Namibia’s reported unemployment rate of almost 50 percent means that crime is an unfortunate part of the national economy; however none of that crime seems to have reached Swakopmund. Streets within the downtown area are safe and quiet, and most women feel comfortable walking around on their own at night.
Standard precautions when visiting a developing country hold true here: keep your wallet and mobile phone close, don’t wear flashy clothes or jewelry, and use common sense.
