Namibia Health & Vaccinations

Malaria and Yellow Fever


Namibia Health Information

As with any foreign destination, it is important to check with your doctor(s) well ahead of your departure date regarding vaccinations and other necessary health precautions. Compared to other African countries, Namibia’s healthcare system remains among the more advanced. The quality of care will begin to vary as one enters the rural areas.  


Malaria Recommendations for Namibia

Namibia’s capital of Windhoek poses no malaria risk. Cases have been found, however, in the regions of Kavango (East and West), Kunene, Ohangwena, Omusati, Oshana, Oshikoto, Otjozondjupa, and Zambezi. If your travels implicate any of these regions, it is strongly recommended that you consult your healthcare professional about anti-malaria vaccinations.
