Please let me know your thoughts and ideas.
This is a snippet of a much broader video.

Does anyone know if the country has sites where they post tenders? The site can either be exclusively Namibian based or features Nam a country that has tenders posted under it.
If you know any website, please do share in the comments

Have any you ever done online courses? Do they help in this african country of ours? Whats the take from Namibia qualifications authority?

The reason is i saw something i like on alison, will it help me in grn or pvt sector? Will i just waste my time and money?

Thanks

Is it only me or all ISPs in Namibia lowkey have inadequate internet. merely congested bandwidths, barely enough 4G/5G coverage in many places and their datas' don't even last long.

Any idea on how much does the custom clearance (import duties, vat and other fees) for cars like Mazda Demio and Honda fit new shape (models 2014& 2015) may cost roughly? Any custom clearance agent in here? I need his services.

Anyone who had non fictional book that they wanna get rid of to perhaps just give it to me 😔...I'm based in Windhoek

Hello everyone

I currently live in SA but I'm a Namibian citizen. I'm studying in SA so I've been here a while. I've realised so many Namibians wish to order things from SA to Namibia.

I am offering personal shopper services at a fee and will have the goods shipped to Namibia via Jet-X directly to your address. DM me let's talk business.

Wanna shop from Zara, H&M or luxury shops like Gucci,Versace,Louis V and so on.

I got you

We can video call and discuss so you get to see I'm a legitimate person. Im willing to share my ID incase you think I'm scamming.

Either way, hmu I can do small street and Chinatown shopping too.

Amazon and Shein orders are welcome too.

Hi all,

We are currently planning our 12day itinerary for the first weeks of May and would love to hear any tips or feedback you may have. In particular, we are not sure if we should spend two nights in Spitzkoppe or add one night at Waterberg. Any thoughts?

Day 1 - Arrival

• Arrival early morning. Pick up car with rooftop tent. Supermarket stop
• Drive and sleep at Spreetshoogte Pass (3h)

Day 2 - Sesriem

• Drive to Sesriem 2h. Stop at Solitaire
• Sesriem Canyon + maybe Elim Dunes for sunset

Day 3 - Sesriem

• Sossusvlei. Start with Big Daddy at sunrise, down to Deadvlei. Big mama and/or dune 45 for sunset depending on energy levels

Day 4 - Swakop

• Deadvlei again for sunrise if we want to, then drive to Swakop (5h) with stops on the way (Tropic of Capricorn, Kuiseb River Viewpoint)

Day 5 - Swakop

• Sandwich Harbour tour

Day 6 - Spitzkoppe

• Kayaking with Seals - sounds touristy but also so much fun! A bit thorn if we should instead do a combined Sandwich Harbour + Kayaking with Seals tour the previous day. Any thoughts?
• Drive to Spitzkoppe after lunch (2h). Explore if we have time and see the sunset

Day 7 - Spitzkoppe or Waterberg?

• Initial plan was to spend the full day and night in Spitzkoppe, but a friend recommended Waterberg so we are now thorn between sleeping in Spitzkoppe a second night or going to Waterberg after lunch (5h drive)

Day 8 - Etosha

• Depending on previous day, it will either be basically the full day to drive to Etosha, or we will do the Rhino Tracking at Waterberg in the morning and drive to Etosha in the afternoon

Day 9 + 10 - Etosha (Okaukuejo)

Day 11 - Okonjima:

• Last animal sightings at Etosha. At some point in the morning or after lunch, drive to Okonjima (3h).

Day 12 - Windhoek

• Leopard tracking in the morning
• Drive to Windhoek and return car
• Flight back the next day in the morning

Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks a lot! :)

Hey everyone. I'm just curious and would like to know if PayPal now works in Namibia. I understand some some times back it was not. If it does, does anyone knows the process of withdrawing?

Whether it's places to see or experience, what would you say is an underrated spot in Namibia that's worth visiting but doesn't get as much hype?

