BORDER POSTS
NAMIBIA HAS A VERY MATURE IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS SYSTEM so passing through border posts is normally quite easy, given you have the correct documents. So make sure you have all the necessary official documents.
Some travellers have had unfortunate experiences with having to pay bribes at border posts elsewhere in Africa. Happily, Namibian border post officials tend to be efficient and not open to bribery. Service is not always delivered with a smile but if you take off your hat and sunglasses and adopt a cheerful manner, chances are good that you will receive a warmer reception.
You can travel Namibia for a maximum of 90 days per year, thereafter you have to apply at the Ministry of Home Affairs for an extended stay.
TIP: Border officials often differ in how strictly they apply regulations; this means that nine times out of ten they might be happy to bend a rule or fast track a process but on the tenth time you might encounter an official who applies the rule to the letter. Be prepared for the tenth time!
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED WHEN TRAVELLING BY VEHICLE
• A valid passport with at least six months remaining validity before expiry. Double check your passport is stamped with the correct date when entering the country.
• Original vehicle registration certificate (a certified copy is acceptable). Drivers whose vehicles are still financed by a bank will not have the original vehicle registration document and will have to use the vehicle licence papers (from which the renewal disc is cut out annually), or a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, which must be signed by a Commissioner of Oaths.
• If the car registration number on your registration papers is not the same as on the vehicle number plate (for instance if it was pre-owned) you must also present the registration paper from which your license disc was cut out.
• If you’re not the registered owner of the vehicle (i.e. it’s still being financed by the bank, you are renting a vehicle or you are driving a friend’s vehicle), you must have a letter from the financial institution, company or friend giving you authorization to take the vehicle across the border. This letter must stipulate dates for which you are allowed to take the vehicle out of the country and must also be signed by the owner and a Commissioner of Oaths.
• In the past Namibia required a Police Clearance Certificate but since 2015 the SA Police Service no longer
The Onseepkans border post. (Photo: Kirsten Fugard-Marshall)
issues vehicle Clearance Certificates for tourist cross border travel; only if the vehicle is being exported from the country or if you enter with a work permit.
• Drivers of vehicles arriving in Namibia from outside the Southern African Customs Union area (Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, eSwatini and Namibia) must have a Carnet de Passage for the vehicle.
• Proof of vehicle insurance.
• A yellow fever certificate is strongly recommended. If you’ve been to an affected country, a yellow fever certificate is compulsory. Neighboring Angola has a history of yellow fever and the potential risk is high for this to spread to bordering countries like Namibia and Zambia.
TIP: Keep your official documents together in a plastic envelope. Print your vehicle details (like VIN, engine and licence number as well as make) in large letter type and put that together with your registration paper, back to front in the envelope so that it is readable through the envelope. If you have a trailer, put its detail to be visible if you turn the envelope around. Whenever you are asked for your vehicle or trailer details, you just hold your handy envelope against the window for the official to read.
BORDER CROSSING PROCEDURE
1. The driver and all passengers must present themselves to immigration to get their passports stamped. Always check that your passport has been stamped according to the correct dates of your stay and have it amended immediately if this isn’t the case.
2. Each child and adult in your group will be required to fill in an Arrival/Departure form, so take a pen with you.
3. Once immigration is cleared, the driver must proceed to the Namibia Roads Agency counter. Have all the required vehicle documents ready. To enter Namibia with a foreign-registered vehicle you are required to pay a cross border charge of N$371 per vehicle, N$236 per trailer and N$236 per motorcycle (2024 fees). ZAR is also accepted. You can pay cash or by credit/debit card. It is best to always have cash available in case the card machine is not operational.
4. Declare all valuables at customs. Have a list of all your cameras and electronic equipment with serial numbers and values ready; it will be much easier to complete the forms.
5. You can now proceed to the border gate. Have your gate pass (signed by both the customs and immigration departments) together with your passports ready for inspection. If your gate pass is not stamped, you will be sent back to the relevant counter for the additional stamp!
CUSTOMS
It is illegal to have any of the following goods in your possession:
• Narcotic, habit-forming drugs and related substances in any form.
• Firearms, ammunition and explosives.
• Indecent and obscene material such as pornographic books, magazines, films, videos, DVDs and software.
Namibia is a tourist-friendly country and allows visitors to take personal items like binoculars, cameras, clothing, jewellery, etc. into the country without having to pay customs duty. There are, however, restrictions on the duty-free quantities of the following consumables:
Cigarettes – 400
Cigars – 50
Tobacco – 250 g
Wine – 2 litre
Spirits or other alcoholic beverages – 1 litre
Perfume – 50 ml
Eau de Toilet – 250 ml
Other than your personal items, travellers can take new or used goods to the value of not more than the equivalent of 3 000 South African rand duty-free into Namibia. You are not allowed to take maize or firewood into Namibia.
