Local shopping tips

If you’re in Windhoek, try wandering over to the section of Independence Avenue near the Alte Feste. Some shops there offer spontaneous deals that aren’t advertised online or on signs. Also, keep an eye out for smaller weekday markets in Katutura, where local artisans sometimes sell directly at lower prices. Don’t be shy about asking when they plan to restock or offer discounts. A little politeness and curiosity can go a long way in landing genuine savings on Namibian crafts or clothing.
