It depands on the area in which you are located. There are places that are more safe than others. In all areas you should not walk alone in the dark. For traveling through the City you can use the App Yango.

Namibia was ok. It's a very sparse country that is mostly desert. The main capital, Windhoek, is quaint with lots of museums to visit. The cuisine isn't extraordinarily different either a few game meats here and there. It's very much for adventure seekers who enjoy desert landscapes. The beach is nice with chilly weather.

Namibia is a very safe country. Just be careful on the gravel roads. Most areas you do not need vaccination. I visited Namibia about 8 times. If you like to have any advise I am happy to help you. I also worked as a volunteer on a horse farm there.
