I reside in Windhoek, Namibia. The top things someone needs to consider when moving to my city include, the accommodation cost which is not expenses at all, the housing cost are quite fare. In addition to this another thing to consider is the cost of living which is unfortunately high due to transport and other living costs.

My city has a lot of mountains surrounding it. Certain roads and buildings reside on hills. There are so many cars to look at, taxi drivers yelling out for customers, and of course all the traffic. It’s an interesting place to travel to especially during the summer, we love it here.

Windhoek is the capital city of Namibia with tall buildings and beautiful night lights. Most of the industrial areas are found in Windhoek where one can easily get a job. It is very difficult moving around Windhoek from school, work, gym and shopping due to the high increasing traffic during the morning hours and knock off time. Windhoek is a beautiful city.

Be well versed in the English language as it is the national language of Namibia. Getting into a hotel or guest house is inexpensive, because of the growing tourism industry. Public transportation is relatively cheap, but be aware of robbers as you would any other place. Other than that, the people are very friendly and welcoming.

The price of cab to and from various locations within the city. Where Single Quarter is located for the best kapana. The locations to never visit alone in Katutura, especially if you’re new to town. Never go clubbing alone and always go drinking with people you really trust. Majority of cabs here are shared public transport, always greet people you find inside a cab, it is rude not to.

WIndhoek is the capital of Namibia and is thus the most densely populated city in Namibia. I recommend that someone who wishes to move to Windhoek considers finding accommodation closest to areas of their interest, such as their workplace, since traffic in Windhoek is nightmarish. This is not only due to the large number of vehicles during peak hours, but also due to taxi cab drivers who have a general disregard for traffic rules and are therefore participants in most road accidents.

We do not drink tap water, so be prepared to buy a filter or purified water from the shops. Sunscreen is a must because the sun gets really hot during the day. You must be vigilant at night, especially when you have to take a taxi. When we receive little to no rainfall, water becomes very expensive.
