Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry winter months (May to September). Pack layers as mornings and evenings can be cool, despite daytime warmth. Respect local customs and dress modestly when visiting cultural sites. Stay hydrated and use sun protection. Carry Namibian Dollars or South African Rand as cash is preferred in many places. Credit cards are accepted in larger establishments but not everywhere.
