No specific vaccinations are mandatory for entering Namibia, but consulting your doctor is recommended.

Malaria is only present in the northern region. Windhoek and our weekend getaway locations are situated in malaria-free zones. If you do decide to travel further, you can easily get Malaria tablets in Windhoek during your stay.

Namibia is one of the safest – and cleanest – countries in Africa.

Like anywhere, you still need to take care of your valuables. We recommend not wearing valuable jewelry, and not leaving anything visible in the car. Besides these sensible guidelines, which apply for every big city, we know you’ll feel very comfortable on the streets of Windhoek.

For comparison, Namibia has just a ‘Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions’ US travel advisory, lower than countries such as the UK or Germany which are ‘Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution’ due to terrorism threats. South Africa is also Level 2 due to crime and civil unrest, while Morocco is Level 2 due to the threat of terrorism.

Three key points that contribute to the safety in Namibia:

Low crime rates: Namibia is known for its lower crime rates compared to many neighboring countries, making it a safe destination for travelers and digital nomads.

Stable political climate: Namibia enjoys a stable democracy and government, which contributes to the overall safety and security within the country.

Well-developed tourism infrastructure: Namibia’s tourism industry offers well-maintained roads, accommodations, and national parks, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors.

With all this in mind, our coliving property still has a perimeter wall, security gate and night watchman. Our coworking space has additional door security and private rooms have a lockbox – but please note, we cannot take responsibility for any of your belongings, you really must look after them yourselves.

Namibia is very extensive and it is not possible to see what it has to offer during a day trip. Therefore we recommend to book the self-drive weekend excursions of at least 3-4 days, or the longer christmas safari tour (14 days), after the december coliving ends. For day trips you could go for hikes on farms around Windhoek.

Windhoek offers the opportunity to visit cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs, but also fitness studios, museums, cinemas or shopping malls. Whether you enjoy karaoke evenings, bush drum courses, visiting the township, art exhibitions or handcraft markets – you will be able to keep yourself busy and entertained in Windhoek. If you want to go for a hike it is possible at several farms and lodges around Windhoek. You can go for a nice hike or drive with the mountain bike at “Farm Windhoek” or go for a hike and see giraffes and zebras close to you at the Lodge “Dan Viljoen”.

You can reach a shopping complex which is called Eros Shopping Center within a 5 minutes walk. It has a well equipped supermarket, a cute little bakery, a pharmacy, a gas station, a butchery, a small café with daily fresh lunch menu, a pizzeria called “Robertos” and several ATM machines. The popular Joe’s Beerhouse restaurant is also just around the corner of the Eros Shopping Center. You can also walk to the popular “Urban Camp” bar in 10 minutes to enjoy a cocktail by the pool.

Windhoek is full of street taxis. Those are the cars with random numbers written on it. You can simply stop taxis with a hand signal and point in the direction of where you want to go. If the taxi is heading in the same direction and there is space within the car then it will stop for you and ask your where you want to go. You share those taxis with other people the taxi driver pics up on the way. This sometimes means that you do not drive the shortest way to your destination since you drop off other people. One kilometer costs 13 NAD which is approximately 0,70 Euro. If you want to order a private taxi, a start-up called ‘Lefa’ is similar to Uber. During the pandemic, this has hygienic advantages and is recommendable when you want to order a taxi at night. One Uber ride starts at 50 NAD.

Namibians love meat! The meat in Namibia has a really good quality since animals like cows and antelopes roam on thousands of hectars of farm land. You can eat meat here without having a bad concious afterwards. What Namibians also love is to have BBQ’s! They BBQ almost every day. But they call it a Braai (Afrikaans). You can also try a lot of traditional food like the pap, stew, spinach and Mopane worms. If you are a foodie you will love Namibian cuisine. If you go to restaurants it is sometimes a bit rare to find a big variety of vegetarian meals since Namibians love their meat so much! But you will still be able to find some vegetarian dishes.

On a self-drive weekend trip you can choose to visit one of the highlights of Namibia and explore it for 3 – 4 days. Weekend excursions we recommend are a trip to the desert to visit Sossusvlei with its famous dead trees, or a weekend trip to the coast to visit Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, another weekend trip is to go to the Etosha National Park to watch animals like lions and elephants. Those are the main highlights of Namibia. Just keep in mind that Namibia is huge, you drive long distances to reach your destination! At least you need 3 days to explore one of the highlights, which inlcudes leaving on a friday morning. At best you are able to take that day off from work.

