[@kimnyamu7201]

AfroAmericaninAfrica are you still in Africa? And how is Namibia and life? Am happy you are back at home. Feel free

[@sanysunery5513]

Hi thanks

[@Gilgitbaltistangemsandvalleys]

Hi

[@jhowell3949]

Thank you so much for this valuable information!

[@captainmako9847]

you're on point... keep up great work

[@GeorgiaIsOnMyMind]

I'm Pakistani, was raised in Africa and now reside in the U.S. Growing up in Africa (Zambia), I on occasion did meet African Americans (who were there temporarily for work related reasons). Therefore was delighted to find your channel not only because I was raised in Africa, but because I've known others who've undergone your experience. This world is a beautiful place.

[@frankiesalif1907]

I love whn African Americans go back to Africa and appreciates it while also exploring our continent.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Definitely!

[@MarieSueMax]

Frankie Salif i want to go to a place with natural beauty not ugly dirty rape nation america . i hope i dont die in this cesspool

[@Knowledge.Wisdom.Understanding]

Frankie Salif what countries would you recommend? I want to visit Mali and Ethiopia.

[@RoyaleWitCheese04]

so they keep the cost of owning property high and the cost of renting low in order to keep you from owning your own property an keeping the rich, rich

[@nickreyes3604]

Jonathan Metts yup! The German descendants that live there own like 44% of the country. They live in nice houses with pools n what not well the Namibians live in poverty shit makes me sick!

[@lifeofnisab9482]

Exactly

[@gl7011]

Nick Reyes That's what I suspected. I don't see any kind of economic driver that justifies the high prices. Typically real estate prices are tied to some sort of booming economic activity. Everyone wants to be in a certain area to be near their jobs or the hot spot of town so to speak. But this situation seems predatory and defies logic.

[@ubuntumike5794]

eric hughes I don't think anyone who isn't African should own a land in Africa Germans should not own land there that's what they call great investment they took the land through colonization or bought it when it was very cheap because they had the means back then while African were enslaved now are making the price high. Every land own by non African should be investigated if acquired through colonization get them back

[@gagafifty5068]

@Mike Raymond i agree with you 💯. I don’t even live there and it pisses me off when i read these comments about non Africans have many businesses in Africa. African Americans are really rising now but I’m not sure if it’s enough to have a lucrative business in Africa. We’ve been oppressed for so long.

[@TheBlackPumps]

Keep in mind that the prices at the beginning of the video are property sale prices, not rental prices.

[@AssanRaelian]

Last year I visited Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire & Ghana. The feeling was like 'I'm home'. This is why I'll be expat ting to Africa. Everyone has their particular preferences and Africa is mine. I'm coming home to stay 😃

[@LandOfTheBrave]

Kelvin Green ok

[@1mm-onemillionmillionaires414]

GOOD 4 YOU....life is not about what material stuff you got, but waking up in the morning and not thinking up what hater you may encounter and how inferior human being you are....please go where you are respected as a human being regardless of the difficulties you may face..

[@rillyjo5810]

Which country did u enjoy best

[@kitt7531]

Okay. Take me with you

[@leonhenry4861]

Have you moved to Africa yet?

[@kopend8638]

That's crazy price's for Africa, I can't imagine many locals can't afford to live

[@kevinamy4476]

KEEP The prices high to keep it white. Oldest trick in the book and it works.

[@grevberg]

I'm glad I decided to move to Botswana I rent a 3 bedroom house with a wall around it in a quiet area for U$ 75/week gas electricity is not expensive the internet is also unlimited and not expensive but not fast. People here speak very good English and are super friendly and helpful. The problem here are getting permits to stay here if you're retired not so difficult but work permits very difficult.

[@AssanRaelian]

Very informative video. I'll be relocating to Cotê d'ivoire in 2017. I'm very excited about the move and I encourage African American's to give serious consideration, of relocating to Africa.

[@AssanRaelian]

To reconnect with a disconnection that has purposely been committed against my people and I. When I went to Africa last year; it was like finding my natural home. For me it felt so good; i knew early on that i would return to stay. I've moved from an Eurocentric to an Afrocentric state of being and i love it. I'm glad that you'll visit Africa; it's most important that you do.

