Getting around

A rental car is the most practical way to cover Namibia's vast distances, since park gates and trailheads like Etosha, Sossusvlei, and Twyfelfontein are not served by scheduled transit. Drive paved B1 and C-class gravel roads between destinations, budgeting 4 to 6 hours for each leg. In Swakopmund, walking is best along the waterfront and jetty. For short hops, use Uber or Bolt in larger towns, with taxis averaging around $0.7 per kilometer. Minibus taxis work for quick local trips in towns, though they run infrequently between rural areas. Fuel up before long stretches, as stations are sparse.
