Namibian dollar, equal to South African Rand. $1=N$7.5 |

Places to stay/camp |
Excellent and plentiful camp grounds. Costs tend to be per site, rather than
per person. Bush camping technically illegal on public land. |
|
Other information |
English and German widely spoken. Same time zone as Angola, but Namibia uses
daylight saving, so summer is same time zone as South Africa.. |
|
Overall rating |
A beautiful country, somewhat over-regulated. (Tourist authorities have
adopted a rather arrogant tone in their literature - "advance booking
compulsory, take it or leave it, payment in advance, guides mandatory,"
etc.). We preferred the Sahara countries despite (or maybe because of)
Namibia's good infrastructure. |
