Medical
No inoculations are required to enter Namibia. The Northern most part of Namibia is a
malaria area, being particularly prevalent during the spring and summer moths of October
to April. Malaria does not occur in the Gras region. If you are planning to go north and do
decide to use malaria medication, consult your doctor before your departure, as you may
need to start the treatment two weeks before it becomes fully effective.

Climate
The winter (May to September) temperature may vary between a high of 77 F (25 C) to a
possible low of 32 F (0 C), with very low humidity. Normally it is cold in the morning,
again once the sun sets. In the summer (October to April) the temperature will typically
reach 90 F (35 C), although heavy storms are possible, which rarely last long. Sometimes
the rain doesn't make it to Namibia at all. So wet weather is nothing we are really to
concerned about, and ii it does rain you'll get to see Namibia in a completely different and
possibly even more exciting light.

Clothing
Here is a guideline when thinking of what to pack. Clothing should be of neutral color,
green or khaki-tan, lightweight but protective. Comfortable footwear is very important. A
good hat is essential. Don't forget sunscreen, 1 warm jacket, 1 warm sweater, 2 pairs of
footwear, 1 set thermal underwear, 4 shirts (long and short sleeve), 2 pairs of shorts, 2
equipment (don't forget extra film and batteries), flashlight and ear protection muffs.
Please bear in mind that you will be miles away from any shop or mall and it will not be
possible for you to go shopping. Don't forget to bring you own toiletries that you might
need. If hunters smoke it is recommended that they bring their own cigarettes along to the
ranch.
