Your Windhoek accommodations
AVANI HOTEL & CASINO
One of the city’s snazziest landmarks is Windhoek’s place to be, surrounded by shops, across the road from a craft market, and only a few hundred metres from the city’s main monuments and attractions.
Here, you’ll enjoy some of the best views in the city, especially from the rooftop bar, and all hours of fun at the high-rolling casino. For quieter times, float in the rooftop pool or head out to the bushveld in search of big cats at the nearby Naankuse wildlife reserve. There’s something for everyone at Avani.





Your Swakopmund accommodations
GONDWANA DELIGHT
During your journey along Namibia’s stunning coastline, you’ll enjoy a stay at Gondwana’s Delight, a stylish and welcoming hotel perfectly situated in the heart of Swakopmund. Just a short stroll from the beach, oceanfront promenades, and vibrant town center, this modern retreat offers the best of both worlds—easy access to Swakopmund’s top attractions while providing a comfortable and relaxing place to unwind.
Gondwana’s Delight places you within walking distance of popular cafés, shops, and adventure activities—from scenic boat tours to thrilling dune excursions. After a day of exploration, return to a refreshing and comfortable space where you can recharge for the next leg of your journey.

What if I have a special diet?
In your registration form, let us know about all your dietary restrictions and preferences. We will accommodate all diets. We will also have restaurants nearby where you can choose to order a separate meal should you dislike anything offered or need additional snacks.
Is this conference only for Americans?
No. We are American citizens of the African diaspora and know that experience best, but our conference is suitable for investors from anywhere in the world and all backgrounds are invited to attend.
What if I'm not in the African Diaspora?
Investors from all backgrounds are invited to attend. Our event will specifically address some of the experiences of the African Diaspora -those who have ancestral roots in Africa but have lived abroad in other countries and want to reconnect or connect for the first time. We will address that group in our conversations, but the information provided will be valuable for anyone interested in joining in.
What if I want to stay longer?
All guests are welcome to stay longer to enjoy Namibia. We can refer you to many great tourist opportunities to get to know the country even better. We recommend planning a two-week trip to really get to see more and meet more contacts.
Is there a virtual option?
We make our events very interactive, making it challenging to facilitate a good experience on Zoom. If your goal is to get the information and some tailored connections, our team is available for consultative services to help you build a strategy for your own personal situation. Whether you're interested in investing or are called to relocate to Namibia and need a place to start, we can assist. Email team@shofarbc.com for service options.
What if I just want to move to Namibia and not invest?
Namibia has several visa options; for most individuals not of retirement age, a business-related visa is required. Getting an employment visa typically requires some investment in the form of real estate and a business investment such as forming a new business or investing in a Namibian business.
The NIPDB has a resource guide to learn more about starting a business, understand the economy, and seek details on visa requirements.
Can I bring children?
This event is for adults only, and we will not be providing childcare. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us at team@shofarbc.com if you have a more nuanced question about this such as a teenager well equipped to sit through the conference and stay close to their parent.
Can I start investing with a small amount?
We will provide connections to opportunities as low as $5,000 USD. The more you invest, the larger the opportunity and the higher the returns. Some investments will be group opportunities where several investors can join together to make a larger opportunity possible, such as purchasing a plant for manufacturing goods where a clear market need is available.
What are the legal fees for investing?
We suggest always using a lawyer for business formation and contracts. This usually costs around $800 USD, including filing paperwork at BIPA, drafting the membership agreement, and administrating the first members' meeting.
The cost of legal management can increase depending on your needs, the type of business you have, and any additional contracts required to manage the business agreement.

“Who are these who fly like a cloud, And like doves to their roosts? Surely the coast lands shall wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish will come first, To bring your sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with them, To the name of the Lord your God, And to the Holy One of Israel, Because He has glorified you.
