I've driven in Namibia several times both in Windhoek and the northern regions including a couple of trips into Etosha. The main roads are quite good and the only safety concerns were other drivers. Do NOT drive at night outside of cities and towns. They drive on the opposite side for North Americans. Know how to operate a standard transmission as even among rentals automatics are in short supply.
