does the healthcare system work in Namibia, and which insurance do you need?

Back to top

What is the quality of healthcare in Namibia?

  • Namibia has a reasonably developed healthcare system compared to many other countries in southern Africa, but the quality of care varies enormously between urban areas and remote regions.
  • Good private clinics and hospitals are available in the capital, Windhoek, and in larger cities such as Swakopmund and Walvis Bay. Outside the cities, care is often limited: small clinics regularly struggle with staff shortages, medicine shortages, and limited equipment.
  • The government is trying to make basic care accessible through public hospitals and health centers. At the same time, a large part of the middle class and virtually all expatriates use private healthcare.
  • Major health challenges in Namibia include:
    • HIV/AIDS.
    • tuberculosis.
    • malaria in the north.
    • traffic accidents.
    • alcohol-related health problems.
    • limited access to healthcare in rural areas.
  • Due to the enormous distances in Namibia, medical evacuation may sometimes be necessary. Serious medical cases are regularly transferred to South Africa.
  • Ambulance services in Namibia are available in larger cities, but outside urban areas, help can take a long time to arrive. In remote regions, safari areas, and the outback-like parts of the country, you are often heavily reliant on private transport or medical evacuation by plane.
  • The general emergency number is 10111 for police emergencies and 211111 for medical emergencies in some regions, but numbers and accessibility may vary by area. Additionally, many private hospitals have their own ambulance services.
  • Medicines are reasonably available in cities, but the supply is more limited than in the West. Shortages can occur outside Windhoek and other larger towns. Specific medications, contraceptives, or medicines for chronic conditions are not always available.
Back to top

How does the public healthcare system work in Namibia?

  • Public healthcare is organized by the Namibian Ministry of Health.
  • Public hospitals and clinics offer affordable or free basic care to residents.
  • The quality varies greatly - in urban areas, basic care can be reasonable. In rural areas, facilities are sometimes very limited.
  • Many public hospitals have:
    • long waiting times.
    • limited specialist care.
    • shortages of medicines or equipment.
    • staff overburdening.
  • For travelers and expats, public healthcare is usually only suitable for simple or acute emergencies.
Back to top

How does the private healthcare system work in Namibia?

  • Private healthcare in Namibia is of significantly better quality than public healthcare.
  • Especially in Windhoek, there are modern private hospitals with:
    • English-speaking doctors
    • modern equipment
    • better hygiene
    • shorter waiting times
  • Many doctors are trained in South Africa or Europe.
  • Private healthcare is expensive, however. Without good insurance, hospital admissions, evacuations, or specialist treatments can run into significant costs.
  • In serious medical situations, many expats choose to be treated in South Africa, especially in Cape Town or Johannesburg.
Back to top

How is the family doctor or general practitioner arranged in Namibia?

  • General practitioners usually function as the first point of contact for medical problems.
  • There are sufficient private doctors available in cities. Making an appointment is often quick, and waiting times are usually limited.
  • In smaller villages and remote areas, access to a doctor can be difficult. Often, only small clinics are available there.
Back to top

How is the dental care and dentist arranged in Namibia?

  • Dental care is primarily privately organized.
  • Good dentists are available in Windhoek and a few larger cities. Outside urban areas, dental care is limited or barely available.
  • Dental treatments can be expensive and are usually not reimbursed as standard by local healthcare systems.
  • Many travelers and expats choose to have major dental treatments performed in South Africa.
Back to top

How is pregnancy and maternity care arranged in Namibia?

  • The quality of pregnancy care differs significantly between public and private care.
  • Private hospitals in Windhoek offer good prenatal care and support during childbirth. Expats almost always opt for private care.
  • In rural areas there are:
    • fewer specialized facilities.
    • higher risks of complications.
    • limited access to emergency care.
  • Complications during pregnancy or childbirth may be a reason for medical evacuation to South.
Back to top

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Namibia?

What should you pay attention to in terms of safety in Namibia?

  • Namibia is considered one of the safer countries in Africa, but crime does occur.
  • Pay particular attention to:
    • pickpockets in Windhoek.
    • car break-ins.
    • theft in parking lots.
    • robberies in some city districts after sunset.
  • The biggest risks for travelers are often:
    • traffic accidents.
    • extreme heat.
    • dehydration.
    • breakdowns in remote areas.
  • Namibia is vast. In the desert or remote areas, help can take hours to arrive.

What should you look out for in terms of diseases in Namibia?

