But first, let’s talk about Namibia a little. I recently visited Namibia and I would gladly recommend it to anyone planning to visit the amazing African country.

Why Namibia?

Namibia is a beautiful country in Southwest Africa, large in size – with an area larger than Germany and France combined (or even the whole of the United Kingdom). The country is sparsely populated – and of course gloriously uncrowded, with a population of about 2.5 million people. With an area of 824,292km², it’s almost the size of Nigeria, which is an area of 923,763 km² with a population of about 200 million. (Say What????) The country welcomes visitors from across the world, the people are friendly and it’s a safe and easy place to stay and explore.

The universal appeal of Namibia lies in its rare natural beauty, stunning landscapes, beautiful coastline, untamed wilderness, pleasant climate, a variety of game parks as well as the oldest desert in the world. It’s a place where something new awaits you every day.

Windhoek is the capital city of Namibia, and also the major gateway to the country. It has an area of diverse natural beauty, and a stunning variety of scenery. The city boasts a wide range of things to do and see too. Take a break from your everyday routine and step into a modern metropolis steeped in African charm and culture. There’s so much to know about Namibia and you will learn more on our website.

When you arrive in Namibia, your Nigerian passport must be valid for at least six months and of course, you must have a valid visa. Let’s take a look at the required documents for visa application to Namibia.
