Namibia Travel Guide

There are few direct flights to Namibia, and most people have a stopover in O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg, South Africa. Some of the main airlines flying to Johannesburg have add-on connections. This often includes an overnight in Johannesburg.

Namibia's main airport is Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH), located 40km/25mi east of Windhoek, the capital. Onward travel is either by small aircraft or car. Because of the excellent roads and safety in Namibia, many people choose the self-drive option. In most other cases, your local tour operator will arrange pick-up from the airport and all further transportation as part of the tour.
