Worked for 2weeks at the old national museum building under Wits University and I must say Windhoek one of the cleanest cities. I was impressed during my stay there. Planning on visiting and touring Namibia in the near future.
Well done Nick. As a fellow Namibian, your video was well detailed, showing exactly what someone visiting Windhoek for the first time. I'll forward this and the rest of your videos to foreign friends. New subbie here.
I went to Joe’s when it was down in Eros. Also their was the open air swimming pool that now has a shopping center built on the site. Thanks for all the information you supply Nick ❤
I just feel like I've been to Windhoek 🤣🤣 Another super great video with ample information. So there are fatcakes in Namibia? We call them magwinya in 🇧🇼..Lovely.. Wil I need a guide on my first trip to show me around the city??
most locals will calm them junkies, no idea where that comes from, and the lazy ones call them fat cakes, i mean lazy cause it is translated directly from vetkoek. A guide... not really, just walk and drive around yourself, its so small...🙈😆
I have been to Namibia many times and I good very good memories FROM PEOPLE , FOODS , IMMIGRATION.... AND ROAD TRIO FROM WINDHOEK TO SWAKOP WAS EPIC.Munch love from DRC
Hi Nick, like always it has been a huge pleasure to watch this vid! You will become my main source of information to plan my next year trip (6 months with my wife and kids). By the way, I allow myself to ask you a stupid question. Stupid because it will be difficult to answer, but just let your inspiration guide you: I must slowly book some places in Botswana for June-july 2023 and I plan to travel 7-8 weeks in Nambia before, do you think it’s exaggerated? I was there for 3 weeks in 2014 and I just cover half of the country and it was before having the kids. (I plan to make 7-8 weeks in Namibia, 4-5 in Botswana, 4 in Zimbabwe 4, 5 in SA)!! Thanks in advance and keep your contagious smile
Hi Peter, If you are planning on seeing the entire country then I think that is about the perfect amount of time. You can do it a bit faster, but then it is long distances of driving everyday, only spending a night at a place etc Take your time, if you like a place stay an extra day or if you hear about some other place whilst there you have the option to make a quick detour.
Thanks Nick, you just convinced me that we aren’t totally wrong with our planning! Looking forward to know where you’ll be next year during our trip. It would be a pleasure for us to meet you on the road or in the bush!!
I'm coming to Seattle in Namibia I love my country zambia 🇿🇲 we have everything but I also admire to know more about Namibia while me living with people from there
Thanks great video very informative looks like a Beautiful place to visit wondering what’s Windhoek like when it comes to safety ? Saw online quite a few sites saying it’s not the safest?? is it Over exaggerated? And should one be fine if they bring camera gear etc
Recently, we've had problems with petty theft especially stealing valuables from tourists, they usually identify them from the rental vehicles. I travel with all my gear in my car, but keep it out of sight. Spread your money and credit cards around, if they do steal your wallet at least you only loose a little. But if you are vigilant and an experienced traveller you shouldn't have any issues.
I am going there for the first time next month and feel like I have been already. I am doing a tour but do wonder if there are taxis at the Grove Mall or do I have to do dial a cab? Hotel not far but don't want to walk.
Is there ATM machines at Windhoek Airport in Windhoek city? Because I’m planning on visiting Namibia and Cape Town in South Africa by the end of October for my two weeks vacation .greetings for Montreal Canada.
Yes there is one in the airport as you go through the arrival doors. Its a Bank Windhoek and dispenses South African Rand which is accepted 1:1 in Namibia. Or if you visit South Africa first you can just bring their money with you
@@NickfrNamibia thank you very much for your response and I hope you have a great day. By the way I really enjoyed watching your great videos. I have learned a lot thank you.
The water is like bribing! No matter what you say ... In Kenya they call it "soda" ... They all try at the roadblocks. Their employers are supposed to cater and care for them. Should be a complete natural part of employing them! Having said that, very informative video 😷🇪🇺🤓
You are funny... Water is not like soda. We get water for free from the tap in Namibia. I always carry extra for when I meet people that need. There's no need for me to try and bribe a police official, I got nothing to hide. Thanks for watching and glad it was informative!!!
@@NickfrNamibia I think I didn't make it clear that I was talking about Kenya .... I also never had anything to hide. Always made sure there was nothing that they could pin me on and yet they asked. If it was only about people being out in the sun and needing water, it would be no problem at all. But in Kenya you have to buy water .... So you are lucky in Namibia 😁
Namibia has always been a country I wanna travel too. Everyone always ask me why and I always say I don’t know but I really wanna go there. What currency do they use? And can South African money be used there?
Hi wots cheapest backpackers in Windhoek? Ur gonna settle in Katima? I've been there the Crocs almost ate me. Thought twas wood logs. A gal dived me Outa Zambezi Riva in time
@@NickfrNamibia I remember Katima only had one street. I booked in at geani fowl but didn't pay. They were too scared of me. I used to rob the robbers lol along my way tru Africa.
You now need to get a letter certified at the police before you get a sim. The letter you need is from MTC. Get the letter, get it certified and get the sim.
For me it is between the AWEH GIG will give you 1GB plus other benefits for the week and the SUPER AWEH 3GB + 90GB during 00:00-06:00 plus other benefits. Currently I use the Super Aweh to upload my larger files to the internet during those hours 00:00-06:00.
Namibia is so beautiful and very clean 😍 love from Malaysia ❤️🇲🇾
Thank you😁
@@NickfrNamibiahai
Very nice to see our own Namibian telling our own story.
I just can’t get over how clean this city is.
Its pretty decent😁but used to be cleaner back in the day. Use to win cleanest African capital year after year, know I think it Kigali
It is one of Africa's Cleanest City's and Richest City's.
i was there for 2 months, i love this country so much !!! i wish to live there
Worked for 2weeks at the old national museum building under Wits University and I must say Windhoek one of the cleanest cities. I was impressed during my stay there. Planning on visiting and touring Namibia in the near future.
When was that If I may ask?

