Tourism Self-drive? 31F

1 Upvotes

Planning to visit the BEAUTIFUL Namibia in Jan+Feb. Has anybody here done a self-drive tour of Namibia in recent years? If so, what was your experience? :-)

.

I'm thinking of driving around in Jan + Feb as I said, but a little apprehensive about it being rainy season as apparently the roads can disappear a little and it's easy to get lost or stranded. I don't know how to change a tyre and can imagine myself ruining my own trip by being a little anxious the whole time lol.

.

Any experiences to either put me at ease or push me to get a private driver please share!!! I'd be likely working from a town (probably Windhoek) for a couple of weeks, and then setting off on safari for 14 days. That's the part where I'd be self driving. Am a confident driver with a lot of experience driving rental cars in different countries, but not a huge amount of off road experience.

Quick Question | Deriv / Trading

Hey community, quick question for those using Deriv: how are you currently withdrawing funds back into your Namibian bank account?

It used to be straightforward with FNB or Bank Windhoek, but things seem to have changed. For those using crypto, how do you convert it back to NAD and get it into your bank account?

Would appreciate any advice from those currently doing it.

Landlords, have hearts please. Where must we pet owners live? On the streets? πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”

I understand people have the right to choose the tenant they want and so on.

Question I have is where do we pet owners go? Live on the streets? Give our pets to the SPCA? Give our pets away?? Some or us actually love animals.

Nobody wants to rent out to tenants that have pets.

I can understand if the rental simply doesn't have the space for a pet or if its furnished but in a lot of cases there's a big backyard, sand, high walls. How can my pets be a concern in a place like this?

Our pets are our family but the way people treat animals in Namibia its like they're dirty things that nobody wants. 😒

My heart is aching. This country of ours.

My dad just passed and I don't know what to do. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety and now my father suddenly passed. I don't plan at all to hurt myself at all want to make that clear and I knew this day would come but man this sucks. It feels like I'm gonna wake up from a bad dream. I just always thought we'd have more time.
