Traveling to Namibia

Namibia is one of those countries that few people have ever considered visiting or even know exists – ourselves included. We only ended up going to Namibia because we were going to be nearby in South Africa anyway, but boy, are we glad we did. We left the country filled to the brim with amazing experiences; ranging from the most astonishing nature to impressive culture and fascinating history. All complemented by the kindest people. We are definitely coming back and we will encourage everyone with a taste for wildlife and nature experiences unlike anywhere else to do the same. Take a look at our travel posts and guides from Namibia to learn more about the best time to visit, the animals you can expect to see, how it is to experience the point where the Namibian desert meets the ocean and much more.

Currency

The Namibian currency is called Namibian Dollars (NAD).

When to visit

The best time to visit Namibia is in the spring (September to November) or fall (March to May).

Language

The official language in Namibia is English.
