Tips and Advice on Namibia from Your Fellow South African Expats

Obviously, expat life in Namibia goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow South Africans is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Namibian mentality and way of life. South Africans in Namibia are a part of our community, calling cities such as Tsumeb, Lüderitz, Windhoek, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow South Africans in Windhoek, for example.
