🚨 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.

Arrived in Windhoek and got attacked and robbed by two armed men. Fought for my life, but lost my phone and all my data from Zanzibar to Namibia.
After 2 weeks waiting with no real progress, I moved on — disappointed and still shaken.
This happened right on the stairway in the video. More details on my blog.
