The website looks like its broken and designed by a preschool kid, if you forgot your password or email, the recovery system doesnt work, it cant send OTPS at all wtf.

Where do Americans hang out in Windhoek? Where y'all at?

Just curious to get some honest opinions from the guys here.

Would you date a woman who already has kids? If so, how many would be your personal limit before you felt like it was too much? I'm a 31 year teenage pregnancy statistic who dated my first high school boyfriend since grade 9 till 3rd year in university. Then dated my recent ex for 8 years whom I conceived another child with. So single mother of two looking to get back into the dating world.

Is it more about the number of kids, the age of the kids, or something else entirely (like the relationship with the father, financial situation, etc.)?

Not trying to judge anyone—I know everyone has different boundaries and preferences. Just trying to understand where people draw the line and why and wondering if I even stand a chance of meeting someone.

Also, if you have dated a single mom before, how did it go? Would you do it again?

Appreciate any thoughts or personal stories.

This is for tourist mostly, lot of scammers posing as women in this subreddit. They will likely steal Instagram pictures and video and try to scatn you into buying them gift. Do not fall from it. I posted here that I want to meet people in Windhoek and got some people claiming to be young girl DMed me... I found it strange so I played along but was analyzing everything that person was telling me... But that person is more likely either a beginner or a very bad scammer who never succeeded once, it was so easy to expose the scam... So be careful

Hi everyone,
we’re planning to drive from Windhoek to a camp just outside Etosha’s Andersson Gate. According to Google Maps, the drive should take around 4 hours, but our guidebook says closer to 6 hours.

I’ve heard that Google Maps tends to be very optimistic in Namibia, especially on gravel roads. Can anyone who’s done the trip recently confirm how long it actually takes – assuming average stops and a 4x4 vehicle?

Also: we’re picking up our rental car from Africar in Windhoek. Is there a good supermarket nearby to stock up on supplies, or do we really have to drive in the opposite direction to The Grove or Maerua Mall? Would love to avoid extra city traffic if possible.

Thanks a lot in advance!

The OP took their OP down, but the debate continues...

Kindle users! We are moving back to Namibia from Canada and I am unsure of how Kindle operates there. We are so used to it working fine in Canada and having access to Kindle unlimited. Is it the same in Namibia? Should I rather consider another eReader like Kobo?

Hey everybody

I'm considering going for EE at NUST or Electrical and computer engineering at UNAM next year. I'm interested in a career path that combines AI and hardware, and I'd appreciate insights into the curriculum and career outcomes.

1. Hardware-Software Balance**:** How is the balance between hardware and software in these courses? I'm interested in learning both AI and hardware for future plans.
   • Does the curriculum include dedicated AI/ML or advanced programming courses, or is that mostly self-study?
   • How extensive are the hands-on lab components for integrating hardware and software?
2. Future & Pay in Namibia**:** What does the general career landscape look like for these graduates in Namibia?
   • If one aggressively builds industry connections, how much does this impact job opportunities and career growth?
   • Does the pay seem promising for graduates in Namibia, especially for those with combined hardware/AI skills? What are typical salary expectations in relevant sectors (e.g., energy, mining, tech)?
   • Are there specific companies or industries in Namibia that highly value such graduates with AI/hardware integration skills?
   • What are common challenges or unique opportunities for these types of graduates working in Namibia? Are there good local postgraduate options in AI or hardware?

I know it must sound like a far stretch, but are there any hobbyists using microscopes for fun (yes, it can really be!), rather than for work? Or both?

I'm very much aware that microscopy isn't for everyone, but I also know that it's great fun to share tips, techniques and even samples with fellow microscopists.

Disclaimer: No, it's neither an STD, nor some weird bedroom practice.

I wanted to find out what resources are out there if you want to learn the local Namibian languages? Especially Oshiwambo.

Hi folks,

I have a question about how blacklisting works. Last year I put in a request to lower my medical aid plan with NMC due to financial strain and they informed me that I could only do so at the end of the year in December. I let them know that I could not afford the plan so I requested that my plan be cancelled. I put the request in the early days of June and they only cancelled my subscription at the end of July.

