Rules in force · 11Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Across the subregion, plan every road leg to arrive befor…Do not walk in the centre after dark, even a few blocks
- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- Southern Africa ↗A rental car may leave its home country only with the rental company's cross-border letter, the registration papers and paid road taxes at each post; driving into Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique or Angola without them ends at the border.
- Southern Africa ↗Across the subregion, plan every road leg to arrive before sunset: livestock, wildlife, pedestrians and unlit trucks make night driving the main cause of serious visitor accidents.
- Namibia ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Namibian government sources before booking: since 1 April 2025 citizens of 33 countries, including the US, UK, most of the EU, Canada and Australia, need a visa on arrival or an e-visa.
- Namibia ↗Taking a rental car into Botswana, South Africa, Zambia or Zimbabwe needs written permission from the rental company and the right papers; ask when you book.
- Namibia ↗Etosha gates open at sunrise and close at sunset: you must be inside a camp or out of the park by closing time.
- Windhoek and Khomas ↗Do not start a gravel or highway drive after dark; collect the car in the morning after the first night.
- Windhoek ↗Do not walk in the centre after dark, even a few blocks: take a taxi or a hotel car door to door and keep valuables out of sight.
- Windhoek ↗Shared minibus taxis are not for luggage: use a pre-booked shuttle, a hotel car or a metered taxi whenever you carry bags.
- Windhoek ↗Visit Katutura and Soweto Market with a local guide or a tour in daylight, not on foot on your own.
