Namibia has 2.3 million inhabitants and has 13 ethnics cultures.

The capital town is Windhoek and the current president is Hage Geingob. 

The Namibian Dollar (N$) is fixed to and on par with the South African Rand but most places have credit card facilities as you're not going to find ATMs outside the towns.  

Namibia Standard Time is 1 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+1) during winter time; from the 1st Sunday in April until the 1st Sunday in September.

There are 2 rainy seasons; between February and April and between September and November.

Roads are well maintained, but with 37,000 km gravel and only 5,450 km tar, speed limits are 80 km/h on gravel and 100 km/h on tar.

Namibia is safe, but when stopping at traffic lights, it's a good idea to keep your doors locked and windows up. Never leave anything visible in a parked car. Be vigilant if you stop at picnic sites.

Remember to stay hydrated; most tap water is purified but visitors should take caution. Padkos is a must; biltong, nuts and fruits.