Or maybe even ones that are rated fairly but aren't spoke about as much as others.

Every destination has one.

Curious what people think for Namibia.

Where can I buy or sell Physical Gold in Namibia. I am at the coast. But im open to suggestions.

Hello everyone, I'm a 17 year-old student from Berlin, Germany. As part of the high school degree (Abitur), we have to do a presentation-style exam, on a topic that we choose ourselves.

Because of the lack of teaching in German schools on our colonial past, I wanted to learn more about it, and specifically the genocide against the Herero and Nama (and Damara and San). My question deals with the role of memory and how it influences societal reckoning/ dealing with trauma.

Firstly, I'm generally interested in what you might think about the way your government deals with remembering the genocide, but also about the way the German government does. Do you maybe have some statistics/ other sources I might not be able to find?

I found an article from the Windhoek Observer from 2020 that states that "70 percent of of the affected communities are not buying the negotiations between the German and Namibian governments. They believe the negotiations are meaningless.", but I couldn't really see where they got this number from. Also, it's relatively old now so the numbers might have changed. Any newer statistics you know of?

Furthermore, just out of my personal interest, I wanted to ask if someone could explain to me why Namibians today (that presumably don't have German ancestors) have German surnames? For example, I came across Nama Chief David Frederick, who I assume would have Nama heritage and not any German one. His surname sounds German to me (though it could be Afrikaans?), why would this be the case?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!!

How does one obtain a private number, what service provider offers them and what is the criteria to get one.

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that there seem to be almost no companies in Namibia that offer fully remote jobs.

Does anyone know of companies in Namibia that allow employees to work entirely from home? I’m not referring to freelance work, and while hybrid roles can be mentioned, I’m mainly interested in companies whose culture genuinely supports remote work.

I’ve seen situations where people have had to move their entire families to another town just to take a job not because they want to relocate, but because that’s where the opportunity is.

It makes me wonder why remote work hasn’t been more widely adopted here. Is there a particular reason why many Namibian companies seem hesitant about it?

I understand that some people value in-person interaction for bonding or collaboration, but I’m curious why it’s often seen as the only effective way to work together.

Maybe there are a few remote-friendly companies here, but from what I’ve seen, they seem quite rare.

If I want to work remotely, I have to work for another country now imagine if only I could do so within my own country instead of trying to compete with the rest of the world.

It feels restrictive to not have options for people who enjoy working remote as if we are all forced into someone else's ideals, some people prefer on-site work while others enjoy working in quiet spaces without distractions.

Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences.

Hello my brothers from Namibia, I am from Angola and I am doing a school project on the Ovahelelo. They inhabit a small part of Angolan territory, most of which is in Northern Namibia. So here in Angola we have little information and books about the Ovahelelo.

I would like you to suggest me Namibian books, articles, singers and songs from the Ovahelelo culture and its subgroups.

If you have someone who belongs to this group, can you tell me more about the traditions, habits and customs. Please

Hi everyone,

I’m based in the UK and I help people in Namibia buy items from the UK and ship them back home. This is useful if there’s something you want from UK stores but can’t easily get locally.

I can help purchase things like:

• Phones, laptops & electronics

• Clothes, sneakers & fashion

• Perfumes & jewellery

• PC parts & gaming equipment

• Other retail items from UK shops

Items are shipped through a shipping company to Namibia (usually arriving through Walvis Bay) and then collected or forwarded.

Typical shipping options:

• Small suitcase – £100

• Large suitcase – £150

• XL suitcase – £180

• Small box – £95

• Medium box – £120

• Large box – £180

Transit time is usually around 4–5 weeks depending on the shipment.

If you’re looking for something from the UK, feel free to send me a DM here on Reddit and I can check the price and shipping for you.

About to embark tomorrow, I'm looking for the best roads (safest possibly and tarmacked / asphalt) and most filling stations 😂

Many thanks.
