To summarize the U.S. State Department Travel Warnings:

 Namibia has a stable democratic government, a "moderately developed economy," good medical care in cities and large towns, and good roads.

Unlike in East Africa, Namibia has had no terrorist attacks and no attacks directed against Americans.  Namibia, the former Southwest Africa, has no population base supporting Islamic extremists or other radical groups.

Namibia has a lower crime rate than the East African countries
and South Africa, with a much lower rate of crimes of violence.

Reasons Why Namibia is the Cleanest Country in Africa

traditions remain influential in many regions of the country

Namibians with Germanic and Afrikaner ethnic backgrounds
control many businesses and tourism operations, and
they usually impose European standards of quality

 garbage collection and other cleanups
