In the Namib Desert there are a few options of budget friendly accommodations. For example, you can pitch a tent at the entrance to the National park with dunes - Sossusvlei.

Namibia has poor public transport. That’s why the best option for you will be to rent a vehicle. Keep in mind, however, that they have right-hand traffic.

Here is the quickest and most convenient way to get to Namibia: take a flight to Frankfurt and then, take Air Namibia flight to Windhoek.

Open footwear is acceptable only on the hotel territory and only during daytime. The rest of the time you will need hiking boots.

It is not worth saving on cards. The Globetrotter Namibia card is considered to be the best one. It is sold at Windhoek’s airport for 15 dollars.

Big Namibian stores offer from 20% to 70% discounts to people aged over 70, including foreigners.

Be careful while paying with local currency. Namibia has several legal tenders: Namibian dollar and South African rand. So, you are going to deal with several banknotes varying by colors and images, plus coins. Coins of the same value may have different appearances. The best Namibian dollar exchange rate is in the South African Republic.

Always keep receipts if you withdraw cash from the First National Bank’s ATMs. Thus you will be able to re-exchange your local money for home currency on your way out. You can also ask crews of commercial or fishing boats based at Walsh Bay to buy local money from you.
