In Namibia two associated plug types are used, types D and M. Plug type D is the plug which has three round pins in a triangular pattern and plug type M is the plug which has three round pins. The plugs are the same as in South Africa. Voltage in Namibia is 220 V.

Yes! Self-driving in Namibia is not difficult and if you keep your speed in check, you’ll find it’s a thoroughly rewarding and exciting travel experience. There is very little traffic on the roads, and with so few roads, navigation is very easy. Be aware of potholes and washboards on the not paved roads. Most frequent issues are flat tires because of the dirt roads. If you know how to change a tire, you'll be fine!
