Namibia may seem ‘on the other side of the world’ to you but using your credit card is not an ‘out of this world’ concept when in-country. Most lodges and fuel stations will accept credit cards for payments and most major towns also have ATM machines for drawing cash along the way. We always suggest you have some cash on hand (about N$2000 maximum should be enough) in case a particular place does not accept a card payment or “the lines are down”, after all when visiting Namibia you are likely going into a remote area where this is well, possible. If you are a fan of American Express or Diner’s Cards, we’re afraid you’re out of luck as Namibia is not.
