Namibia Travel questions

[WAslayer]

Will likely be traveling to Namibia on short notice this week.. Was there way back when I was 4 years old or so..

Two questions which I am getting conflicting reports for on the interwebs:

Do I need a passport for my one year old or just his birth certificate..?

Appears that the Namib dollar and Rand are used interchangeably there..? So I should be fine just taking some Rands for the places that are not major towns or cities or if there are issues with card swipes..?

You will need a passport and unabridged passport

Rand accepted most places should be fine with rand and cards to swipe or draw money once inside.

Birth certificate that is

The laws regarding passports change a while back. Before you could include your children and wife on your passport. I think my Irish passport from 1994 still had a page for a wife. Now, every person needs a passport and children travelling in and out of SA require an unabridged birth certificate too.

Need a passport, SA KIDS still need unabridged Birth Certificate to leave SA, We use both currencies here as they are linked 1:1 , Beer is awesome, meat stunning, vistas magic....

Are you driving? You will need a SA Sticker on your car and you need to pay a road tax when entering the land of the Brave!
You may not bring Dairy products and chicken across the border, leave your chickens at home.....

That's about all that I have to say about this....
