Thank you! Is Namibia safe to visit? Yes, Namibia is a safe country for solos. That's why we've given it 3 out of 5 stars. The only dangers here are from wild animals and scorpions or running out of water in the desert. If you decide to self-drive through the country make sure you stock up on gas, food and water and have emergency contacts in case you break down as distances are vast.
Overland tours travel through Namibia and combine the country with others in Africa. You can travel for miles and not see a single soul. Conservation is the key here, whether community-based or environmental and traditional homesteads are run by indigenous tribes to help sustain their way of life that they have been living for centuries.
As a former German colony, there is a large German influence in the country which can be seen in the cities in Namibia. Things to do in Windhoek include browsing at Namibia Crafts Centre where you can pick up pottery and traditional material and leatherwork, or at the Old Breweries Craft Market.
