== Hitching out ==
=== East towards [[Botswana]], [[Gobabis]], [[ Windhoek Airport]] ===
Take a taxi from center (9 N$) or walk which will take you merely 30 minutes to Klein Windhoek. Get out at the Engen Petrol station. You got two possibilities here: Ask people either at Engen or Puma petrol stations or stand at the traffic lights just at that particular junction and approach the drivers while they are waiting. Especially getting to the Airport is very easy from that point.
=== North towards [[Swakopmund]], [[Okahandja]], [[Otjiwarongo]], [[Zambia]], [[Angola]] ===
The best spot is probably the ramp close to Katutura Hospital. Get a taxi for 9 N$ and tell the driver to stop at "Katutura Hospital / Highway to Okahandja" or if you're more into walking it`s a 5km walk. At the spot, do rather not join the other people waiting in the ramp itself as they are mostly looking for charged lifts. Try to stand at the traffic lights before turning right on the ramp and ask the drivers personally.
=== South towards [[Keetmanshoop]], [[South Africa]] ===
Basically there are NO buses at all and almost no minibuses. All there is are '''shared taxis''' which functions almost as a bus in the sense that they have semi-fixed routes which they follow. Although they do change their route to let people off at the door.
At the time of writing (Jan 2012March 2013) a standard fare with a taxi was 8 9 Namibian dollars and when you cross a border the price is going to double automatically. For example, a ride of Kutatura Katutura to the center (a good 12 kilometres) will cost you 8 9 dollars while a ride from e.g. Southern Industrial area to the center (more or less 2 kilometres) will cost you 16. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
