So you're going to Namibia and have no idea what to pack?! Well fear not travellers because we are here to help! We have helped you compile a list of essential items you will need to take with you when you travel to Namibia, so follow this list carefully for the best things to take when you are travelling to the beautiful Namibia!
 

• A decently packed first aid kit is essential! There are large parts of the country in which you will struggle to find decent medical treatment so always making sure you have bandages, band aids and other medical essentials is always a good start. Make sure you have insect repellent and items that can help against malaria as well as medication for diarrhoea as these are common in the country.
  
  
• Bring lots of sun block, lotion for moisturising, hats and lip balm as Namibia is a very dry place in which you will find yourself exposed to the sun for long periods of time! Be very sun smart and you will soon be able to cope in the heat, although you should always be extra cautious all the time.
  
  
• Shoes that are great for walking and hiking. As Namibia is a country that is worth exploring on foot and doing lots of hiking and other forms of exploration you should make sure you even bring a few back up pairs of shoes for the long journeys you may find yourself taking throughout your trip. Always better to be safe rather than sorry!
  
  
• Pack yourself other items such as swimsuits in case you wish to take a dip in one of Namibia's many pristine watering holes, binoculars for a great view of areas from a distance, razors that are operated by batteries so that you don't find yourself in the middle of nowhere and nothing to shave with, a flashlight for night time viewing, dehydration solutions so that you can prevent yourself from becoming dehydrated as well as numerous amounts of clothes and of course a good camera to take as many memories of your trip back home with you!
