Robbed & attacked by 3 men in Windhoek. Fought for my life, lost my phone & all my data. 2 arrested, 1 still on the run. After 2 weeks, nothing recovered.

🚨 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.