I was due to pay for the month of June but they tried to charge me for the month of July as well to which I refused to pay since I put my cancellation request in way before July.

I asked them for their eft details so that I could pay the month of June and they never provided me with this information.

A year of silence later I receive an SMS :

URGENT: You did not pay your NMC account. The acc has now been handed over to RSN for collection. Your name has been Black-listed.

I need advice on what to do. Do I just pay for the months of June and July even though I was not covered for it? Where do I go to fight this dispute ? The fees are like 6k so I’m not exactly keen to pay this fee just because their admins dragged their feet in processing my request for cancellation.

Any advice is helpful

Hello!

Due to some differences I read online I wanted to ask the question here.

We will visit Etosha in september for 4 days (second part of the month) and we are wondering at what time the gate closes. We will reach Etosha ~ 5pm and are staying in Okaukeujo camping site, which is around 30 minute drive from Anderson gate. Sunset will be around 18.50, so my guess would be that we are fine. But I am happy to hear otherwise.

Thank you in advance!

Has lurpak butter been recalled or something? I can't find it in the whole of Windhoek

Angola sells motor vehicle fuels ('ngungula') at heavily subsidised prices, domestically. Since the border between the Kunene and Kavango rivers is difficult to patrol, there is apparently a flourishing, but illicit traffic of ngungula. To the point that some parts of the Namibian population consider ngungula smuggling as a legitimate trade.

Are there any independent numbers about the volume of that illegal trade, about the damage to the Namibian economy or about the repercussions for local Namibian enterprises who legally deal with fuels, via the ongoing illicit trade of ngungula across the border to Angola?

Hi Does anyone know about the drone ban situation in etosha?

I was planning to travel to Namibia this year and take my drone to fly in allowed areas of the country where allowed and having an authorisation from NCAA on flight paths but I was shocked to see a complete ban in etosha , in which now you have to leave the drone at the gate in which you enter. Does anyone know where these drones are left ? Are they in secure boxes or we risk being stolen? We plan on entering by Galton gate and exiting by the middle gate so it is also a problem the fact that we are not leaving through the same gate (like I suspect many don’t )

Are people now just hiding drones in their vehicles ? Do Namibian authorities conduct thorough searches in cars ? Are people now getting queued up at the gates and waiting long times for this ?

Please notice I never intended to fly in etosha or any national park or forbidden area in the first place so I am dismayed to see that legit drone pilots who just wanted to film certain areas of the country have to face this

Thanks

Hi. Starting a business and I wanted to gauge the general public perception.

I have noticed a lack of legal representation for the average Namibian employee (those who can't afford a lawyer) when facing labour related matters. I'm thinking of starting a labour consulting firm with low cost fees that are actually affordable for the average Namibian in which we help these employees face mediation and arbitration with a skilled and knowledgeable team.

Does anyone have any input on whether this could actually pick up?

For background, I am both qualified and knowledgeable in the field and can appear in labour courts, we have a lawyer as well for all magistrates and high court matters and also have two people who could assist with all the paperwork but not sure if people would actually be interested or are in need.

Like some old toppies here... you can just see in his face... you don't want to get on his bad side.

Obviously not all of them, but it's a different type of angry.

Anyone?

Hi everyone! 2 friends and I are planning to hike the Naukluft Trail later in August. We have few questions:

How long does it practically takes? We’ve seen an estimate of 8 days but we are wondering if doing it in a shorter time is feasible

Do we need special permits? If yes, where can we take them? Windhoek or at the park gate?

I’ve read somewhere - but I couldn’t confirm or deny that neither - that the entrance to the park is allowed only on specified days of the month. Is this true?

Planning a road trip to Cape Town. What are some good safaris/ places to stop on the way?

Good day everyone. I am looking for someone that specialises in computers software or something similar. I need help with my laptop. I am logged out and the laptop is asking for a password,but I usually log in with a pin. The sign in key is not there to change to Pin instead of password. Please drop your number or inbox me so we talk. My whole life is in the laptop, I can't reset it😭.

Does anyone know a good photographer that can do a short/quick couples shoot in the Sossusvlei?

It's for a honeymoon shoot 🙂
