# General Information

**Travel medical insurance**

We recommend that all participants obtain travel insurance for their trip, which covers the date of departure from their home country until the date of return. For personal health needs, remember to carry your medication.

It is also recommended to use bottled drinking water and not to consume tap water.

**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 (TN Mobile) and MTC. 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[ ](https://www.ashleyedisonuk.com/world-voltages/africa/voltage-ethiopia-920/)[here](https://www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk/guidance/advice-for-you/when-travelling/travel-adaptor-for-namibia/).

**Dietary Needs**

Namibian cuisine is a paradise for meat lovers. It features a blend of indigenous dishes and European influences. Should you have any dietary restrictions, please notify us by September 12, 2025.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cipesa.gitbook.io/fifafrica25/travel-note/general-information.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
