Health & vaccines

  • No vaccine is required to enter: just make sure your routine vaccines are up to date. A yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from a country at risk: check the official rules.
  • Tap water is generally safe in towns; in remote areas, ask locally.
  • Malaria exists in the north (Etosha, Caprivi/Zambezi): ask a travel clinic about prevention.
  • The desert is very hot by day and cold at night: carry lots of water.
  • Travel insurance with medical evacuation is strongly recommended.

These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
