Tourism internship in Namibia

You live in an international volunteer house. Here the volunteers have double rooms (separated by gender) available. The bathrooms are shared with the roommates on the floor and the communal kitchens with all residents of the house. There is also a small balcony and another outdoor area with a barbecue.

Some of the residents come from Namibia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and many other countries - so here you have the unique opportunity to make many international contacts.

There are housekeeping staff to keep the bathrooms and floors clean. However, you are responsible for the cleanliness of your room and you also take care of tasks such as washing the dishes after breakfast. To wash your clothes, you can use the laundry service for N$80 (approx. 4,80 euros) per 3kg of laundry.

Food will be provided to you at the Volunteer House, which you can use to prepare your breakfast. These include oatmeal, porridge, toast and peanut butter, as well as coffee, tea and milk. You can easily buy more in the surrounding area. There is a gas station, shops, restaurants and bars where you can shop. It takes about five to ten minutes to get there by taxi. You can also use the taxi to drive to your location. Depending on your project, it will take you about 20 to 25 minutes to get there.

There are also plans for joint activities: every two weeks, the team and volunteers go out to eat together or meet up for a sundowner.

Owe Uya Po! - Welcome to Namibia!

Namibia is the northern neighboring country of South Africa and only very sparsely populated. For this reason, you have the chance to discover breathtaking natural landscapes and a fascinating world of flora and fauna. Our main location in Namibia is the state capital Windhoek. 

The lively and varied city is located in the middle of Namibia's interior. About 460.000 people live here. In Windhoek you will find neo-baroque buildings, modern skyscrapers, colorful markets, green parks and densely populated townships right next to each other. Outside, various deserts impress with their unique atmospheres. Of course, the multicultural city also has a lot to offer in culinary terms: from traditional African to Asian to Mediterranean and more.

Urban lifestyle, deserts and breathtaking sunsets - these are just some of the things that await you in Windhoek. So let's go!

Windhoek offers a variety of leisure activities for every taste. One of the most famous sights is the Christ Church, which was built in 1910 and is an example of German colonial architecture. You can also get an insight into the exciting history and culture of Namibia in the Namibia National Museum, for example, which has a fascinating collection of artefacts and exhibits. 

You can also spend your free time in the Daan Viljoen National Park, which is only a few kilometers from the city of Windhoek. There you can go hiking or camping, but also game viewing and even horseback riding is possible. 

The dunes of Sossusvlei, a salt-clay pan near Windhoek, are also perfect for outdoor activities. These dunes are among the highest in the world and offer breathtaking views of the Namib Desert. If you are a sports enthusiast, you can even try quad biking, sandboarding or camel riding there.  

Also, don't miss the local markets in Windhoek. The Katutura Township Market is known for its unique handicrafts and local specialties. This is also a great place to chat with locals and learn more about the country and how people live.
