Namibia is open to leisure tourists and is seeing strong visitor growth. Travel is generally normal but comes with meaningful practical risks in cities and on remote roads, so most official advice is caution rather than avoidance. Visa rules vary by passport, and a few nationalities still need to sort entry paperwork in advance.
