Namibia - Windhoek's Best

Man, those Suriname stations must've played the most eclectic mix we've heard so far, huh? We heard songs in sooooo many different languages! So far, only the Estonian station could even come close to it. That Radio Zon Solar FM one played pretty much only happy music, which was nice!

Ok, let's head over to the plateau continent and visit Namibia! The only country in the world which is less densely populated is Mongolia. Even though Namibia is ravaged by AIDS, has only about 600 doctors for over 2 million people, has over 50% total unemployment rate, they still has a pretty successful government that's helped their nation blossom since their independence just two decades ago. It's also one of only a handful of countries that has specifically addressed conservation in their constitution. We think that's pretty cool. 

Needless to say, eco-tourism has become one of the fastest-growing sectors of their economy. Feel like planning a trip to Africa? Try one of these eco-friendly vacation options

Mabaruli African Safaris

Skeleton Coast Safaris

You know what's super wild? They host a 24-hour ultra-marathon (almost 80 miles) through one of the oldest deserts on Earth! You have to carry your own water, food, maps, etc, too! Fuuuuuuuuuck that... 

Omulunga Radio is based out of the capital city of Windhoek in the middle of the country. Their name comes from the Oshiwambo word for a Makalani or an indigenous palm tree from the north of the country. Looks like a regular old palm tree to us...

This station totally has us doing the bouncy butt dance at our desks! Hurry up and tune in!
