Organize your move to Namibia

When i came down to Namibia all i brought was my clothes, laptop, money and passport. Don't bring a bunch of stuff so you can make your life easier.
Don't try to bring any appliances or furniture you can sell them back in your country and buy here the same as a car. But if you wanna bring them anyways keep in mind that the transportation will be expensive and make sure you have proof of purchase of all of them.
Exception: laptops,cellphones, bycicles, and electronic stuff are pricey here so you might wanna buy them in your country.
Some kind of food it's not allowed even though the airport control is not as tense as that of Uk Australia or Usa.
Windhoek ( the capital) doesn't have much of sightseeing visit swakopmund, walvisbay and Etosha. P.s. All cities are calm and quiet.
And all of the above also applies if you are going out of the country.

Do not come to this country, if you are not a South African. This country is from the day before yesterday. Maybe you are in luck and will saty in Windhoek. Maybe, you will find some "friends" there. But the rest of this desert, forget it. You will be disappointed by lyers and suckers. They tell you the paradise and nothing will come true, if they don't get their profit out of you. Social life and healthcare are on the level of 1875 (European Standart)and you will definately fiend not real friend here. Come for holidays - that's ok, but leave. Do not work here longer than 6 month. It's the hell for your family as well. Bure are something, but not civilized enough for the western standart. I hope, we can leave this country as soon as possible. And believe me - I am not the only one.
