WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN NAMIBIA

Hearty meat and vegetable stews, spiced jerky and the famous Windhoek Lager… Namibian food is all about comfort and we’ll show you where to find the best eats in the country.

BILTONG

Love munching on jerky? Then you’ll quickly get addicted to biltong, Namibia's answer to this dried meat snack. It’s made from cured meat, like beef, ostrich and wildebeest, and is spiced with all kinds of herbs like coriander. It’s the country’s go-to snack and you’ll find it everywhere from markets to restaurants.

POTJIEKOS

It doesn’t get more comforting than potjiekos, a heart meat and vegetable stew, flavoured with alcohol like sherry, beer or wine for an extra kick. It’s traditionally cooked in a three-legged cast iron pot and will bubble away over an open fire for hours. Grab a bowl and find out what this is one of Namibia’s favorite dishes.

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN NAMIBIA

Use water wisely

Water shortages are a huge problem in Namibia, and you can do your bit to save water by reusing towels and sheets and using buckets provided in the shower to catch water which can then be used for things like washing.

Be kind to the dunes

Most dune plants and animals live just 10cm under the surface, so if you go walking or quad biking through the dunes, always keep to the trail, drive slowly and avoid damaging the plants and wildlife.

Be fire safe

Fires burn hard and fast in the desert and can be extremely destructive, so make sure you never drop matches or cigarette butts on the ground.
