No 1 MUST KNOW travel tip for Namibia: Using SA🇿🇦 Rand (ZAR)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2024
- The South African rand (ZAR) is legal tender in Namibia, along with the Namibian dollar (NAD). This means that you can use either currency to pay for goods and services in Namibia. The exchange rate between the two currencies is fixed at 1 NAD = 1 ZAR.
Some key points to know about using the South African rand in Namibia:
Acceptance: The South African rand is accepted at all businesses, hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions throughout Namibia. Many merchants and service providers set their prices in Namibian dollars, but they will accept South African rands.
Exchange Rate: The exchange rate between the Namibian dollar and the South African rand is fixed at 1:1. This means that 1 Namibian dollar is equal to 1 South African rand.
Withdrawal and Exchange: If you're visiting Namibia, you can easily exchange your South African rands for Namibian dollars at banks, foreign exchange bureaus, or even shops, hotels and service stations. ATMs are also widely available and will dispense Namibian dollars. However, keep in mind that some ATMs might charge foreign transaction fees, so it's a good idea to check with your bank before withdrawing money.
Currency Notes: Both Namibia and South Africa use similar currency notes. In Namibia, you will find Namibian dollar banknotes, which are similar in design and size to South African rand banknotes. This similarity can sometimes lead to confusion, so always double-check the currency you are using or receiving in change.
Credit Cards: Major credit cards are widely accepted in most urban areas of Namibia, but it's still a good idea to carry some cash, especially when traveling to more remote or rural regions where card payment facilities may be limited.

Thank you for informing our visitors. Namibia is all we have. And we all must serve to save her. Once again thank you very much. 🇳🇦
Hallo Nic. We are so happy that you are back! We really missed you!! We are so extremely proud of you that you did not allow your challenges to keep you down and quit your channel!!!!! We are always looking forward to your next video. Blessings
thank you, your message means a lot🙂
Vital Information Nick And That Is What We Need To Know Thank You For The Upload 😃😃😃
I've found one or two places north of Springbok that will take Nam$ when I'm traveling south and then they'll give them as change to people traveling north. Quite handy sometimes.
yip you'll find that..along the Whk-Cape Town route as well, but that would have made the video very confusing. Officially, it is not accepted in SA
I was in Namibia back in 2005 and I was so glad that I could pay in South African Rands and receive change in Namibian Dollar 😊
Very useful information Nick. Thank you
Thank you! 🙏 Good to know because I didn’t know. And it will save me 💰💰💰
Planning a trip and this was useful, thank you from Canada

Baie Dankie Nick!🤠🐗🇺🇸🇨🇱🥃
Cheers Nick,
You are a very good chap. We are just changing some pounds into Rand and US dollars for Zimbabwe. I still have the old Zimbabwean dollars from years ago. More than worthless now. No billion Dollar notes.
Looking forward to Friday and we shall be on our way 😊
Nice, you must be getting very excited
Hello nick, I'm a traveler always on the highway foot on the gas pedal l, but I'll always time to watch your channel because I really appreciate your efforts and the infos and since I'm a traveler your videos are nice and calming.
thanks
Nick, a question please. You posted a comment about buying a simcard and the long process of activating it. I mentioned this to a government person on her visit to London about 2 weeks ago and she said that this was no longer the case. Just go to the MTN desk at the airport and load sim and away you go. Any update would be great. Thanks. If you find yourself in Etosha from 2nd Nov gives us a shout, there for 6 days
Ive seen this as well, but cant confirm. emailed MTC without getting a proper response. Asked our local office here and they said the process is the process and according to them there are no special arrangements for tourists. Maybe just do more research and see...
Nice channel! Subscribing for more :) Hope to someday visit Namibia. :D
Thanks for the sub🙂
Dankie vir die goeie info
Watse grenspos is beste erfaring om te hop van Sa na Namibia?
Almal is baie maklik. Niks snaakse besigheid by enige van hulle nie.
Do you know new delhi, beijing, and tokyo.
One question if I may please: Petrol cheaper in SA or Nam? Going on a road trip soon, need to know if I fill up on this side of the border or over there. Oh, and anyway, are prices for groceries and general goods cheaper in Nam?
Petrol is a lot cheaper in Namibia, so arrive empty and fill up at the first town you get into Namibia...SA's groceries used to be a lot of cheaper, but these days its pretty much the same. Also easier to shop as you go, rather than over shopping in South Africa
@@NickfrNamibia Thank you much. Oooh, 3rd question: Internet on the road. How do we do it? Get sim card in Nam or does our SA sim work, and how are the roaming fees? We don't use the phone for calls, just as a hotspot. To upload videos from our laptops ... similar to you. Thx in advance. xoxo
i use local SIM cards, but the process is a bit complicated now in Namibia. You have to register it at a MTC branch
@@NickfrNamibia I guess it's like SA's RICA then. Dankie.
@@orcaflotta7867 yes it is. Requires you to go to the police station, get a declaration and then go amd register at MTac branch
And plus do you know walvis bay, swakopmund, Windhoek, and Cape Town?
and again huh?
Pl3as dozimbabwe money situation now 😢
You know harare, lusaka, maputo, and dodoma?
huh?
Hi Nic, thanks for your videos, as a first time traveler from South Africa to Botswana, what papers do I need to cross the border. ANDRE PIETERSE
except for your travel documents ie passports etc only your vehicle registration papers in case they ask
You also know lisbon, madrid, paris, and bangkok?
huh again?
Do you know countries?
@@user-zi2tl5iv4h why do I need to know countries, this is a video about my own country, Namibia...
