Getting to Okangawa

Fly into Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA) near Windhoek. If you bring your own rifle, choose your route and airline with that in mind: see our guide to travelling with firearms.

Since 1 April 2025, visitors from many countries need a visa for Namibia, including the United States, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Nordic countries and most of the EU. For these nationalities it is a visa on arrival: you can apply online in advance on the Namibian government’s portal, or at the airport when you land.

The UK Foreign Office gives the fee as NAD 1,600 for travellers over 11 years old. The German Foreign Office says the visa is usually valid for 90 days and multiple entries. Applying online before you fly saves time at the airport.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your trip and have at least three blank pages. If you arrive from a country with a risk of yellow fever, you need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Children travelling need extra documents, such as a birth certificate; check the rules before you book their flights.

About 222 km from Hosea Kutako International Airport via Windhoek and Okahandja, roughly 2 hours 30 minutes. The last 20 km is on the D2404 gravel road, which is fine for a standard rental car.

If you’d rather not drive, we can collect you: the airport transfer from Windhoek is €450 (≈ $520) per vehicle, return trip, for up to 4 people per vehicle. The day you arrive is charged as an arrival day.