Thanks Emi for the sub and spreading the word, appreciate the kind words especially coming from a fellow Namibian, means Im getting it right🙂
beautiful and very clean, Manuel Escano from Chicago.

That’s how you pass the road block😉
As easy as that😂
U just shared ur water with that thursty officer, thanks u r human

I went to Joe’s when it was down in Eros. Also their was the open air swimming pool that now has a shopping center built on the site.

I remember those days...went for a couple of swims in that pool

Thanks James🙂
This the perfect vlog Channel have been looking for
Thanks Kene🙂
It seems a nice quiet place, not many people around which Is a blessing.
i like your video well done
thanks🙂
I googled Windhoek image.. the second image was the church
haha nice and the rest? mostly the church? i think i got my point across that the image is heavily associated with Windhoek...
Thanks for sharing, this is one of the best videos I've seen about Windhoek. Well summarized. Well done bro. Cheers from Angola.
Thanks so much👍🙂
I hope u cover all other specific tourist towns u will travel thru same way u did today.
Going to try my best😅
Best place in Africa I normally stay at Sundown Lodge 20 kilos outside Windhoek on the wat to Okahandia fantastic place
Thanks Peter, in my opinion as well, but Im bias, it's my capital😁
Namibian look modern and like europe in Africa.
many parts do, but we also have some bad areas.
You guys need asian migrants like Chinese, Japanese, Koreans or Taiwanese they will be a great contribution to Namibian society..
Good
thanks John
🙌
Outstanding Performance Nick.....you missed independence avenue where i used to work.....at gathemann.....keep going

We use the Namibian$ adnd yes the SA Rand, it is 1:1
Information about the private taxis please brother
check the description in that video. there are some links
Great introduction - (hint) is the department of tourism a patron ?
Are you saying I should ask them? Or do yiu work there, then yes pls😁
@@NickfrNamibia I Am saying after 5k subs you should definitely email them.
Hi wots cheapest backpackers in Windhoek? Ur gonna settle in Katima? I've been there the Crocs almost ate me. Thought twas wood logs. A gal dived me Outa Zambezi Riva in time
Not sure which is the cheapest...left bacpacingk many many years ago. but yes im settling in Katima
@@NickfrNamibia I remember Katima only had one street. I booked in at geani fowl but didn't pay. They were too scared of me. I used to rob the robbers lol along my way tru Africa.
😂it is a bit bigger now
What was the other language you were speaking (I was assuming Afrikaans)? How do you know which language to speak to people you meet?
correct, Afrikaans
You now need to get a letter certified at the police before you get a sim. The letter you need is from MTC. Get the letter, get it certified and get the sim.
This is correct, used to be easier when I did the video
What from France 🇫🇷
Nick from Namibia🇳🇦 Enchante
Would you have a recommandation of the pre-paid plan that offer the best value for your money with MTC ?

If anything wasn't clear have a read through here 5410africa.com/get-a-mtc-sim-card-in-namibia/
I french and cameroonian and i feel both european and of course african because cameroon is central africa.
As white namibian do you feel african ?
I do, I was born and raised here and know no other home...
Nice , thank God all that covid nuttiness is gone eh?