TIP: When you return to South Africa, if you have fuel in containers other than your fuel tank, these will attract an import duty so empty the containers into your vehicle before crossing the border.
TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
If you intend crossing into South Africa and you’re travelling with children under 18, they must carry valid passports, unabridged birth certificates stating both parents’ names, and affidavits from both parents (if either one or both aren’t present). This rule applies whether the children require a visa or not, and applies again when they leave South Africa. There are a number of permutations of this rule relating to adoptive parents, guardians, children travelling alone etc. If one of these scenarios applies to you, look up the relevant requirements on the South African Department of Home Affairs website (www.dha.gov.za), ‘CIVIC SERVICES’ menu.
A SPECIAL NOTE ON MEAT, FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
The import regulations on meat, meat products, fruit and vegetables change frequently because they’re based on disease outbreaks in the region. Unfortunately, at the time of writing there wasn’t yet an official website with the latest such information so it’s best to speak to people who’ve recently visited the country. You can also ask a trustworthy travel forum (www.tracks4africa.co.za/community, www.4x4community.co.za or www.overland.co.za) for an update, rather than relying on the personal experience of just one person.
From time to time there are outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in the region and during such times the import of all cloven hoof animals (including game) is banned. And this means you won’t be allowed to take any raw meat or animal products like unpasteurised milk or cheese from the diseased country into Namibia. Veterinary staff at the border will ensure that such products are confiscated and destroyed.
Namibia has good quality meat at good prices, so you might as well buy your meat there. Any Spar, Pick n Pay or Shoprite has a good selection of fresh meat, as do many of the local butcheries. When there is an outbreak of footand-mouth disease, you are still allowed to take in fish and

N amibia Grand Tour SUGGESTED ROUTES
The Namibia Grand Tour is a round trip from Windhoek, taking in all the major parks and attractions. While you can drive this route in a 2WD vehicle, on some of the gravel roads generous ground clearance and big wheels will be an advantage. Also, some of the final sections to camps may well require 4WD but we’ve indicated this on each listing so you can select your accommodation accordingly.
The Namibia Grand Tour covers Fish River Canyon, Lüderitz , Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft Park, Swakopmund, Brandberg, Twyfelfontein, Epupa Falls, Etosha National Park, Waterberg Plateau National park and Windhoek. Of course, you could also do the tour in the reverse order.
While this tour is designed as a circular route, starting and ending in Windhoek, you can also access it from your nearest borderpost. If coming from South Africa, you would probably want to begin at Fish River Canyon or Waterberg depending on where you’ve entered the country - Gauteng visitors may want to extend the tour into the Zambezi (old Caprivi) region and return home via Botswana.
DETAILED ITINERARY
If you fly in to Windhoek we suggest you take the day to sort out your hire vehicle and do your shopping - so the next day when you begin your journey, you’ll be well rested and ready. If you don’t feel like overnighting in Windhoek, you could drive for an hour towards Rehoboth and camp (or rent a chalet) at Lake Oanob Resort just outside Rehoboth. If you’ve decided to do the tour in the reverse order, Okahandja could be your first overnight stop outside Windhoek.
Day 1: WINDHOEK TO FISH RIVER CANYON (AI-AIS OR HOBAS)
(700 km - 7 hrs 15 min)
A long drive but mostly on good national road. Don’t set off too late as the last hour or two will be on gravel. As you pass Hobas towards Ai-Ais, driving through the Gondwana Canyon Park, you’ll find yourself in an area which offers great possibilities for landscape photos.
Day 2: FISH RIVER CANYON
We’d actually suggest you stay two nights here. This will give you the opportunity to experience both a sunrise and a sunset at the canyon lookout points, these are spectacular photo opportunities. It’s worth noting that the view from the lookout will be in a westerly direction. The camp at AiAis is much larger than the one at Hobas and it allows you the use of the hot water swimming pool as well as day hiking access to the canyon. You can also climb the nearby peaks, just ask the staff for directions. The newly-renovated camp at Hobas is about 10 km from the canyon lookout points so don’t expect to be near the canyon. You are not allowed to hike down into the canyon from the Hobas lookout points unless you’re setting off on the 5-day Fish River Canyon hiking trail (with the necessary permit). This trail starts here and ends at Ai-Ais. Booking for this trail

ETOSHA
ETOSHA IS ONE OF NAMIBIA’S finest national parks and offers spectacular game viewing. The park has 86 springs, fountains and waterholes (some natural and some fed by boreholes), where the game tends to concentrate in the dry season. Visitors can expect to see a host of small and large animal species, including elephant, lion, giraffe, rhino and a variety of antelope, including the elusive Damara Dik-Dik, Namibia’s smallest antelope.
