The Nice Guy’s Guide To Meeting Women in Namibia

Rugged. Outdoor. Adventure. These 3 words best sum up travel in Namibia. Moreover, Namibia is an easy intro to Africa outside of South Africa. But what’s Namibian women like?

We’ll get into that below, but let’s first briefly outline Namibia’s history.

Namibia History

Similar to South Africa’s past, the native Bushmen tribes lived in Namibia since pre-history. Then, from the 14th century, black colonizers started arriving from Central Africa down to Namibia. These blacks were thus as much colonizing Namibia, as the Germans subsequently did towards the end of the 19th century.

Namibia was ruled by Germany for 31 years, up to 1915. After this South Africa took over. Around 1990, the black Namibians wanted to govern themselves. So, they gained independence. In hindsight, perhaps not the smartest move, as Namibia is mostly desert. They rescinded their rights to South Africa’s fertile lands. But at least, they now had their own country.

Namibian Women

Namibian girls vary from fair skinned Germans, to dark skinned tribal black girls (especially in the North). Thus, there’s a lot of diversity similar to South Africa.

Namibia has a tiny white minority. South Africa has 7 to 8% whites, while Namibia is at around 5 to 6%. Thus it’s the second largest white minority in Africa.

Some of these whites are of German descent, and others of Dutch South African (Afrikaner) descent.

The German descendants are said to be like the “old Germans”. The Germans before Germany became liberals. The E.U. Germany nowadays has their Marxist snowflake culture (except for the brilliant Alternative für Deutschland movement). Thus, Namibian German white girls are generally more conservative and religious, than their European counterparts.

Many Namibian girls study in South African universities. Namibia’s capital, Windhoek, a black city, does have a university. But South Africa’s universities are of higher standard. Plus, the S.A. university towns are fun. Thus, a girl maybe was raised in a town in the desert of Namibia, with more sheep than people. Then they go to a S.A. university town like Stellenbosch, Grahamstown or Potchefstroom, and they become socialites.

So, I actually got my Namibian flag long ago while I was living in Stellenbosch (South Africa). I met her off Zoosk, which used to be a decent app long ago (before Tinder). She came directly to my apartment. This was a cute Dutch Namibian girl, around 10 years younger than me.

Anyway, Namibia nightlife is heavily social-circle based. It’s a rural country with people living far apart. So they form social circles, and hang out together. Then, in these circles, they mingle with other circles. What binds these circles together is usually habits like heavy drinking, and occasionally also smoking pot. Of course, the heavy drinking is a general German cultural thing.

If you wanna date black girls, the larger Namibian towns will provide abundance. These girls are friendly. They don’t seem bitchy. Some of them are in good shape. As a foreigner, you’ve got exotic value. Thus, you’ll easily get and maintain the girl’s attention. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

My reasoning to go to Namibia

Colombia and Brazil shut their doors to Purebloods. Their corrupted courts and leftist scum politicians want everyone injected with their poison.

So, I drove to Namibia on 10 January 2022, from Cape Town. Because they currently have zero restrictions, except the PCR test on entry. It’s good to make use of these “restriction-free” periods to travel.

Why didn’t I fly?

You can easily fly to either Windhoek or Walvisbay, via Cape Town. If you fly back, you need a negative PCR test. But if you drive back, you only do a rapid PCR test at the border for around $10. If it does happen that you test positive, they apparently allow you to drive home to isolate for 10 days.

Obviously isolating at home, with all your belongings around you, is 10 times better than being stuck in some Namibian quarantine hotel or lodge. Thus, with all this covid (fake virus) bullshit, I try to always limit the chances of something going wrong.

At the border, I got through quick. I showed my negative PCR test. Customs briefly checked my bag in my car boot, I got the stamps, and no issue.

Transport Tips

Since Namibia is part of Africa, transport isn’t great, and the terrain is rugged. Thus ideally, you’d have a 4×4 vehicle to navigate the remote sites, rock formations and awesome desert landscapes. However, Petrol cost is much higher for a 4×4. So for me, keen on simply getting a week-long overview of Namibia, it was sufficient driving around with a regular sedan. At least, Namibian petrol is 25% cheaper than South Africa petrol.

