Windhoek - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the air quality like at post (good/moderate/bad)? Are there seasonal air quality issues? Does the air quality have an impact on health?
Air is dry and can be dusty. There is an annual fire season that causes a lot of smoke in the city. Generally the air quality is fine. - Jul 2024
Amazing, and starry, starry skies at night. - Jan 2021
Good but dry. Many families get humidifiers upon arrival. Our children had nose bleeds on and off for a few weeks but, after the adjustment period, they were fine. - Jan 2016
Good. - Jun 2015
Namibia is one of the darkest places on the planet. You will never see stars like you do here---they're absolutely incredible. Bring a telescope or head out to a few of the lodges near Windhoek that have their own giant telescopes set up to really enjoy the view. - May 2013
Fabulous! Windhoek is considered high altitude so air is a bit thinner. - Jan 2013
Great. No pollution except for some field fires in the winter. No humidity in the winter and this is tough on some folks (dry skin, upper respiratory illness, etc.). - Jul 2012
