Do I need Yellow Fever for Namibia?

Only if you are arriving from a Yellow Fever risk country (most of sub-Saharan Africa or tropical South America). If you are flying directly from the UK, you do not need it. Aqua can sign and stamp your ICVP if needed.

Do I need malaria tablets for Namibia?

Only if your itinerary covers the Caprivi Strip, Kavango or northern Etosha, especially November to June. Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and the south are malaria free year round.

Is Rabies really worth it for a two week trip?

For self-drive trips, yes. You will often be hours from a hospital and post-exposure treatment in remote Namibia is difficult to source. The pre-exposure course buys you time and simplifies treatment if you do get bitten.

How soon before my trip should I come in?

Ideally 4 to 6 weeks before departure, especially for the Rabies course. Even 2 to 3 days before departure is worthwhile for Hep A and Typhoid.

Travel vaccines for Namibia, at a glance

Namibia is not a Yellow Fever risk country itself, but you will need a YF certificate if you are arriving from a YF risk country. NaTHNaC recommends Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Rabies for most travellers, with malaria prophylaxis if your itinerary includes the Caprivi Strip, Kavango or northern Etosha during the wet season (November to June).

Hep A, Typhoid and Rabies

Hepatitis A and Typhoid are standard for all Namibia travel and can be given together as combined Viatim. Rabies is strongly recommended for self-drive trips. The two-dose pre-exposure course (days 0 and 7) is much simpler than scrambling for post-exposure treatment in rural Namibia.

Malaria, north of the country only

Most of the popular Namibian itinerary (Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, southern Etosha) is malaria free. The northern third, including the Caprivi Strip, Kavango region and northern Etosha, is a seasonal malaria zone. The pharmacist will prescribe atovaquone/proguanil or doxycycline depending on your dates.