The airport is 30 – 40 minutes by car from Windhoek. We can help arrange a pre-booked taxi to collect you on arrival.

Windhoek has huge shopping malls with everything you need for clothes or groceries. In addition to the big shopping malls and groceries stores like Super Spar you will also find small local markets to buy fruits and vegetables. 

If you want to cover all the highlights of Namibia in one tour, we recommend at least 12- 14 days. If you have three weeks then we recommend combining the highlights including the Caprivi Strip and Victoria Falls.

The property is in the Eros district. Eros is a quiet part of the city which is reasonably centrally located. From Eros you can quickly reach the city center where there are popular bars and restaurants.

Each guest must take care of their visa requirements. In Namibia it is common to get a 90-day tourist visa upon arrival. Most tourists don’t need to apply for a visa in advance but please double check what is required for your nationality.

You’re welcome to join our private Slack group in which the community can exchange ideas and get to know one another. In this Slack community there will also be local Namibians who are happy to answer your questions and will keep you informed about local events.

Please bring a plug adapter for the coliving. In Namibia plugs are Type D or Type M. Adapters are available to buy in Windhoek. Please also bring along a multi-socket extension lead if you have multiple appliances. We recommend packing any material needed for skill-sharing or mastermind events. We can provide a projector and sound system.

WildWifi does not manage flight bookings, every participant must book their own flight. Please make sure that you book a flexible ticket in case of pandemic-related travel changes. The airport in Windhoek is called Husea Kutako International Airport, it is a short 30-minute taxi ride from Windhoek City Center.

Every participant is obliged to travel with valid international health insurance which should also cover the treatment of COVID 19. WildWifi does not cover any accident or health insurance.

The self-drive weekend trips and the christmas safari tour are NOT included in the coliving price. Once the coliving experience begins we will finalise plans together for the self-drive weekends. We pre book the whole self-drive weekend getaway for you and brief you in detail on where to drive and what to expect. You just have to fill up the fridge and off you go with your 4×4 rental car. The Christmas safari tour is a special tour we plan to do at the end of the december coliving, this one you need to book upfront by the time you book the coliving room. The weekend getaways can be booked 1 – 2 weeks prior to the start of each weekend getaway.

Airport shuttle (we can share information on reserving the shuttle), food and drinks (accommodation is self-catering), weekend getaways and safari tours (these can be booked at our accommodation reception) and the coworking spaces in town.

Accommodation in our Windhoek coliving for the desired period (1-2 months), a coworking space within the property, towels and bedding, cleaning service 2x a week, a pool, free tea, 5 Liter free drinking water per day in the coworking space, toilet paper and laundry detergent.

You can only book with us monthly, except the December coliving, there is the option to book a three week stay due to the Christmas Safari we start from December 23rd.

This link leads you to the page to view each room: https://wildwifi.co/coliving-rooms/
This link leads you to the prices of the rooms per month: https://wildwifi.co/pricing/

You can choose whichever option suits you – you’re welcome to stay for the whole of November plus December or book one month and stay either November or December. But what I can tell you from the experience of our last coliving participants is that they regret not booking two months. If you only book one month, time will pass by so fast, you feel like it only started but then you have to leave already. It is way more relaxed to book two months, also since you are not forced to do a weekend getaway every weekend, you can also have weekends to chill in Windhoek in between. If yo only stay one month you easily get the FOMO and you feel the urge to jump from weekend getaway to weekend getaway.

As soon as you have decided which room and package that best suits you, please contact us via email at hello@wildwifi.co and we will send you an invoice and a payment link for the deposit. The payments can be easily done by credit card. The invoice is in Namibian Dollars.

By the time of the booking 20% deposit is due. 
8 weeks prior to the start of the coliving the final payment is due.

People who plan to take a 4-week holiday to Namibia without working remotely whilst staying with us. The coliving will be a healthy mix of both work and fun – focusing on work during most days, but also enjoying the country and travelling during weekends or once the coliving concludes.

