How Our Removals to Namibia from the UK Work
White & Company offers flexible shipping solutions designed around your timeframe, shipment size, and budget:
Part Load Removals to Namibia (Shared Container)
Perfect for smaller consignments, part-load shipping allows you to share container space with other customers. This helps keep costs down, as you only pay for the space your belongings occupy. Transit times can be slightly longer due to the consolidation process.
Full Load Removals to Namibia (Exclusive Container)
If you’re relocating a full household, a full-load container offers faster transit times and greater flexibility. Your belongings travel exclusively in one container, making this an ideal option for families or larger moves.
Once professionally packed, your items are transported to our UK export facility, securely loaded, and shipped to the nearest Namibian port before final delivery to your new home.
Let White & Company take care of the logistics, so you can begin your Namibian chapter with ease and confidence.

Insurance for Removals to Namibia
Even with meticulous planning and expert handling, international transit can be unpredictable, particularly over long distances. That’s why White & Company strongly recommends protecting your belongings.
Our crews take every precaution to secure your items, but to give you complete peace of mind, we offer MoveProtect. A contractual liability solution that allows you to declare a Maximum Replacement Value for your goods. This determines our liability for loss or damage while your belongings are in our care.
Claims under MoveProtect are handled by specialist adjusters (RCS) and do not affect your personal insurance no-claims discounts.
Preparing for Your Move to Namibia
Namibia is known for its vast open spaces, political stability, and exceptional natural beauty. Many British expats are drawn to its relaxed lifestyle, warm climate, and strong sense of community, particularly in cities such as Windhoek and Swakopmund.
While English is an official language, adapting to local customs and infrastructure can take time. Import regulations, healthcare access, and housing availability should all be researched carefully before relocating.
At White & Company, our role is to remove the logistical stress so you can focus on settling into life in Namibia with confidence.
