Namibia drives on the left side of the road. Like most countries, you need to have a valid driver’s licence, when driving. An international driver’s license is required when the driver’s licence is not in English. Wearing safety belts are compulsory. Road signs will indicate the relevant maximum speed limits. In general, maximum speed limits are 120 km/h on tar roads, 80 km/h on gravel roads and 60 km/h in towns. For your safety we would also recommend that you do not drive after sunset or cross running rivers. Overtaking of vehicles should only be done when you have an unobstructed vision of the road ahead.
