Step 2: Touring By Public Transport: Public transport in Namibia is considerably better than in most African countries. However, it should not be compared with services available in first world countries. The below maps show the towns that can be accessed by the bus and rail services. It all depends on where you want to go and how you want to get there. Public transport may initially appear to be a bit limiting, but you might want to consider using this option to travel between the major towns and with a little advanced planning you could arrange to join one of the locally guided tour to the specific area or point of interest that you want to visit. Some of the car rental companies do not allow their vehicles to be taken out of Namibia (e.g. Victoria Falls). The scheduled bus service form Windhoek to the Victoria Falls operates only once a week, but it is much cheaper than self driving there..

For example, the overnight journey from Windhoek to Swakopmund takes about 8 hours to complete the approx distance of 350km and on the standard Starline Service there are no sleeper-cars or dining car. You'll be in a seat the whole journey and you should be prepared to take your own food and drinks with you, but with a little preparation you can get to many of the main towns in Namibia at a reasonable price. See the above map. For the Up-Market traveller there is the once per week famous and Luxurious Desert Express that operates between Windhoek and Swakopmund. It is a night train that will whisk you across the Namib under a star filled sky for a journey with a difference that you will treasure the memory for the rest of your life.
