Some say that Namibia is a land God made in anger, but to us its beauty, splendor and diversity make it the “smile on the face of Africa”. Namibia became independent on March 21, 1990. After adopting a unique constitution, the country has been ruled by a democratically elected and politically stable government ever since. The physical infrastructure in Namibia is equivalent to first world countries and is maintained to a high standard. People are generally friendly and hospitable.

CURRENCY - The official currency is the Namibian Dollar which exchanges at the same rate as the South African Rand. Thomas Cook and American Express exchange houses are located at the Airport. All major credit cards/travellers cheques and bank notes are accepted throughout Namibia. Banks in Namibia are open for business Mondays to Fridays from 09h00 till 15h30 and Saturdays from 08h00 till 11h00.

LANGUAGE - English is the official language of Namibia, although a total of thirteen languages are spoken by its richly diverse population. We speak fluently English, Afrikaans and German and can help ourselves in French.

CLIMATE - Namibia has a dry climate and you are advised to bring along a moisturizer and a sun block cream. May through August are our winter months. Warm clothing and gloves are essential. The rainy season normally starts in October and ends in April. During this period shorts are recommended.
