Tips and Advice on Namibia from Your Fellow South African Expats

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 51ԹϺto look for fellow South Africans in Windhoek, for example.
