- Before you travel: check Namibia's entry rules for your passport — Entry requirements depend on your passport and travel purpose. Check the latest official Namibian visa information before you book or depart.
- A first look at Etosha: start with the park, then shape your day — Etosha's salt pan, waterholes and wildlife are part of a much larger landscape. Start with the official park information before choosing your experience.
- How to check a Namibia tour operator before you book — Use the Namibia Tourism Board’s Tour and Safari Operators directory to look up a business by name, registration number or location. A directory entry is a useful check, not a guarantee of service quality.
- SADC travel in Namibia: choose a region, then plan the route — Namibia’s seven tourism cluster regions offer very different trips, from Windhoek and central Namibia to Etosha, the coast and the desert. Entry requirements still depend on the passport you travel on, so check the Ministry’s current guidance first.

- Windhoek Oktoberfest 2026: Dates, Venue and Visitor Guide — Windhoek Oktoberfest is scheduled for 30–31 October 2026 at Sport Klub Windhoek. Confirm opening times, age rules, tickets and transport with the organizer.
