Internships in Namibia
Located on the southwestern corner of the African continent, Namibia is both one of the world’s largest and most sparsely populated countries. Encompassing a large portion of the Namib Desert, there are only about 2 million citizens who live in Namibia, yet it still manages to maintain a significant regional presence because of its close historical ties to South Africa. Taking the journey to intern abroad in Namibia will enable you to gain valuable global work experience in one of Africa’s too-often overlooked countries.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in Namibia
Locations
Namibia is located just north of South Africa, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west and Angola and Botswana to the north and east, respectively. Namibia encompasses a wide diversity of ethnic and cultural groups, and has seen its national borders fluctuate significantly throughout the past two centuries as it has gradually thrown off the shackles of colonization and apartheid. Most recently Namibia gained its independence from South Africa in 1990.
As the nation’s capital and most populous city, Windhoek is generally the most popular destination where to intern abroad in Namibia. Sitting in the heart of the country in a basin valley, Windhoek is indisputably the economic, political, and cultural capital of Namibia. Nearly every major company and organization with a presence in Namibia is anchored in Windhoek, and there are a ton of exciting cultural opportunities to take advantage of there.
It is also possible to intern abroad in Namibia in more remote destinations such as the smaller city of Gobabis or other rural areas where much of the country’s population continues to reside. Your experience will be quite different depending on whether you live in an urban or rural area, so take this carefully into account while researching potential locations where you might undertake your internship abroad in Namibia.
