Current Travel Situation
Spain to Namibia: What You Need to Know
Namibia is a vast southern African country largely covered by the Namib Desert (the world's oldest desert) and the Kalahari. It has extraordinary landscapes: Sossusvlei red dunes, Etosha National Park, the Skeleton Coast, Fish River Canyon (second-largest in the world), and the Damaraland rock art.
How to Get There
Namibia connects naturally with South Africa (Cape Town to Windhoek 3-4 hours by air), Botswana (Okavango Delta, 4 hours from Windhoek by road), and Zambia (Victoria Falls via Caprivi Strip). Self-drive safaris in a 4x4 are extremely popular in Namibia.
Money & Banking
Namibia uses the Namibian dollar (NAD), pegged at par to the South African rand. Rand is accepted everywhere. Cards at lodges and Windhoek establishments. Cash essential for rural areas and many national park entry points. Namibia is moderately expensive for Africa.
Practical Tips
Sossusvlei and Deadvlei (iconic red dunes with dead camelthorn trees), Etosha National Park (lions, elephants, rhinos at waterholes), the Skeleton Coast (shipwrecks, seals, desert-adapted lions), Sossus Dune Lodge, and the Quivertree Forest are top experiences.
