Namibia draws travelers with its vast national parks, the Namib Desert, the Skeleton Coast and wild nature you won\u2019t find anywhere else. For those traveling with a dog, the key point is that entry with a dog is possible and, on standard routes from the EU or USA, quarantine is not required.<\/p>\n\n

Entry requires advance preparation. The essentials are an import permit issued by Namibia\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture, valid rabies vaccination, your dog\u2019s health booklet, and a veterinary health certificate. The specific conditions, including any lab tests, are set out in the import permit itself.<\/p>\n\n

Just as important as entering Namibia is getting back home\u2014the rules are set by the country your dog is returning to.<\/p>\n\n

This article covers a normal, non\u2011commercial trip with a dog traveling with its owner or an authorized person. If a dog travels as cargo, for sale, with a change of ownership, or as part of a larger group of animals, different rules may apply.<\/p>\n\n
