Domestic flights in Namibia

In Windhoek, Hosea Kutako International Airport caters primarily for international and regional air traffic while Eros Airport, situated within the municipal boundaries of Windhoek, handles domestic flights.

All major Namibian tourist destinations have airports, landing strips and/or heliports to accommodate holidaymakers travelling by air.

Towns and lodges are linked internally by scheduled or charter flights serviced via Fly Namibia (see flight schedule).

Please note: Although Namibia has over 300 known airfields, travellers are cautioned not to land at unlicensed airfields, as the condition is not always known. Aircraft fuel is usually not available at the landing strips, and landings must be arranged in advance.

Road Conditions

A two-wheel drive vehicle is adequate for a self-drive holiday; however, we recommend a vehicle with high ground clearance.

The country has a well-established road network, of which some 5 450 km is tarred and 37 000 km consists of gravel and earth roads, providing access to the majority of towns, parks, nature reserves and tourist attractions in the country. Road conditions are generally good and well signposted.

Two major development projects, the Trans-Caprivi Highway and the Trans-Kalahari Highway, provide access to Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa and link Namibia with other Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries for trade, travel and communication.

Transport options in Namibia

Domestic transport services available include bus service and commercial flights. We recommend Namibia2Go car rental.

Private transport available includes hired car, 4x4 vehicle or light aircraft.

Please note: For public transport in Windhoek, Gondwana Travel Centre suggests to use LEFA, Yango, or Dial-A-Cab.

For transportation to Namiba’s attractions we suggest Go2 Tourism Transfers. Local trains and buses are not really a suitable option for travellers around Namibia.

Travel in Namibia is safe and relatively uncomplicated; the infrastructure is excellent. With well-maintained roads, frequently situated fuel stations and a wide variety of shops, it is comparatively cheap and offers excellent safari experiences.

Namibia is a popular self-drive destination; although most Game Reserves are easily accessible, parts of the country remain only accessible to authorised tour operators where either guided safaris or fly-in safaris are recommended.