Our coliving is for all those who are able to work remotely -including the self-employed, digital nomads, entrepreneurs and freelancers. Those who take part in our colivings enjoy living and working as part of a community, to exchange skills and to get to know the country, the locals and it‘s culture.

The coliving is first come, first served. As such, a place can only be booked at the last minute if places are still available. In the event of short-term cancellations, we will contact the next person on the waiting list – refunds (minus deposit) will only be available if someone on the waitlist can take the place. We encourage waiting list reservations so please ask! A short-term booking for ad-hoc nights might be possible, we will only know if places are available much closer to the time – these nights are then charged pro rata.

Once the coliving is fully booked, further booking enquiries will be placed on a waiting list. In the event of a cancellation, we will contact the waiting list.

The rooms are assigned to the same gender. We will do our best to match you to a suitable roommate. If you want to swap roommates during the coliving, you are welcome to do that on agreement with the other party/parties. If you join our coliving with your bestie or your partner you will, of course, share one room.

You have the option to book a single room with an ensuite bathroom. This will cost 150 Euro extra and there is only one available – it is first come, first served. All other single rooms will share bathrooms.

It is possible to deduct the coliving & coworking from the tax as it is a business trip. However, how this can be implemented exactly, each participant has to ask his tax accountant.

We survey our members and the enooooormous list of people interested in joining WildWifi, so know a thing or two about what people like and don’t.

The big problems most of us find with coliving are:

• Lack of cleanliness and messiness. It’s important to set ground rules and create environment that people respect.
• Privacy and personal space. If private rooms aren’t an enjoyable space to spend time, we can offer struggle finding personal space. This is a big focus for us along with having plenty of small areas to hide away in.
• Inconsiderate behavior. Sounds simple, but it’s not!
• Cost. Some colivings are in super trendy locations and charge extortionate amounts to stay without much community or friendliness. WildWifi is in Namibia where the cost of living is lower (although some items have high import tax!) and we partner with local businesses to offer a great experience that is more affordable and also benefits the local economy.
• Distractions and productivity. Have you ever tried working in a hostel!? It’s terrible. What you need is a coliving with a dedicated workspace and mindset geared to doing the best work of your life – not people running around backpacking in partying all day.
• Limited availability of single rooms. A lot of digital nomads travel solo and like to enjoy a room to themselves. This is obviously beneficial but does come at a greater cost. Colivings are already made affordable due to the monthly rates, and single occupancy rooms provide less income than doubles. 

Adjusting to new people. Yeh, this can be tough. At WildWifi, our ambition is to have a good number and variety of people at the coliving but split into smaller clusters. This gives you the benefit of meeting lots of people but the connection of a tight-knit group. We also organise a Welcome Night Braai BBQ and many other social events.

WildWifi typical attracts remote working professionals, digital nomads, freelancers, contractors and entrepreneurs, so the average age is typical higher than some people imagine. The average age is 33 with the range being 26-45 years old.

Coliving offers digital nomads and remote workers a lot of perks:

Wallet-friendly: Shared living cuts costs, making lifestyle locations more accessible.

Connect & collaborate: Meet fellow professionals, expanding your network and making friends for life.

Amenities galore: High-speed internet, coworking spaces, and more cater to your needs. Pool included!

Flexibility: Short-term and long-term stays accommodate your nomadic lifestyle.

Tight-knit community: In a coliving, you’ll benefit from the support of a strong community, forging friendships and enjoy social events.Stress-free living: Focus on work and personal growth while we handle utilities, maintenance, and cleaning. All bills included, plus a cleaner, maintenance team and laundry service.

Coliving comes in all shapes and sizes! For digital nomads and remote workers, it’s a concept that involves becoming part of a community around a building that offers shared living spaces with private bedrooms. Coliving fosters a sense of community, facilitates networking, and provides amenities such as high-speed internet, coworking spaces, and social events, making it an ideal choice for location-independent professionals.

Namibia is the second least populated country in the world. Outside of the few larger cities, it is therefore one of the best destinations for social distancing. We will be socialising as a group and you run a low risk of contact with other tourists during your travels. However, it is mandatory for every participant to do a rapid test before you head off to any self-drive weekend getaway or the christmas safari tour.