[@macky765]

Kelvin Green good luck , I'm black and don't feel the need to connect back to the continent on a personal level but good luck

[@AssanRaelian]

macky765 Thank you +macky765. I'm happy that my plans are moving forward and some of my love ones are sharing interest.

[@pinkdreamer04]

Did you make the trip yet? Can you upload a video please?

[@skhumbandlovu8735]

U must try south Africa. U will love it here. Only criminals go to jail here.

[@ayrtoniris]

good to see your channel, you know my family is from DR Congo and i was born in belgium. I live here but i'm going back to congo as soon as i finish my studies here, anyway i got a part of my cousins uncles and all, i've also been there many times so it's better at there, i thank you so much to show us your experience. Glad to see a sista from the USA going to the mother land

[@ballyvilletv3678]

I like what you doing.you coming from the states and knowing that houses are expensive here tells me a lot.

[@omesonyabs5244]

I’ve read these comments and there’s a general misconception about how Africans live. Those homes are urban properties but Africans tend to have rural properties and land. So they may live in the cities for work but have a place in the country with their tribe/ family. They tend to spend holidays there.

[@Travelingmel]

This was absolutely fascinating. Thanks for sharing your little slice of life in Namibia. This sort of simple info goes a long way to providing insight to a place. Keep up the great vids!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@alij9333]

Why is this video even having a dislike ? Great job girl the video was smooth as silk.

[@eberhard1991]

Yes house are expensive only in the city. In towns house aren't that expensive. I'm a teacher here in Namibia my salary is US$1.150 p/m in Namibia dollar it's $15k and i can afford 3 bed room house and a car.

[@19GENESE13]

Thank you for breaking that down.

[@fuadmohamed7659]

thnaks for you comment, as you told us you are a teacher and i respect the teachers where ever they are in the would. second yap very expensive but me i though to come in Namibia bt when i watch this video i decided quickly and Automatically to stay in my country.

[@DJCole34]

How does the driving license work in Africa? Is my American license needed to obtain a license to drive in Africa? Or is that more of a western thing?

[@sylviakerubo4613]

Don Xuan Where in Africa? There's 55 independent countries in Africa.

[@miguelcapers9232]

Thank you so much for your videos! You have done a wonderful job of debunking the common stereotypes of Namibia and Africa as a whole. Thus, inspiring me to make the Journey to Africa and eventually calling her my home! So thanks once again!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

+Miguel Capers Thanks so much, appreciate the support!

[@romanonauseb8116]

I'm from Namibian and this is so accurate. I wonder how my grand kids will cope with this prices of today. worst of all this video was in 2015..

[@jnyerere]

It's not like that in all African countries. About 4 years ago, my late mother bought some land in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and built a small apartment building on it (about 6 units) for a total of $350,000 USD. Mind you this included the purchase of the land and the labor that was required to build the property. And it was in an upper middle class area of Dar. You just have to be smart enough to pick a country where you know you will get your money's worth. Wherever there are significant numbers of Europeans/people of European descent, you can expect the real estate prices to be ridiculous, and that's just the reality. In other words, don't pick a country like South Africa, Botswana, or Namibia. You will regret it.

[@DoctorRainhead]

+CzarJuliusIII You're smart at least. A lot of blacks don't take your advice. They move right on into white areas anyhow.

[@redhawkin3426]

+DoctorRainhead they feel more safer around white people smh

[@rosejoacks6713]

That's a good deal. Have you been to Dar es Salaam ?

[@jnyerere]

Rose Joacks Yea, I was born there but raised outside of Washington DC. in Maryland. But I go back to Dar almost every year. Generally I never go more than 2 yrs without visiting.

[@rosejoacks6713]

CzarJuliusIII Good for you ! I bet you do speak Swahili then.

[@ccgk1325]

Lived in Namibia for 10years, very beautiful country, beautiful beach in Swakopmund, capital city windhoek is beautiful...Foreigners own more properties than Namibians themselves, although Namibian population is only 2.5million people, there is high income distribution inequality.. but for a foreigner it is a great place to invest, the economy is stable, no wars,financial institutions have quite advanced systems, Free education for primary and secondary school kids...etc...

[@mikebrown6759]

I am moving to Africa eventually.