Thousands of years ago Etosha Pan would have been a lake fed by the Kunene River but today the pan only holds water after heavy rains. During this time, for a short while, it plays host to flamingos, pelicans and wading birds. The rainy season generally offers excellent birding opportunities with some 340 species present, about a third of which are migratory.
Part of the reason Etosha is so popular is because it offers good facilities and is accessible by sedan. The park has a few points from which to enter or exit but the main ones are: Galton Gate in the southwest, Anderson Gate in the south, Von Lindequist Gate in the east and King Nehale Gate in the northeast. The park is serviced by a good gravel road and it has six camps which offer excellent camping and/or lodging facilities. Olifantsrus is the newest camp in the park, offering just camping. Each camp is unique and has different vegetation which attracts different animals. There also are a few private campsites close to Namutoni and Anderson gates which are very popular and ideal for day visits into the park.
When it was proclaimed in 1907, the park was one of the largest reserves in the world, but it has since shrunk in size to an area consisting mainly of Etosha Pan which is 130 km long and 50 km wide. The western section of the park was restricted for many years but now visitors are allowed to use Galton Gate and stay over at Dolomite luxury camp.
There also are reserves just outside Etosha which offer their own game drives and beautiful scenery; for instance, Onguma Private Game Reserve to the east near Namtoni Gate and Ongawa Private Game Reserve to the south near Anderson Gate.

Etosha National Park
EXPLORERS CHARLES JOHN ANDERSSON AND FRANCIS GALTON were the first Europeans to record the existence of the Etosha Pan on 29 May 1851. They were travelling with Ovambo copper ore traders when they left Omutjamatunda (now known as Namutoni) to travel north. The name Etosha means Great White Place. In 1885, entrepreneur William Worthington Jordan bought a huge tract of land from Ovambo chief Kambonde. The land spanned nearly 170 kilometres from Okaukuejo in the west to Fischer’s Pan in the east. Jordan gave 2 500 hectares of this land at no charge to Dorsland Trekkers who were on their way back from Angola. However, they had to abandon their newly-acquired farms just a year later, after clashes with a subtribe of the Ovambo people.
At the same time German troops occupied Okaukuejo, Namutoni and Sesfontein in order to kill migrating wildlife, this in an attempt to stop the spread of rinderpest to their cattle. A fort was built by the German cavalry in 1889 at the site of the Namutoni spring. On 28 January 1904, 500 men under Nehale Mpingana, chief of the Ovambo subtribe that drove the Dorsland Trekkers out, attacked the German Schutztruppe at Fort Namutoni and completely destroyed it, driving out the colonial forces and plundering their horses and cattle. The fort was rebuilt

and troops stationed there once again when the area was declared a game reserve in 1907. Lieutenant Adolf Fischer of Fort Namutoni became the first game warden.
Etosha National Park is Namibia’s most famous and popular national park, partly because it is malaria free. The park has an abundance of game and about 340 bird species have been counted. Game viewing is easy as most animals come to drink at one of the few watering holes. It’s only after heavy rains that the Etosha Pan fills up and becomes a water source for wading birds and other animals. This is also the time when the bulbs flower.
Traveller Description
Galton Gate and the associated West Etosha route is now open to self-drive tourists. Self-drive visitors can also use Namutoni Gate in the east or Anderson Gate in the south. The park is serviced by a good gravel road which can be negotiated in a normal sedan vehicle. However, you are advised to use a SUV or pick-up vehicle during the rainy season. The main camps (Okaukuejo, Namutoni and Halali) offer a good variety of accommodation while Onkoshi and Dolomite are exclusive camps.
Travel Info
All three main camps (Okaukuejo, Namutoni and Halali) have fuel stations, restaurants and shops with very basic food supplies. Rather come stocked. Okaukuejo has laundry facilities and a basic clinic. Namutoni Camp has the best shade but most people regard the waterhole at Okaukuejo as the park’s star attraction, especially at night when elephant, rhino and lion come down to drink. Moringa waterhole at Halali is also great and this camp, with its large campsites set far apart under massive Mopani trees, is favoured by many. Travellers reported in 2023 that the roads were not in a good condition and that the chalets did not have any cutlery or crockery.
TRAVEL
TIP! You’re allowed to take raw meat from cloven-hooved animals and unpasteurised milk into Etosha if you travel from the south. However, veterinary fence restrictions don’t allow you to take it out past the same control point, unless the meat is cooked. Etosha has its own App (Etosha App) which can be downloaded from the Play Store.
