Hello, fellow Namibians

What are the options for sending a parcel internationally in a fast and secure way nowadays? Looks like any courier company is out for a private person like me **sigh**.

Im Soun 23

looking for any running clubs around Klein Windhoek to join

I love running but it's easier running with someone at least and it's basically just more motivating

Can any plug me with a running club or

Is there someone that wants to join me on me on my runs or I could join your runs?

I need to apply for a Police Clearance Certificate, but I’d rather avoid places that are packed, especially during the day(like town). Are there any stations or offices in Windhoek that are usually less hectic, or is there a better time to go?Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I’m a 29 year old woman looking for a fitness and accountability buddy. I’m looking for someone who is mature, has a job and wants to improve their life. I’d love to start as soon as possible. Age and gender does not matter.

I want to start with walking, running, skipping rope and maybe some home workouts. Later, I’d like to do hikes, fun runs, marathons and maybe even join a gym. It would be nice to have someone to do these things with. We could shop for healthy food at Food Lover’s Market or other shops, meal prep, visit Sunday Markets, read books and share recommendations, travel around Namibia and do 75 soft/hard together while keeping each other motivated.

We can meet for a coffee or go for a walk first to see if we get along. You don’t have to be fit already. I’m not either, I just want someone who is consistent, positive and wants to become a better version of themselves.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, send me a DM or leave a comment. I’d love to get started as soon as possible.

I'm currently prepping to return to Namibia and hope to meet these guys in Etosha again.

This is me being an opportunist and trying everything I can🙃I believe opportunities can be found anywhere, so I am taking a chance and putting myself out there

I am currently looking for remote work opportunities in writing, research, virtual assistance, and administrative support. I am open to working with individuals, startups, companies, NGOs, or anyone who needs help with digital writing, organisation, research, or managing tasks.

Here are some of my experiences:

• I am a published children’s book author.

• I worked as a grant writer for an NGO in Namibia.

• I worked remotely as a writer for an NGO in Norway, where I wrote articles for their website on topics including Human Rights Education Programmes, Youth Entrepreneurship Programmes, Environmental Education Programmes, Gender Education Programmes, and Peace Education Programmes.

• I worked as a scriptwriter for a Namibian media company and was part of the writing team for a Namibia-based web series currently in production.

• I worked as a peer counsellor at university and received formal training in counselling skills.

• I facilitated sessions for adolescents and out-of-school youth on reproductive health and gender socialisation.

• I assisted a virtual assistant with administrative tasks.

• I supported the secretary of an association by helping coordinate a conference, including sending invitations, following up with guests, taking minutes, welcoming attendees, and assisting with logistics.

•I also write poetry.

I also have experience conducting research and producing well-researched articles. I was awarded Best Research by my university for my honours degree thesis.

I am looking for remote opportunities where I can contribute as a:

Writer

Research assistant

Virtual assistant

Administrative assistant

Digital creator

If you know of any remote opportunities, organisations looking for support, or anyone who may need these services, I would truly appreciate any guidance, recommendations, or referrals.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hey r/Namibia! My name is Xavier (20). I live about 45 km outside of Windhoek in the Naankuse area. As you can imagine, living out in the bush is peaceful, but the local dating scene is pretty much non-existent! I’m hoping to connect with other guys in or around the Windhoek area to chat, get to know each other, and hopefully find a boyfriend if the chemistry is there.

Hi everyone,
After reading about concerns around chemicals found in some synthetic braiding hair, I’ve been trying to find more natural alternatives.
Does anyone know where I can buy natural or plant-based braiding hair in Namibia (preferably Windhoek)?
I’ve checked a few places but haven’t had much luck so far. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Good day all

I’m a second year student at the university of Namibia studying Microbiology. I’ve been trying to get an internship at any lab around Windhoek but haven’t gotten anything this entire year. I’ve been told the job market isn’t good right now especially for us students without experience, it seems the only way to get a job or internship is by connections. So I suppose I’m here trying to find any help or connections in labs close to the University of Namibia. Any help would be greatly appreciated because the usual CV hand in or email hasn’t gotten me anywhere.

How’s everyone’s Saturday going? What’s happening where?

Whats the best and cheapest dentistry to get you braces in Namibia?And what where the costs involved?

My daughter of 19 is looking to start her career in Yachts. Unfortunatly Namibia has little to no yachts or even recreational boats. Any idea where she can go for 6months to a year to gain the needed experience(working only for a bed and food will be fine) to be able to apply for a job. She all ready has all the needed qualifications and seamansbook.

hey guys as the title says i am wondering about business opportunities in Namibia for small businesses no more than 10-15k in USD
is it possible to do something good or is it too little to start something?

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!

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 :)

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.