[@pablotzuarbenisrael9916]

an earthship living off the grid on a land by the ocean or river would be good.

[@dahbajanman7044]

Hold on, Namibia has a better exchange rate that many countries in the Caribbean.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

+Dah Bajanman Really? I have to check! I only know the Barbadian dollar since one side of my family is from there and they are 2:1 to the USD.

[@dahbajanman7044]

AfroAmericaninAfrica I can tell you Jamaica is about 123:1 US dollar. Just google currency converter.

[@binbinky78]

love Namibia and the people! Windhoek is such a nice city...great informative video!

[@jerometruitt1452]

Those high prices are still very low by American standards. Can't wait till I have the money to move to Africa.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

This is true. Affordable for us but not for the actual citizens of the country, which is problematic.

[@afternoondelight6741]

This is a great idea, I like how u compare U.S prices of real estate to housing properties in Namibia...This is real insight for many of us, I wish someone would do this for Nigeria...Not necessarily Banana Island, but a very decent 3 or 4 bedroom apartment or house...

[@kingwillie206]

The median price for a house where I live is over 500K USD. Maybe it's time to retire in Namibia....

[@abdullahiadam3268]

Bruh come to malawi you will get the best house in town for $50k seriously

[@ubuntumike5794]

King Willie that's just as much as the us without the job

[@nikkiep23]

you're back! Awesome. it's been a while

[@Camb250]

You lived in a nice place! Very clean and orderly. It's a shame most hard working people there can't buy a home.

[@acajudi100]

I am 75, so not wanting to buy a home, and when I downsize from my apartment, it will be to a studio. I am staying in America, where prices are too high for rent and utilities etc. , but the food I like is here. Enjoy my play daughter.💕❤️

[@osamaalafghanee8868]

Just a fun fact: every town in Windhoek starts with an 'O',and Windhoek literally means 'wind corner '.

[@kaverirozoseua3459]

Osama Morgan, every town in Namibia? & no, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Tsumeb, Arandis & many more do not start with Os.

[@mellowsmooth753why]

my problem is the Caucasoid owning what we raised farmed and cultivated, they are looking for another cash grab as it was in history

[@jazzyrain6215]

Awesome and informative video. Thank you so much for posting this. I look forward to go back home soon.

[@joantonio6331]

While expensive for a local, any one who remotely work for a western company (European, Canadian or American) will live like a king because compared to those places, Namibia is dirt cheap... And more and more people are working remotely or are online entrepreneur

[@jasmainjasmain2906]

Wow, I am blown away at those prices!

[@Agboka]

+Jasmain Coleman Please don't. There's a way out. Land is cheap in many other African nations and you can build a house yourself at a fraction of those astronomical prices white capitalists are throwing at our ppl. Most AAs built their own houses in Nigeria and Ghana. So others can do the same too in any part of Africa, so do not be disturbed but rather be empowered to see the devil as who he really is and know that he is a minority that can be taken down easily if we do our maths right.

[@jasmainjasmain2906]

What you're saying is true and I'm fully aware who is doing what. If I do move to Africa it would be Guinea, in my husband's country. White people are everywhere, lol. I just hate to see countries being taken advantage of just for development purposes, or out of fear because the lacking weaponry to protect themselves.

[@baldwinvillager1086]

I have the same question as another subscriber. Who exactly is buying up all the land?

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

+Baldwin Villager The farmland is most privately owned by Whites and foreigners, especially Germans; and in the towns land is generally owned by the government and private citizens.

[@expos4everac]

Jews!!!! who else

[@carl1095]

Namibia was under South African rule up until 1990. Which means the area of Namibia also fell under Apartheid. Before that they were under German colonial rule. So the white people living there still own and benefit from the land and wealth they stole during that period. So when you see massive social inequality like this you must know somewhere white oppression was involved. Hiking up prices to keep out the poor who are mostly black is the modern way in which whites are implementing a new form of Apartheid/Segregation.

[@starlo3]

...Government and private citizens huh?

[@caamirzaki2652]

AfroAmericaninAfrica I feel really really sorry for your country if they owned all the farmland so what is left? My gosh God help you guys

[@Mercito]

for example in mozambique the same properties will cost 500 thousands dollars, so to tell you don't go to Africa thinking you are going to pay less money.Angola is one of the most expensive countries in the planet

[@mrmickleham8698]

Not Angola but more Luanda......