If some of our participants get COVID during our coliving we are able to seperate the group of positive people from the negative tested people. The coliving accommodation is a big complex of two houses which makes it easy for us to quarantine the positive tested people from the negative tested people. Still the negative tested people should quarantine themselves on their side of the house for a few days to be sure not to be infected by COVID. It is possible to request a doctor to come to the coliving space to test everyone with a rapid test or a PCR test. This way you do not have to leave the house to do any tests. The medication you need for your treatment will be delivered by the pharmacy. We will take care of your grocery orders while you are in quarantine. People who need to extend their stay because of quarantine have to pay those extra nights at the coliving.

Public events, church services, meetings, concerts, conferences with no more than 200 participants may take place in compliance with hygiene and distance regulations and advance registration. Shops, shopping centers, restaurants, hairdressers, laundries, fitness studios, cinemas, theaters etc. are allowed to open provided that hygiene and distance measures are observed. The sale and serving of alcohol is only permitted between certain times.

When entering Namibia, a certified PCR test (taken within 72 hours prior to arrival) must be presented. This also applies to travellers who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Tourists and visitors must present a booked travel programme (Our coliving accommodation) and two health forms, which can be found on the Internet portal of the Namibian Tourism Association website (www.namibia-tourism.com/aktuelles/). Proof of travel health insurance that covers treatment costs in the event of a COVID-19 illness must also be submitted. Namibia does not impose any test obligation for outgoing tourists. Tourists are encouraged to consult their destination countries in this regard. It is mandatory to wear a mask in public. The local distance and hygiene rules must be observed.

There are two places to take a PCR test done before you leave, we recommend contacting them in advance to avoid delays in securing your test:

The Windhoek Central Hospital is one of the biggest hospitals in Windhoek and one of two state hospitals. It has a capacity of 855 beds. There are three recommended private hospitals, also with high standards: Lady Pohamba (134 beds), the Windhoek Medi Clinic (120 beds) & the Roman Catholic Hospital (87 beds).

The accommodation will provide hand sanitiser in all rooms and disinfectant spray for surfaces. All guests will be asked to disinfect your desks in the coworking area after use. The accommodation is cleaned and disinfected several times a week. It is important to observe the recommended hygiene measures and distances between one another during your stay.

Two people will be available as your hosts during the coliving. This will be Christine Bay, digital nomad and founder of WildWifi and Tuta Nangolo, a local Namibian who manages our accommodation. Together, Christine and Tuta will take care of your needs and ensure you to experience an authentic Namibian adventure.

Our coworking space is one large room with desks and office chairs. Around the accommodation there are many alternative ways to work, such as the dining room, a covered outdoor area or desks inside your private bedrooms. If you feel like a change of scene, there is a coworking space, cafes and bars nearby where you can work.

Everyone provides their own food and drink. There are several kitchens available with refrigerators, every participant has their own section.

The Wifi is a 60 Mbps fiber connection. This extends throughout the property (in all rooms and into every corner of the coliving).

A bathroom is shared on average with your roommate and two other people.

No specific vaccinations are mandatory for entering Namibia, but consulting your doctor is recommended.

Malaria is only present in the northern region. Windhoek and our weekend getaway locations are situated in malaria-free zones. If you do decide to travel further, you can easily get Malaria tablets in Windhoek during your stay.

Namibia is one of the safest – and cleanest – countries in Africa.

Like anywhere, you still need to take care of your valuables. We recommend not wearing valuable jewelry, and not leaving anything visible in the car. Besides these sensible guidelines, which apply for every big city, we know you’ll feel very comfortable on the streets of Windhoek.

No, booking a safari tour is always optional. Be aware that there are limited spots only for each safari. It might be that a short-term decision to join is not possible anymore.

The spots on the safari are primarily reserved for coliving participants. If we still have places available at a certain point in time, we will also be happy to give them to participants outside of the coliving. However, an interview should be conducted to ensure that it remains a harmonious group of like-minded people.

The cars are usually manual. We can not promise to get an automatic car since they are usually more expensive to rent and rare in Namibia. If you can only drive automatic cars you might not be able to be a driver but a passenger.

Yes, there is a possibility to ride as a passenger on the tour. There is usually a good balance of people who want to be drivers and passengers.