  • Important health risks are:
    • malaria in the north and northeast.
    • food poisoning.
    • diarrhea.
    • dehydration.
    • rabies.
    • HIV/AIDS.
  • Malaria mainly occurs in the regions:
    • Zambezi.
    • Kavango.
    • Etosha region during the rainy season.
  • Good mosquito protection is essential.
  • Due to the dry heat, many travelers underestimate how much fluid they lose.

What should you pay attention to when it comes to traffic in Namibia?

  • Road safety poses a major risk in Namibia. Many accidents are caused by:
    • high speeds.
    • unpaved roads.
    • wildlife roaming freely.
    • fatigue during long drives.
  • Driving at night is strongly discouraged.
  • There are extra precautions for safaris and road trips, where water is limited, fuel can be hard to get, and it's easy to get lost.
  • A flat tire in the middle of nowhere is almost a Namibian rite of passage.

In some cases, travel insurance coverage also applies in your home country.

Round the world travel insurance or long-term travel insurance

Back to top

What is round the world travel insurance or long-term travel insurance?

  • Round the world travel insurance means that you take out insurance that continues to provide coverage during all your activities abroad, and which is specifically intended for those who travel for long periods of time, such as world travelers, globetrotters, and nomads.

  • Worldwide travel insurance also covers your medical expenses up to the actual cost, and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.

  • Coverage of your medical expenses during your trip: so that you are always covered, even if you go to work or if the costs in the event of an accident are higher than the Dutch rate
  • Coverage for natural disasters and war during your trip: so that you don't have to return home immediately with your tail between your legs every time the Dutch government issues negative travel advice
  • Your insurer's specialization: so that your insurer specializes in backpacking trips or long stays abroad, and doesn't treat you like an “all-inclusive sunglasses claimant.”

Insurance for working abroad

Back to top

What is insurance for working abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational travel without study, internship, or work. If you engage in activities other than recreational activities, this generally means that you will no longer be covered for the entire travel period.
Back to top

What should you pay attention to in your insurance policy if you are going to work abroad?

  • Make sure you have insurance that is valid in the area where you will be traveling and working.
  • Make sure you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you will be participating in.
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.

What is insurance for working with animals abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad with animals means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid, unpaid, or internship work abroad, where minor or major risks are involved.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for work abroad.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work. Almost all standard insurers exclude working with animals from coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work. All over the world, there are reserves, rescue centers, and zoos where you can roll up your sleeves as a veterinarian, intern, or volunteer. Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.

What is insurance for studying abroad, and why should you take out specialized travel insurance for your education abroad?

What is insurance for studying abroad, and why should you take out specialized travel insurance for your education abroad?

Studying abroad with the right insurance

Back to top

What is insurance for studying abroad?

  • Insurance for studying abroad means that you take out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your studies, your education, and your related activities abroad.
  • Insurance for studying abroad is also referred to as study insurance. This study insurance is specifically for when you go abroad for a long period of time to take courses, study, or conduct research abroad.
Back to top

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a study abroad?

  • Study insurance is specifically designed for studying abroad, whereas regular travel insurance policies may offer coverage on paper but handle this situation differently in practice.
  • Study insurance offers coverage for longer stays than regular (vacation) travel insurance.
  • Study insurance is also suitable for many types of activities, ranging from various sports to hiking at high altitudes.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if you start working during your trip, whether planned or unplanned. If you have not taken out insurance before departure that allows you to work, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take out insurance abroad that provides coverage.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if your own country's health insurance no longer provides coverage.
  • Student insurance also covers your healthcare costs above the rates in your own country; with regular insurance, you have to pay the extra costs yourself.
  • Student insurance can also continue to provide coverage if (study) visa issuers impose additional requirements on how you insure yourself, for example if you are going to the US and applying for a J-1 visa.
  • Student insurance continues to provide coverage if you are staying abroad for a longer period of time and want to visit your own country in between.
Back to top

What is important to insure when you are going to study abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the country or countries where you are going to travel and work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you only insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work alongside your studies.

  • Expat insurance is insurance that continues to provide coverage if you go to work abroad for a local or international employer for an extended period of time.

Back to top

What is an emigration insurance, or insurance for moving and living abroad?

  • Emigration insurance is an insurance that continues to provide coverage if you move abroad permanently or for an indefinite period of time.
  • Emigration insurance is not only intended for emigrants, but for anyone who leaves their home country for an extended period of time and does not intend to return in the foreseeable future.
Back to top

Why should you take out specialized insurance for emigration or working as an expat abroad?

