Getting Around Namibia

Getting Around Namibia

Getting around Namibia is easy with good infrastructure, excellent roads (tar and dirt), numerous small airports and bush landing strips; all of this in one of Africa's safest countries. It is only when one goes off the grid and deep into the heart of the Namib Desert, Kaokaland and Damaraland that things get tricky and a proper 4x4 is required as well as 4x4ing experience.

For most travellers to Namibia, good tar and dirt roads are the norm when travelling between destinations and towns.

Travelling Around Namibia

At Uyaphi.com we do offer a large of safari types from which to choose; fly-in safaris, accommodated safaris, camping safaris and of course self-drive safaris. In a nutshell, we offer something for everyone, no matter your budget or your wants and needs.

For those flying from destination to destination, most lodges and areas are serviced by a dirt landing strip for access. These landing strips are usually next to or within an easy 30-45 minute drive. All charter flights and companies comply with international standards especially when it comes down to the servicing of planes and the experience of pilots.

Guided accommodated and/or camping safaris are very popular. A professional guide and crew drive clients across the country in custom 4x4 safari vehicles offering up their knowledge on the surrounding cultures, landscapes, geology and of course wildlife and birdlife. Group sizes per vehicle can range from 4 people on a private option to 24 people on an overland option; this is all budget dependent and we will guide you through what is best for you and your budget.

Seld driving safaris are also a popular option especially with family-based safaris or couples wanting to explore the country at their own pace. The best aspect of a self-drive safari is you can stop when you want to, you can take the road that looks the most interesting on the map and of course, depart and arrive at destinations in your own time.

Driving Tips when self-driving around Namibia;

  • Be careful, any damage to the vehicle and it is for your account
  • Do not speed, medical services are far away and there will most likely be no cell phone reception - be careful
  • Always drive with headlights on, especially on dirt roads
  • Never try to drive longer than 400 kilometres in a day - remembering you are on safari
  • Driving at night is a no no
  • Always be on the lookout for wildlife on or near the road's edge
  • Always fill up with fuel when you can
  • Always be prepared; water, extra fuel and snacks should something happen en-route
  • And, buy the best car insurance you can afford

Please note that we drive on the left-hand side of the roads in Southern Africa, Europeans and North Americans should take this into consideration. Driving up the road on the wrong side is frowned upon.