The lodge nights are the luxurious nights where we sleep in a room with a bed and a private bathroom. We share the rooms at the lodge with the same partner we share the tent with. There are (limited) options to upgrade to a single bedroom. The lodges do come partly with air conditioning or a fan. The lodge nights usually come with included breakfast and dinner. For lunch, you can order something from the restaurant and pay for yourself. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks (not included) can be ordered at the lodge’s own bar. Lodges usually come with a beautiful pool and invite you to relax before heading back into the bush.

If we are not camping at a campsite we will be camping in the wild. This means that our tour guide will choose a safe place in nature for us to set up camp. There we will have neither toilets nor showers available. You do your business in the bush and wash yourself in the morning with some water from the supply vehicle. Camping in the wilderness is usually one of the most enriching experiences of the participants. The maximum of wild camping nights in a row is usually 2 nights. After that we are either back at a campsite or a Lodge.

A campsite in Namibia offers a lot of comfort and is more comparable to glamping than camping. Nevertheless, there are also differences in each campsite in how extensive this luxury is developed. Basically, there are hot showers (warmed up by either the sun, fire, or electricity), toilets, running water, washing-up facilities, and some campsites that provide electricity to charge electronics. Often there is a main house that belongs to a lodge with a pool that you may also use as a camper. In the main Lodge house, you can also use the restaurant if the group is not cooking together.

Yes, the mattresses we provide are about 5 cm thick foam mattresses for a comfortable sleep.

Yes, sleeping bags and pillows are included in the price. We help you color-mark your pillow and sleeping bag for you during the tour.

Yes, this is an option, but we are limited to single tents. It is not possible to get single tents for all participants due to limited storage space. For the use of a tent as single tent there is an extra charge. We allocate single tents to those who request them first.

There is either the possibility to use ground tents or rooftop tents that are attached to the roof of the car. Your tent is pitched and dismantled by yourself.

We are happy to help settle the dispute. If you still don’t want to sleep together in one tent there is the option to swap tents with other tent neighbors or to spend the night under the wonderful starry sky of Africa.

You can either share a tent with your bestie from the coliving gang or we assign a coliving mate to you with whom you will share a tent. We will only mix gender if it is approved by both sides.

No specific vaccinations are mandatory for entering Namibia, but consulting your doctor is recommended.

Malaria is only present in the northern region. Windhoek and our weekend getaway locations are situated in malaria-free zones. If you do decide to travel further, you can easily get Malaria tablets in Windhoek during your stay.

For solo travelers seeking a shared experience, book right away!

We’ll pair you with a roommate in a twin room based on a brief survey you’ll complete to help ensure compatibility. Rooms are arranged by gender, with female and male travelers assigned to separate accommodations.

Yes – because WildWifi gets booked up far in advance, we introduced a deposit system so you can secure your spot but not have to pay the full amount until later.

The deposit is 20% of your total stay, with the balance required 2 months prior to your first month. Please note, we have to be very strict with this and will automatically cancel your booking if this is not met in order to allow someone on the waitlist to join. For cancellations, please take a look at our full policy here.

People from most countries can get a 3-month tourist visa on arrival at the airport. A 6-month Digital Nomad Visa is also available for Namibia, and is one of the most simple in the world to get. Get more information from NIPDB.

Absolutely! Our coliving welcomes individuals seeking a temporary change of scenery or work environment. Whether you have a permanent residence or simply crave new experiences, you’ll find a warm and inclusive community here.

Many of our community work full-time in their home country but like to work from abroad for 2 or 3 months each year for all the benefits it allows. Speak with your company and comfort them in knowing you’re visiting somewhere that really prioritizes work and personal growth.

The only requirement is that while you are here you are working and not on an extended holiday or backpacking trip! This is important for the culture and work productivity.

At the beginning of our coliving, a voluntary mastermind group is founded. This group meets once a week to exchange ideas on a specific topic. This topic is determined at the beginning of the coliving and based on the interests of the group. In order for this mastermind group to be active, it is led by a facilitator.

During skill-sharing nights, each participant will have the opportunity to explain their knowledge on a specific topic to the group within a small workshop. Topics examples include: SEO basics, LinkedIn marketing, photography basics, crypto currencies or simply experiences from running your own business. This participation is voluntary, but our experience shows that most people enjoy learning something new from another.
