"When moving to Windhoek, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the climate. Windhoek has a semi-arid climate, so lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended. Additionally, it is important to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect from the sun. It is also a good idea to bring a first aid kit, insect repellent, and any necessary medications. Finally, it is important to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and proof of address," explained one expat living in Windhoek, Namibia.
