Health
A yellow fever certificate is required for all travelers arriving from infected areas. Vaccinations for Hepatitis A and typhoid fever are also recommended. Travelers should ensure their polio vaccinations are up to date. There is a malaria risk in the northern region during the rainy season, from January to April. HIV/AIDS is prevalent and cautions are essential. Cholera outbreaks occur. There has been an increase in the incidence of rabies among dogs in Windhoek. There are good medical facilities in Windhoek, but medical insurance is essential as treatment is expensive. Travelers to Namibia should take medical advice at least four weeks prior to departure.
Safety
The majority of visits to Namibia are trouble-free, but beware of street crime and pickpockets in the town centers. Theft from vehicles, especially from service stations, is common and valuables should be kept out of sight and the car locked. Avoid using taxis if possible and never take one alone. Care should be taken when traveling in the Caprivi Strip; travel in daylight hours only and stay on the main tarred highway, as there is a risk of landmines remaining from the Angolan civil war.
