Cheap Flights to Namibia

Here are some airlines that fly from the UK to Namibia:

• Lufthansa 

• Ethiopian Airlines

• British Airways

You cannot fly nonstop from the UK to Namibia right now. All flights include at least one stop, with the most popular routes going through Germany or Ethiopia. The smoothest option for most travellers is to fly with Lufthansa. Ethiopian Airlines also runs regular flights with a connection in Addis Ababa. British Airways sells tickets to Namibia, too, but the second leg of that journey is run by Airlink. 

• Hosea Kutako International Airport (Windhoek)

• Walvis Bay International Airport

• Windhoek Eros Airport

• Katima Mulilo Airport

• Ondangwa Airport

• Lüderitz Airport

Most flights from the UK to Namibia take between 14 and 18 hours in total. If you fly with Lufthansa or Discover Airlines, you’ll usually fly from the UK to Frankfurt or Munich first. That part takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. From there, the second flight to Windhoek is just over 10 hours.

If you take Ethiopian Airlines, the flight from the UK to Addis Ababa is about 7 to 8 hours. The second flight to Windhoek is shorter, but the total travel time still ends up in the same (14 to 17-hour range).

Yes, Namibia is generally safe for tourists from the UK, but it’s important to stay alert and take basic precautions. The UK Foreign Office does not warn against travel to Namibia, but there are some risks to be aware of.

In Windhoek, theft and muggings have been reported, even during the day in busy areas. It’s best to avoid showing expensive items and to use trusted taxis. Keep car doors locked and windows closed, especially when stopped in traffic.

Outside of cities, try not to drive at night. Wild animals and farm animals often cross the roads, and this can be dangerous.

To enter Namibia, British citizens need a valid passport and a visa. Your passport must be valid for at least six months after your arrival, and it must have at least three blank pages.

From 1 April 2025, UK travellers must have a visa to enter Namibia. You can get this on arrival or apply for it online before you fly. If you're coming from a country where yellow fever is a risk, you must show a yellow fever certificate.

The best time to visit Namibia is from May to October because this is the dry winter season. If you're planning a safari, this is the ideal time. Animals gather at waterholes, especially in Etosha National Park, so your chances of seeing wildlife are much better. The coast stays cooler all year round, but places like Sossusvlei and the desert areas are far easier to explore during winter.

The cheapest time to visit Namibia is between January and March. You’ll see lush landscapes and beautiful colours during this time. Migratory birds are everywhere, and many animals are young. While the heat can pick up, and rain showers are common, the experience is still rewarding.

Some parts of April and late November can also offer good prices if you book early. The peak travel season runs from June to September, so anything outside that window is usually more affordable.

Economy return flights from the UK to Namibia usually cost between £750 and £1,050. These prices depend on the season and how early you book. If you prefer more comfort, premium economy seats cost around £1,200 to £1,800 return. Business class fares usually start from £2,000 and can go up to £3,000 or more, depending on the airline and route.

Yes, British citizens now need a visa to visit Namibia. This rule has been in place since 1 April 2025. You can apply online in advance or get a visa when you arrive in the country. A visa costs NAD 1,600 (around £69) for anyone aged 12 or older. Children between 6 and 11 pay NAD 800 (about £34.50), while kids under 6 can enter free of charge. If you're travelling with children, you must bring their full birth certificates.