The B roads of Namibia, e.g. the B1, B2, etc, are tarred and in good condition. Suitable to any car. However, the C and D roads are gravel dirt roads, for which you need a car with higher chassis, ideally a 4×4. Thus I completely avoided these lower-grade roads.

Getting around in Africa tends to be more expensive, ironically, than in the first world. For example, Europe has a great cheap bus and train network. But in Namibia, you have to book expensive tours or rent a 4×4 to self-drive.

These Namibian safari and desert tours tend to be very expensive. For example, it can be around $700 for 3 days. But you’re paying a reasonable price for their time, and the maintenance of their 4×4 vehicles.

For the best adventure, either do a full safari with a tour operator’s 4×4. Or rent a 4×4 with a buddy, then split the petrol costs. In this way, every road in this country will be accessible to you. This is the best way to see the whole country.

More tips

• Buy Biltong. Namibian game biltong e.g. Springbok, Kudu, Gemsbok, tastes equally good as South African biltong. This is dried, lightly seasoned meat. In USA they call it jerky.
• Water is your friend. In my car as I drive, I keep minimum 5 liters of water with me daily.
• The Namibian Currency “Namibian Dollar” or “N$” is pegged to and has the same value as the South African Rand. In this article, I use “$” for US dollar, and N$ for the Namibian Dollar.
• Get a local sim card from MTC as soon as you arrive. Petrol station shops usually have sim cards. I have a dual chip phone, thus I keep my local sim card, along with the Namibian sim card, active on the same phone. This is my current DualSim phone which you can check out at Amazon if you want a similar useful phone.

In the next section, we discuss a few of the Namibian towns.

Keetmanshoop

This is the tiny “capital” of Southern Namibia. You could jog around the town center in 15 minutes. It’s a small town, and quite dead. In these small Namib towns you’re lucky to find a decent restaurant. Notwithstanding a bar.

This area is as arid and dry as South Africa’s Northern Cape province. Similar to S.A., you may see a white couple or two in the supermarket, or sporadically a cute white girl. But it’s rare. Hot young girls want to escape the boring dead towns like Keetmanshoop, thus they tend to study and work in South Africa instead.

Keetmanshoop has a lot of tourism potential with e.g. the Quiver Tree forest close by. However, strangely there is currently zero tourism services on offer in this town. The guest house owner told me it’s because of low tourism numbers due to the scamdemic.

Mariental

After driving up from Keetmanshoop, the next town I encountered was Mariental. It’s smaller, even more boring, but at least a littler greener.

Windhoek (Part 1)

After that I drove through Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, and had lunch at Joe’s Beerhouse. This is the place that’s always recommended for tourists in Windhoek. They have really good food. I can tell its mostly social circle vibe. However, nothing should stop you from also flirting with the girls at the tables around you. The place seems relaxed anyway. Its a bunch of chilled people drinking, and eating venison meat. So they probably won’t make a fuss if you try to socialize.

It was rather empty in the daytime, on that particular day. At night, especially weekends, it’ll probably get very full. This means potentially long waiting times for food, thus more drinking.

After this, I simply kept on driving through Windhoek, eager to get to Swakopmund.

Swakopmund

First let me say that Swakopmund is a great place by general African standards.

Anyway, I arrived at the hostel around 8pm on 11 January 2022. The next day I went for a walk in the morning. It was quiet around the touristic beach area.

Moreover, as I mentioned, the covid hoax, and fake-science PCR test, is also keeping tourists away.

In Swakopmund, everything relevant to tourists is walking distance. On google Maps, they do point out the center of Swakopmund (you can also search “Swakopmund center” on the Maps app). Thus, try to ensure your accommodation is close to this area.

Peak season in Namibia is around Christmas and New Years Eve, and lasts only 3 weeks. This is the general length of Namibian workers’ holidays. During this peak time, accommodation options get really full. So you’d have to book a month or two beforehand.