[@kaymilan3928]

The prices are ridiculously high. It's as expensive as living in South Africa.

[@jdibi8423]

I noticed that the real estate agents were all Caucasians. I'm sure that has a lot to do with the outrageous rates & of course the president is benefiting. My fiance is from Zimbabwe & we'll be moving there soon, we are planning on opening up a business. I only want money circulating through black hands though, real estate would be a good idea. My goal is to make a change in the country

[@jdibi8423]

kingmatt2563 what has Mugabe done?

[@bobbyfatitv1787]

As an African you make me feel so proud sister,I think AfricanAmericans should come back home to work their African brothers and sisters.

[@kingmatt2563DABEST]

Jasmaine Holmes Massacre loads of people and caused famines through farm redistribution programs. Also he fucked up the education system aswell. Rhodesia had a better standard of living. Rhodesia!

[@DoctorRainhead]

+little flaver Earl Believe me I am all for it. More have to go as soon as possible or the danger level will get bad for them in the USA.. I know this.

[@jaimeeclair8999]

+kingmatt2563 Mugabe simply gave the white-seized lands to their original African/black owners. Unfortunately, the land reclaiming programe isn't quick or far-reaching enough in my opinion. Rhodesia had a better standard of living for whites because the whites had blacks as their slaves/housemaids/laborers.

[@sungodjrspot]

I think this is happening because of the close proximity to SouthAfrica and the cracks are doing what they do here over there as well.

[@iviko9924]

i dont get why people think these houses are so expensive. i was born and raised in Georgia (labelled as one of the lowest living/housing costs in the world). an average house here costs about 100.000 - 150.000 GEL which is 470.000 - 700.000 NAD.

[@LiaLocs]

Love your channel... Congrats on your wedding and the little boy...

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

+LiaLocs Thank you!

[@aleksandar77]

thanks for this video... to can compare about life cost.. i hope you will post more videos

[@Mindfeels]

Thank you very much for such detailed info, I have not seen this type of info on youtube. Honors!

[@blaknificent09]

Thank you for the information. What about telecommunications ie: wifi, cable, satellite internet services?

[@DJTocaLa]

It is all available. It perhaps may not be the fasted like in the US probably but we have it all. A service call TN Mobile is a good choice for fast internet.

[@22knowa]

it's cheaper here in Florida

[@aponce16]

Excellent video. It reminds me of Puerto Rico a littler bit. Anyhow, I hate spiders too. Over here in Oregon, once a year, I have to go around my house with a flamethrower thingy a have, and go around the perimeter of my house and burn away all the spiders and spider nests. That usually last for about a year or two. You have to be careful, of course, not to burn down the fence or your house while doing this extermination. Thanks for the information. When I was in Africa, back in the day. I used to hang around Lake Victoria. I never visited the south countries. So, your videos are fascinating. Thanks for making them.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Yes, spiders are the worst LOL! Lake Victoria must've been amazing. Thanks for watching.

[@InfiniteYasin]

dude i am soo hyped. i can't wait to visit Namibia

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

You should def make a visit!

[@dlandis8146]

Will be visiting Namibia in June . I'm an American in Kuwait and hear that Namibia is a great country

[@robertcrawford6727]

hey! yeah, namibia housing is *expensive* ... i thought cape town was off the chain [for southern africa] and then i went to windhoek, and i was like, "um, no." i wasn't expecting katutura to be so expensive tho. down here the houses in the locations [when there are some on sale] are cheaper, but still work out pricey for most people living around them. and near the angolan border ...are people coming from over the border to buy? because there is like no money up there ... so i'm guessing it's angolans and chinese who are renting/buying and then going over the border to work every day?

[@Josiasmartboy]

I think our housing costs really needs to be reduced. i'm a Namibian studying in Brazil (South America) but comparing the amount of money that i pay for my apartment every month there's a big difference...

[@wsgsantos]

In fact the cost of housing is very high, here in Brazil we still find places where the price is better. It is said that in Namibia the people have to deal with this.

[@skylanfreire3552]

did you learn portuguese?

[@Josiasmartboy]

Yes I did.

