Namibia: Safety tips

Personal safety

Tourists in any country are a preferred target. Be on the alert for handbag snatchers and pickpockets. Excercise caution by keeping your vehicle locked, never leaving valuables/bags visible in the vehicle, using registered ‘car guards’ when parking in towns.

Leave cameras, electronic equipment, tickets, passports and excess cash in the safe at your hotel when out sightseeing. It is fairly safe, especially in a group, to walk in the city centre at night. Avoid unlit areas. Ensure that valuables and personal effects are adequately insured.

Drinking water

Tap water is safe and potable in Namibia, unless specifically stated at particular locations. Tourists travelling by road are advised to carry sufficient water at all times. Mineral water and ice are readily available at most service stations and shops.
