🚨 Travel Warning from Namibia 🚨

I arrived in Windhoek full of excitement for my journey across Africa… and within hours, everything went wrong.

I was attacked and robbed by two armed men on this very stairway. The first went straight for my stomach with a knife, while the second came from behind, aiming for my ribs. In that split second, I had to fight for my life. I managed to throw the second attacker down the stairs, but the first escaped with my phone and all my data, including everything from Zanzibar to Namibia.

I survived, but it was terrifying. For two weeks, I waited in Windhoek for police action. Nothing happened. No phone. No SD card. Just disappointment and frustration. I eventually had to move on, shaken but alive.

Because of this experience, I cannot recommend Namibia for tourism anymore. The landscapes are stunning, but the risk of violent robbery is real.

I’m sharing this so others can stay alert, protect themselves, and make informed decisions. Travel can be amazing, but sometimes the worst can happen when you least expect it.

📹 The video below also shows the stairway for a short moment where it all happened.

Green: At the bridge entrance I got robbed.

Red: Two attackers came from both sides with knives and tried to stab me. I held one. When I threw the other head-first down the stairs, the one I held ran away.

Blue: He hit his head against the steel and passed out.

In 1 hour I found out more than the Namibian tourist police in 2 days. Travel here? Not recommended. 1.6k visa isn’t worth it.

Two days ago I was attacked by two armed robbers right after arriving. Had to fight them off. Phone stolen.

GLOBAL WARNING — US STATE DEPARTMENT ISSUES WORLDWIDE ALERT

The US State Department has issued an unprecedented worldwide security alert advising all American citizens globally to exercise heightened caution. Following the initiation of US combat operations in Iran, the State Department warns that Americans everywhere—particularly in the Middle East—should follow guidance in the latest security alerts from nearest US embassies or consulates.

Travel disruptions are expected due to periodic airspace closures across multiple regions.

Americans are advised to register at https://step.state.gov for latest security alerts, follow "US Department of State – Security Updates for US Citizens" on WhatsApp, and review travel advisories at travel.state.gov.

This is believed to be one of the most extensive global alerts issued by the State Department in decades, reflecting official assessment that American citizens and interests may be at elevated risk worldwide.