When I visited, right after peak season, and despite the covid hoax, Swakopmund was not dead for daygame. By African standards, daygame in Swakop is decent. You could do an approach a day if you go looking for cute girls to talk with. In current circumstances, on good days you’ll find upto 4 or 5 girls to approach. Depending on your patience.

However, the main beach was empty almost all the time. It’s not a great beach for swimming, because of strong sea currents. But it’s still decent for tanning and some shallow water splashing.

There is surfing, but Cape town and South Africa’s surfing is more tourist friendly. Surf Classes was N$750 in Swakopmund. While in Cape Town you can surf and rent gear for half that price.

There’s a nightlife area around Soundgarden and the Desert Tavern. It’s mostly social circle, and small parties. Nevertheless, its the place to go if you want nightgame.

Restaurants close at around 9pm to 9h30pm. Purely for the food, a good restaurant recommendation is Swakopmund Brauhaus. Try the German Eisbein or Namibian Oryx steak.

Another nice place that attracts a few young socialites is Fachwerk Biergarten. They’ve got theme-nights such as Open Mic, Bingo, and Live music. Walk past in the daytime to see what’s on their calendar for the next week.

I stayed in two hostels in Swakopmund. The first was the Skeleton beach backpackers. They were mostly empty, except for me and the staff. There’s a good common area above the reception. However, there’s a better choice.

The better option, is where I spent the next 2 nights: Salty Jackal Backpackers (check it out on Booking.com).

Even though they’ve got only one 6 bed dorm, they won hostel of the year in Namibia for 2020. They do have nice private rooms as well. I recommend booking ahead of time for these.  They have a visitor-friendly guest policy. Thus, you’re allowed to bring a girl to your private room. If she sleeps over, simply pay for the extra guest the next day.

Their common rooms are also very good, and I wasn’t the only guy there.

Swakopmund is a German ex-colony. Thus there are many people around talking German. Although it could still be part of Germany, luckily it isn’t. Africa has its advantages. And I love the general “vaccine” scepticism and anti-mask sentiment in Namibia, with around 12% (?) of the population jabbed, compared to woke Germany with around 72% (?).

There are daily shuttle services available from Windhoek to Swakopmund for around N$400.

A final point, is that its really refreshing doing some English daygame in a foreign country. Last year, I went to North-Eastern Brazilian cities like Natal, Manaus (discussed in e-book), and even Floripa in the South. And it was often a pain in the ass when the girl could only talk in Portuguese. So I really enjoyed a few English daygame sets in Swakopmund, Namibia. However, despite Namibian coastal daygame being surprisingly not terrible, Brazil of course still kicks Namibia’s ass in online dating and nightgame.

Swakopmund Recommended Activities

Walvisbay

Walvisbay is the 3rd largest town in Namibia. After Namibia’s independence, South Africa’s government clung to Walvisbay for a few more years, as it has a valuable deep-water harbour for large ships.

Walvisbay is really close to Swakopmund, only a 30 minute drive. Dunes Shopping Mall serves both towns with well-stocked stores. Dunes will be the number 1 daygame option if you live in Walvisbay. When I was there, I noticed a few cute girls shopping around.

Otherwise, Walvisbay is an industrial port and fishing town. It’s not touristic, except for kayaking activities, sand-dune adventures, bird, seal and dolphin spotting, etc.

Thus, I simply drove through Walvisbay, and returned to Swakopmund. This would be the recommendation. Don’t sleep in Walvisbay, simply check it out with one of the above-mentioned activities e.g. kayaking. Then sleep in Swakopmund.

Walvisbay Potential Activities

• Walvisbay Half-Day Kayaking Tour (Viator)
• Moon Landscape and Welwitschia Tour (Viator)
• Walvisbay Half-Day Tour 4×4 onshore (Viator)
• 4×4 Desert Excursion to Sandwich Bay (GetYourGuide)

Windhoek (Part 2)

Windhoek, population 430000, is the most boring capital city I’ve ever been in. This is out of 55 countries (Namibia is #55). Windhoek is small, and you can drive through from South to North rather quickly.

