South Africa
A small town with a rich heritage. Lots of things to do in and around the town. The desert surrounding the town is mesmerizing. I am not a beach person, so cannot report on that, but the weather is mild and the UV is extremely high. Resulting in a burnt skin the first day.
Posted: February 14, 2026Experienced: November, 2024Namibia 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.

I felt comfortable walking everywhere during the day. Locals are friendly and helpful. Street sellers may bombard you with offers but not too hectic. I am not an evening person, but walked around one night and felt comfortable. I stayed on well lit streets though.
Posted: February 13, 2026Namibia is safer compared to other African countries but you can never be too carefull. Avoid wakling alone in isolated areas of the city and make sure to take a cab at night but not one of the taxis... get a app similar to uber like lefa.

Swakopmund felt like a small town being so sparsely populated. The locals were friendly, and there was no public transportation so walking is essential here. I traveled alone and felt safe here, even walking after sunset. Later at night the streets are very empty, so walking with a group felt more secure.
