Overview

Major airlines fly from Europe, Australia and the US to Windhoek; however, flights are limited and it's often cheaper to fly into South Africa and go overland or by plane into Namibia from there. South African Airways and Air Namibia operate daily flights between Johannesburg (Jo'burg), Cape Town and Hosea Kutako International Airport, 42km (26mi) east of Windhoek. Air Namibia also flies twice weekly between Windhoek and Harare, Victoria Falls, Lusaka, Maun and Gaborone. There are border crossings from Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa and bus companies service these routes. Driving between South Africa and Namibia is quite comfortable on well-made roads, and it's also possible to hitch, although truckies expect to be paid these days (about 1.50 per 100km/62mi).
