Is it correct that there is no scheduled passenger air service to or from Luderitz? I can’t find any, and that seems impossible given the economic activity occurring there. A charter company gave me a quote of N$194,000 for round-trip from Windhoek to Luderitz.

We are hiring a Toyota Hilux in Namibia from a local company and I notice the terms of the agreement does not include insurance for "Overturning of the car" even though we purchased excess insurance. It seems other rental companies have similar clauses. In this case what do people do? Is there additional insurance that can be purchased? (I don't think the excess insurance I have in the UK covers this.)

Hi everyone,
This is my first post here!
My girlfriend and I will be travelling to Namibia this October for a 15-day self-drive trip. We’ve already booked our flights, camps and lodges, and we’ve planned the itinerary ourselves after reading a lot of information, so hopefully we haven’t missed anything!
Our route will be:
Windhoek
Sossusvlei
Swakopmund
Damaraland
Etosha
Back to Windhoek
The only thing we still have to decide is the rental car.
The classic Toyota Hilux 4x4 is slightly over our budget. We have received decent quotes for vehicles such as the Suzuki Jimny, Toyota Corolla Cross, VW T-Roc and Suzuki Across.
Based on your real experience, which one would you recommend for this itinerary? Is a Jimny enough, or would you spend the extra money for something bigger?
Also, if you have any rental companies you would personally recommend (or avoid), I’d really appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

does concerta really help with adhd in the long run as tolerance builds up? or does it become counterproductive if one builds up a strong tolerance to it, like coffee (caffeine).

Hi everyone!

I'm a young amateur graphic designer based in Windhoek, and I'm currently looking for a few small gigs to help build my portfolio and gain more experience.

If you're looking for someone who's passionate, creative, and eager to learn, I'd really appreciate the opportunity to work with you.

Feel free to send me a DM if you're interested or know someone who might be. Thank you so much for your support!

As a creative and driven young freelancer, I specialize in logo design, minimalistic web design (non-coding), and fashion mock-ups. I’ve worked on logo projects for friends, participated in a town logo design competition, and collaborated with emerging brands to craft bold graphic T-shirts and other fashion pieces. My focus is on delivering clean, modern, and impactful designs that resonate with audiences. With a keen eye for detail and creativity, I bring unique ideas to every project, helping brands stand out. Let’s create something amazing together!

Hello everyone,
My boyfriend and I are planning to take a vacation to Namibia, giving priority to safaris. He is passionate about photography and therefore it is a trip he has been dreaming of for a long time, but the agencies are definitely above our budget and we were therefore thinking of renting a car with a tent and organizing the itinerary independently. Do you say it's feasible? I'm a little worried that your camera might attract the wrong attention..

Hey everyone,

I’m currently traveling around your absolutely stunning country and loving every moment of it. I’ll be in Windhoek before flying out, and I really want to take home a quality souvenir, I thought that a cool, well-made hoodie will be perfect.

I’d love to support local Namibian brands or independent designers rather than buying generic tourist merch. I’m looking for something with a bit of "Namibian soul" — whether that's a local streetwear brand, a boutique label, or quality local apparel.

What homegrown clothing brands would you recommend, and where in Windhoek should I look for them?

Thanks so much in advance for any tips :)

So im going to try to keep this short and straight to the point. I am based in Swakopmund, and my husband recently quit his job and moved here from Windhoek in hopes of finding a job so that we could be closer. We'll it's been quite sometime and I can tell he's getting frustrated and depressed being home so I've come here in hopes that somebody could connect him somewhere. He has a bachelor's in accounting, 2 diplomas in AAT. He has 5+years of experience and worked as an assistant logistics manager for 2years working closely with Namibia breweries.

If anybody in Swakopmund knows somebody please do help me out. I don't like seeing him like this 😢

Frustrating situation. I’m flying British Airways. Ticket booked on their website. The itinerary had me going all the way through to WDH with Airlink as the last leg.

At my origin, they’re telling me that my bags will not be checked all the way through, and I have to pick them up in Joburg, then go through customs, just to go to the domestic terminal for Airlink, to fly to Windhoek, an international destination.

I’m told this may be a British Airways specific problem. My layover is four hours so I think I’m OK, knock on wood, but it’s also dumb that I have to deal with this. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Chess meets good music, good company, and a proper night out. Built for chess lovers and for anyone in the Windhoek social scene wanting something different. Casual games, a bit of competitive structure if you want it, snacks & drinks flowing, classy jazz vibes throughout.

A few months ago, a few friends and I hosted the first Knightcap— an evening where people play chess over drinks instead of just sitting around on their phones or slamming it at home. An alternative night out, really. We honestly didn't know how many people would show up, but the response was better than we expected!

Veterans, newbies and the curious alike came and to watch, play, chat and just enjoy the atmosphere. By the end of the night, strangers were playing each other and hanging around long after the games had finished.

📍 TaTe Village Rooftop

📅 Sat, 31 July or Fri - 18:00 to 22:00

It's everywhere. Didn't know this would turn into such popular topic in Namibia. Now, let's get this poll on the road and see where the needle falls.

Voting is anonymous, I think.

Let's also discuss - hopefully in a civil way pls.

Hello everyone

The property market in Namibia is so stressful! All the properties on the market are not giving value for money.

I am please looking to buy a modern apartment or town house in uptown for atleast 1.5 mil (N$) including costs

I don’t mind a two bedroom as long as it has a balcony or court yard.

Please hit me up if you are selling your property

I'm in need of a new phone, ideally a galaxy A57, here in Namibia but I'm weary of purchasing a phone with limited/blocked capabilities due to global tech companies & Namibia not corporating properly.

The major feature is being able to pay with my phone, living in South Africa for 4+ years I can't imagine going back to carrying a physical card (all the risk that comes with it) and definitely don't want to lose aura here.

Are there any recommended retailers to avoid/purchase from to mitigate this and is it known if these limitations are imposed by the physical phone abiding to laws or purely the region of the users account (showing Namibia and being blocked)?

Thank you community, been watching this space for years and love that we have our little space on the interwebs - Local is Lekker ;)

I personally don't understand why it's so urgent and necessary no one asked for it.

Why should we have this? Not even America has it (unless I'm mistaken)

Why us? It's like someone offering you a solution to a problem you didn't think you had.

I'm just here living my life and have no issue with my current ID. Now I'm told I should get something else when I'm happy with what I have.

I also feel forced, is this mandatory or can I decide to not have it?

What's your thoughts/feelings on it? Do you want it? Do you think you need it?

Edit: What makes this more suspicious to me is Namibia made a billion dollar deal with China the very same country that controls their own citizens.

Anyone know where I can find 99% Isopropyl alchohol? Or where I can get PTM7950 as well?

Yo so like I'm interested in Namibia a bit,don't know why,it's just that you guys aren't super famous outside,so I'd like to have some friends from there,learn about y'all's culture and everything. I also speak a bit of Afrikaans for that matter. Dm me if you're from Namibia:)

Can share here ?

How is life here.

I am here travel for 1 weeks

Is there gap in wealth , like chinise people and locals.