[@gabrieladava9900]

+Josia Brown Interesting to hear that you are living in Brazil. How is life there? Because I am Mozambican and in recent years there has been a crazy influx of Brazilians in Mozambique, who are driving prices up. Is the cost of living much lower there?

[@gabrieladava9900]

I am aware, I have been to Brazil years ago, and also Brazil was a portuguese colony, who were slave traders and stop for slave commerce.

[@liz6669R]

I little off topic but I find it's interesting that they use the american owned company re max real estate there.

[@wisepersonsay3142]

Still a lot cheaper than another Southern Continent, Australia. Space and selections are great in Namibia. What about reporting on safety?

[@DaveWard-xc7vd]

Seems strange that all the ads are in English.....

[@worshipl7]

Why is everything that has to do with people of color so unfair? Even in the motherland prices like this? My people,​ we have to find a way to develop something exclusive to us and come out of such unfairness!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

The sad truth!

[@waynepayne9875]

Its not white people bruh. Africans need to take responsibility and run their countries with their people in mind unlike the current presidents over there who get elected then immediately try to get rich.

[@thelindseyvoigt]

Guys I'm watching this in 2019 and I am from Windhoek. Prices have skyrocketed so much that they are double that on this vid

[@SoffyLoves]

Really interesting. I was expecting the prices to be high in the cities because that's how it is in every country, but this seemed REALLY high.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

+soffy2002 Yes, it really is.

[@SoffyLoves]

+AfroAmericaninAfrica Who would you say owns most of these lands? Foreign entities, local organisations, the govt etc?

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

+soffy2002 Farmland - most privately owned by Whites and foreigners, especially Germans; in the towns land is generally owned by the government and private citizens.

[@SoffyLoves]

AfroAmericaninAfrica Ah. I see. Thanks for the info.

[@ndolisabi4070]

+soffy2002 white settlers of south african apartheid) who, until recently(1990) occupied the country

[@KevinP32270]

so i am guessing there is a high demand for these properties and that is why it's so high in price?

[@cilginkosucu]

You only showed apartments/condos. Many of us would never live in one with our families; what are those prices like?

[@berryrobinsonExpat4Cultures]

I might have to check those rental out very cheap compared with in the US

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Once you convert the exchange rate, yes, it is significantly cheaper!

[@mlssrsevenseven8160]

Yes, she is beautiful. Yes, sister we were watching.....you! Never plan to move there but great info, will pass on!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thank you!

[@shayrenae3829]

im so confused there paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a month for an apartment? how are they even getting that kind of money?

[@Queenceba29]

+Shay Renae Yeah, if you listen closely as she converts in the US dollars you'll hear that most of the apartments are a few hundred dollars a month. Like $400+.

[@shayrenae3829]

Ohhh okay thanks!

[@TheBlackPumps]

Also, at the beginning, the houses she lists display the sale price, not rental price.

[@thebigswermdiggs3383]

It's in the country's currency not US dollars which is stronger

[@youngwize3013]

I want to move to Africa

what are the pluses? what do you get there? dry and dirt no greens..

[@charneybrendell3168]

You really are beautiful!!.... I'm from London and would love to visit Namibia, Would you invite me over as i don't know anyone over there?? Only know people in Nigeria

[@JusNoirCreativeVisuals]

Compared to California house prices this is a STEAL! I'm only 31 but I'm planning an early retirement if all business ventures pan out right. By my late 40s early 50s im trying to officially retire. Need to put Namibia on my retirment list lol!

[@announcingthroughsoupcans]

Prices seem quite reasonable in USD. A US citizen of modest financial status could live well there. Looks like a nice, clean place.

[@deathtotruthers1]

This is a fascinating video. Thank you!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks for watching!

[@fascot70]

Very nice keep up the good work.. i live in the northern part of Namibia n have relatives that lives in the city of windhoek paying 11 000 apartment with the same quality where i live but i paid it for about 4500 a month.. so u pretty much right what u saying... 🖒👏👏

[@First2bmob24]

I love your videos. And you are beautiful. Thanks for the uploads!

[@undergroundrailroad4946]

what dictates that living cost and who control it? Also do the quality of living increase annually with the cost?