The center of Windhoek is not a good area. It’s full of poverty, similar to central Cape Town – actually probably more like Johannesburg. The city centre is a black area. At night, there are aggressive vagrants walking outside. I would recommend definitely not walking alone in the city center at night.

The East of Windhoek is said to be the upmarket area, e.g. Klein Windhoek. I drove through this area, but its still kinda shit, as its mostly residential, with a few supermarkets and restaurants.

In central Windhoek, there’s German building names, dating from the colonial era. But not really any Germans walking around in the center of town, like in Swakopmund.

So I stayed 1 night in Windhoek, and it was enough. No one recommends Windhoek anyway. It is only a starting point for safaris. There are malls scattered throughout the city, e.g. the Grove Mall of Namibia. But who goes to Namibia for the sake of visiting shopping malls? Unless you’re desperately yearning for bad daygame.

Where to Stay in Windhoek

Chameleon hostel isn’t listed on Hostelworld. But if, like me, you ask around in Namibia, backpackers will tell you it’s the best hostel in Windhoek. There is another hostel in Windhoek, but it’s less central. At Chameleon you’re very likely to meet fellow travelers and have interesting conversations. It’s located in the city center. Thus it’s nice to walk around outside by day. But don’t walk alone outside at night. Here’s the link to Chameleon on Booking.com

I stayed there myself, and checked out the nearby Brewers Market with hostel buddies. It was a black, and noisy, disco. Like a Namibian ruin pub with a few different rooms to sit. It seemed safe inside. However, outside, typical of Africa, there are very aggressive beggars by night, who’ll follow and harass you if you walk alone.

Windhoek Activities

• Windhoek City and Township Tour (Available at Viator or GetYourGuide )

Online Dating in Namibia

There are a few cute girls sporadically in Walvisbay and Swakopmund to swipe.

In Windhoek 98% to 99% of the girls on Tinder are black Namibians. Swiping boots on the ground, it’s a very African city. So you’ll have a great time if you’re into black girls. However, Windhoek Tinder is bad for meeting white chicks.

Windhoek is the only Namibian city with a very active online dating scene. However, I would definitely have gotten an online date in Swakopmund if I stayed longer. But for short stays, I prefer meeting women in person.

Namibia can be like heaven if you like the black girls on the dating sites. You could pipeline some dates before you even arrive.

Surprisingly, there’s also a few cute Namibian girls on VictoriaMilan in Windhoek (register a free profile to check it out). It’s not as active as Gauteng in South Africa. But apart from Tinder, every other resource is helpful in Namibia and can’t be taken for granted.

Conclusion: Namibian Women

Everything is smaller in Namibia. There is smaller cities, smaller swimming beaches, smaller restaurant scene, smaller nightlife, and smaller dating pool. Thus, although Namibia is decent by African standards, it’s definitely worse than South Africa.

It very much also depends where in the country you’re based. Next to the sea, in Swakopmund or Walvisbay, you can have a good lifestyle. One or two daygame sets per day, good social circle nightgame, and a small amount of Online dating. This also consists of tourists moving in and out.

But if you’re in a rural small town like Keetmanshoop, you better be married or very well connected socially in that area. Otherwise, life will be hell. No wonder you often read about passion murders in small Namibian towns like this. If the girlfriend cheats, the other person go and kills the former sexual partner and person she cheated with. Because it’s hard to find a new sexual partner in the middle of the desert.

In Windhoek, it’s all about that career and earning money. There’s no other reason to want to live there.

The North of Namibia, which I didn’t cover in this post, is only for African Safaris, wild animal spotting, etc. This you also find in all the neighboring African countries.

So in the end, any country is what you make of it. Negativity will kill you in a place like Namibia. But with positivity, it can be a home. Look on the bright side. Germany is an absurd mess with the fake virus scam. Thus, if you’re still pureblood in 2022, the former colony Namibia is currently a better place to live. And if I had to choose, I’d live in Swakopmund – the best town of Namibia.
