TRAVEL INFORMATION
Always check visa requirements beforehand. For most travellers, no prior visa is required for Namibia. However, please ensure that your passport is valid for more than 6 months after date of return and that the time period you are allowed to stay in Namibia, as indicated on your arrival form, covers at least the time of the hunting safari. Namibian immigration requires a minimum of three blank visa pages for each entry into Namibia. Other countries in the region may require more than three blank pages.
Parents travelling to Namibia with minor children should be prepared to produce unabridged birth certificates for their children demonstrating their parental relationship. Birth certificates should be original or certified copies of the original. When one parent is traveling alone with a child, he or she should present the unabridged birth certificate, plus a notarized consent from the other parent listed on the birth certificate authorizing him or her to enter/depart from Namibia with the child.
Please bring along any licenses you have for your gun. Upon arrival you will be issued with a temporary import permit for the gun. You have to declare the amount of ammunition upon arrival and departure. Maximum 100 rounds per rifle is allowed and must be packed separately to the gun, i.e. in your checked bag.
