Road conditions in Namibia are apparently deteriorating rapidly due to the increase in traffic and a lack of maintenance.

"It is actually an under statement to say that the dirt & gravel roads in Namibia is in a bad condition. The Namibian gravel roads used to be their pride, with graders often observed at work on the country (far away) roads. It is a such a pity that the road conditions are negatively affecting Tourism in our beautiful neighbouring country. We are considering cancelling ALL our bus tours in Namibia in 2018 - due to the poor road conditions."
