Health
Mains water is normally chlorinated and, whilst safe, may cause mild abdominal upsets. Health insurance is essential. It is advisable to consult your doctor well in advance of travelling about immunisations and assembling a first aid kit. Malaria risk exists in the entire northern third of the country (Oshana, Oshikoto, Omusati, Ohangwenga, Otjozondjupa and Omaheke) from November to June and along the Kunene river and in Kavango and Caprivi regions throughout the year.
Money
American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa are accepted. Credit cards are not usually accepted at petrol stations, so bear this in mind when you visit the ATM. Although ATMs can be found in most towns, it's worth making sure that you've got enough cash handy at all times, as towns can be few and far between.
Keeping in Touch
There are internet cafés in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Windhoek. Most youth hostels and some game lodges will offer internet services. As Namibia is such a remote country, carrying a mobile phone of some description is definitely sensible. Roaming agreements exist with most international mobile phone operators. Coverage is limited to urban areas. MTN is the local mobile provider, and it's possible to buy phone cards at petrol stations and general stores.
