## Before you go to Namibia

To enter Namibia there are 9 things to sort out before you leave, starting with “Accommodation in Etosha and Sossusvlei, well in advance”: they are all, with their deadlines, in [the Namibia checklist](https://kokai.app/en/paises/africa-y-oriente-medio/namibia/#antes-de-salir). Currency: Namibian dollar (NAD), pegged to the South African rand, which is also accepted; plugs: Type D and M · 220 V · 50 Hz (the chunky South African plug: you need a dedicated adapter); emergencies: 10111 police · 112 from a mobile · 911 private ambulance.
