Getting To Namibia

Making your way to paradise is as simple as by air, sea or if you're adventurous, you can choose a rental vehicle from a full-range and make your self-drive safari a special holiday.

Driving

Most of the land border posts close at night (notably Ngoma in the Zambezi region and Buitepos on the Trans-Kalahari), so either time yourself well or prepare to camp near the border. However the border officials tend to be friendly and efficient. The two main border posts from South Africa (Ariamsvlei & Noordower) are open 24 hours.

Bus

Intercape Mainliner buses offer a service to Namibia from Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Victoria Falls.

Train

Namibia does not have over border trains.

Flying

A number of airlines fly into and out of Namibia.

• West Air
• Eurowings
• Discovery

Windhoek has two airports the International Airport and the smaller Eros Airport. International flights only arrive at the International Airport (which is situated 40km outside of Windhoek) - but if you are on a regional flight it is worth making sure at which airport you will be arriving.

By Sea

Walvis Bay is the main port in Namibia.
