SHOPRITE: THE BRAAI SUPPLY
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Name of Shop: SHOPRITE

    Do you need supplies for your Braai (Barbeque)? Shoprite is the consistently best place in Africa to get what you need. They even sell the firewood! This location is right on the main Independence Avenue. There is parking most of the time. They offer fantastic pre-marinated steaks (Texas Steak – yum), prepared salads of all descriptions, fresh bread, even pots and plates. A good variety of fresh vegetables, cold beers and loads of snack foods. They staff are friendly and prices are good by Namibian standards. Going out of town? Stop in here and refuel first!

    THE BEST WATER IN THE WORLD
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]


  • What To Buy: These are the 2 best flavoured waters in the world. Really. I found them at the BP fuel station in Windhoek. The pictured flavours, MARULA and NAARTJIE are amazing and beyond compare. Combined with that, they were ice cold! It gets hot in Windhoek so why have just any cold water when you can have heaven in a plastic bottle. Makers NESTLÉ has a full range of waters : Litchi, Lemon & Lime, Marula, Strawberry and Naartjie. Other manufacturers make some of these flavoyrs as well, but I prefer this brand.

    Enjoy! Also available at other retail outlets.

     Love the picture of the beautiful church on your opening page. Great information, advice & photos. The market I shop at here is also called "Shop Rite"! Like SL, I also zeroed in on the postcards too!
