Respect & manners
- Drive slowly on gravel roads: rollovers are common. Never drive at night (animals on roads).
- Fill up whenever you can: fuel stations are far apart.
- Ask before taking photos of people (Himba, Herero).
- Tipping: about 10% in restaurants; guides expect a tip.
- Check your visa rules before you go.