[@djinnho2901]

AfroAmericaninAfrica, you should include also data such as the incomes for regular jobs there. Just saying that an apartment cost around US$350 per month will sound good for someone working in the US who doesn't know that the incomes over there are way too low. Many people over there work for less than US$100 per month.

[@Y2kplaya92]

That is an insanely expensive house!

[@2tonesg]

I don't know why I got this in my recommended feed but this was an interesting watch.

[@edwardtaub1988]

You didn't explain why housing prices are so high. Is the economy booming in Namibia?

[@DRUNKENSYLEMASTER619]

the land should be for the natives and way less price. i seen better deals on some islands then this.also the government can lease the better housing at these inflated prices to the foreigners.take that and money and reinvest.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Very true!

[@johnnyboy3217]

Love your video thank........

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

That’s interesting considering it’s one of the least populated countries in the world by area. But then .. makes everything harder to get. I pay $2900 per month US in California for a 2 bedroom duplex so ... i would love that pricing here. Heh

[@wistonlawsons4443]

u should go to Angola and make one on Angola. my grand parents lived for 20 years in nova lisboa

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

I would LOVE to visit Angola actually. It's on my list!

[@drewski1441]

This is not sustainable and Namibia will need to adjust real estate prices at some point. Here is why? I can assume salaries are like the US or Europe? if not how can the average Namibian afford those prices?

[@djdjdax2253]

great channel sis. much luv n respect

[@mangkweng]

hi, The situation out in Namibia seems just like South Africa, Im talking about bout rental and Buying prices. And also the overall conditions seems the same. Good job.

[@caracas787]

At least the market in Namibia & SA is easier than West Africa where rentals are paid at least a year in advance & all repairs are paid for by the tenant.

[@pwhales264]

It's cheaper for me to stay here in my own home, 3 bedroom, 2 bath on a acre of land about a $1,000 a yr for property and house taxes not including utilities.

[@kennethferland5579]

Looks a lot like Arizona, particularly the giant spider.

[@tlhalefangchelechele6303]

That's basically how much u pay for renting in south Africa , especially for student housings.

[@davefitzgerald419]

Are the nicer residences closer to the water? What's the going rate for a flat per. month?

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

There are some very nice homes on the beach in certain coastal cities like Swakopmund. The rates for flats vary based on the city/town/village. But check out google, you can find more details on rent across the country on the property websites I listed in this video's description website.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

in this video's description box*

[@davefitzgerald419]

AfroAmericaninAfrica Thank you for sharing! Wishing you all the best this New Year:-)

[@shanhickson1379]

Interesting. Didn’t know property was so expensive

[@gl7011]

So what's driving the steep price hikes? Typically it's supply and demand. What's driving the demand? I don't see any kind of booming economic activity driving the demand. It's seems arbitrary and almost a price gouging situation. Also who are the owners of these properties? Is it absentee landlords living abroad? Or local entrepreneurs?

[@marthakinz]

Where was this complex...? Looking at properties currently, but this doesn't look familiar at all. Thanks in advance.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hi! That complex (my old apartment) was in Eros, same street as Mediclinic. The name is Kunene Court.

[@omega4chimp]

You should build more houses and roads in nambia and solar energy.

[@jakobinagideon5808]

Hold up🙅. As an actual afrikan and Namibian. I do agree that our housing prices are ridiculously high, especially in windhoek, due to an increase in the demand for housing coz there's alot of rural- urban migration going on, having the fact that we do have a high unemployment rate and the city has more opportunities than any other town, however, mind you.. there are other areas that are much much cheaper to accumulate land and actually buy a house, such as the north and the coastal areas of my beautiful country. Hope this gives some of you some insight.. It's not all that expensive in all areas.. Jah bless,👸🤗

[@Kisharha]

Wow, that is really expensive. I rent my own single family home for 350 month, all included save electric and heat, and that's in the American Northeast.

Love your video! I would love the chance to live in another country, especially one as beautiful as Namibia. It is sad that people cannot afford housing in their own country. It is like that where I live in Florida, although I am sure it does not begin to compare. People with money come from out of state or other countries, buy up property and charge a fortune in rent. Thank you for sharing!

So much for grass huts with mud or thatched roofs. American media never show this. I wonder why.