  • Emigration or expat insurance not only provides coverage for acute assistance in the event of illness or accident abroad, such as travel insurance, but can also provide coverage for existing conditions and ailments or non-urgent care.
  • Emigration or expat insurance does not require you to maintain valid health insurance in your home country.
  • Emigration or expat insurance provides coverage for preventive care or costs related to pregnancy and childbirth.
  • Emigration or expat insurance also provides coverage for long-term treatments and chronic conditions without you having to return to your home country.
  • Emigration or expat insurance often has no restrictions on the duration of the insurance, unlike travel insurance.
  • Emigration or expat insurance usually maintains coverage in cases such as negative travel advice or acts of war.
  • Emigration or expat insurance offers various solutions in the areas of disability, home and household insurance, goods transport, and liability.

Back to top

When can you also live abroad for a longer period of time with travel insurance?

  • There are also special expiring travel insurance policies that provide coverage without you having valid health insurance in your home country, however, these travel insurance policies are not intended for emigration or expats, but for stays outside your home country of up to a few years, for study, temporary work, volunteer work, and longer trips.

Travel in Namibia?

  • Namibia is the second least populated country in the world, so this leaves plenty of room for extraordinary natural beauty. Besides the imposing Kalahari and Namib desert and views of the Atlantic Ocean, Namibia is also chock-full of ancient culture. A perfect destination for a short or longer stay.
  • Namibia has several deserts with different flora and fauna. The Namib Desert in Namib Naukluft National Park, for example, is the oldest desert in the world with immense red sand dunes.
  • Etosha National Park is one of the largest game parks in Africa, known for its diversity of wildlife and easy accessibility.
  • You can visit seals at Cape Cross, near Walvis Bay. And in the month of November, they often have pups!
  • Check out Swakopmund, with all its German influences, is an oasis of calm, after the scorching hot desert.
  • Visit the capital Windhoek, which includes German architecture from colonial times.
  • Waterberg plateau is a beautiful natural park where you can walk around on your own. Here are black and white rhinos, among others.
  • Be prepared that the temperature can soar high above 40 degrees Celsius.

Welk visum regelen voor een reis of vrijwilligerswerk naar Namibië?

Welk visum regelen voor een reis of vrijwilligerswerk naar Namibië?

Image

Toeristenvisum

Een toeristenvisum is niet verplicht voor Namibië voor een verblijf tot 90 dagen. Deze kan nog eens met 90 dagen verlengd worden bij het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Immigratie in Windhoek. Er zijn ook veel mensen die het land verlaten en dan weer terugkomen op zo opnieuw 90 dagen gestempeld te krijgen (controleer wel even goed van te voren of dit nog kan!). Een returnticket en bewijs van voldoende financiële middelen is verplicht, maar hier wordt in de praktijk vaak alleen maar door vliegtuigmaatschappijen om gevraagd.

Vrijwilligersvisum

Voor vrijwilligerswerk in Namibië heb je een werkvisum nodig. Het werkvisum is in normale omstandigheden heel lastig te krijgen door werkloosheid in Namibië, maar voor vrijwilligers is dit proces gelukkig wat makkelijker. Je vraagt het van tevoren aan via de consulaire afdeling van Namibië of als je daar bent bij het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken in Windhoek. Dit laatste is aan te raden omdat sommige Europese ambassades niet het juiste visum kunnen verschaffen. Hierbij moet je de volgende documenten presenteren:

  • Ingevuld aanvraagformulier
  • Motivatiebrief voor de organisatie waar je gaat werken
  • Brief van de organisatie waar je vrijwilligerswerk gaan doen
  • Bewijs van qualificaties (diploma's bijvoorbeeld)
  • Verklaring omtrent gedrag
  • Je paspoort + gecertificeerde kopieën van de belangrijkste pagina's
  • Bewijs van voldoende financiën

Dit visum is 1 tot 3 maanden geldig, maar het is mogelijk om een visum voor een langere tijd aan te vragen als je een contract hebt met de organisatie waarbij je aan de slag gaat. In beide gevallen kan het werkvisum verlengd worden bij het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken in Namibië.

Actuele informatie

Check ruim voor vertrek de meest actuele (visum) informatie bij de Ambassade van de Republiek Namibië (zie link).

Activities abroad

    Back to top

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.
    Back to top

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
