Weather and What to Pack

At the time of the conference in September, Namibia's weather is typically dry, warm, and sunny. Daytime temperatures are moderate to warm, averaging around 27°C (81°F), while nighttime temperatures can cool down to around 11°C (52°F). Light clothing is advisable. It is, however, recommended that participants carry a few pieces of warm clothing.

Communication

If you wish to obtain a local SIM card, several operators are available in the country, including Telecom Namibia, CellOne, MTC, Powercom and MTN Namibia. Proof of Identity, such as a passport, will be required to register a local number.

Internet

All rooms at the recommended hotels have Internet access. During the Forum, the venue will also have wireless internet access. You can also access Internet service on a locally acquired SIM card, which will incur additional charges.

Electricity and electrical outlets

Namibia uses Type D and Type M electrical outlets. The standard voltage is 220V at 50Hz. If you are travelling from a country with a different outlet type, you will need an adapter to safely plug in your devices. See more about plug types here.
