QUIET AND ORDERLY

by DAO - last update: May 8, 2008

The climate of Namibia can be harsh and journeys around this beautiful country can be challenging. Windhoek is an oasis of peaceful modernity and convenience. It is a great place to recharge the batteries before setting off for more natural adventures. It has plenty of shopping, restaurants, hotels, parks, historical museums and places of interest. Despite a long list of amenities it still has a small-town laid back atmosphere. It is clean, efficient and easy to park and walk around. All cities should be just like this.

GOOD MANAGEMENT

The Government of the City of Windhoek has the following values:

Winning Team!
I nnovation
N etworking
D iversity and Equity
H onesty and Integrity
O pen Communication
E fficient and Effective

They do a good job. The city is well run and their services and websites are excellent.

 I have also tried the sink experiment - it is a myth! GREAT page here. I schooled in Windhoek and was at the boarding house in Ausspanplatz MANY moons ago. My home was in the south in a place called Oranjemund on the banks of the Orange River.
