Greenspace Namibia

Greenspace Namibia The Avis Dam basin, on the Eastern side of Windhoek is managed by Greenspace. Greenspace is a voluntary non-profit NGO.

Our main objective - to support the development and maintenance of urban open spaces for Windhoek residents. Greenspace leases the Avis Dam and surrounds (almost 300 hectares) from the City of Windhoek. It manages the natural environment and human activities at the dam in accordance with a Management Plan that is approved by the CoW and Greenspace members. The leased area is currently zoned “undet

ermined” in the town planning scheme, which means that it can be used by the Municipality for any purpose it deems fit. The area’s strategic location near the city, together with its natural beauty, have made it a frequent target for commercial development. It is one of Greenspace’s current objectives to have the Avis Dam rezoned as a nature reserve before our lease agreement expires in 2030.

Dear Greenspace members and Avis Dam visitors,

LOST DOG: Please help us find this little lost dog at the Avis Dam (see photo), last seen near the water reservoir in Ludwigsdorf on Sunday evening. If you have any information, please phone Jantje immediately at 0811433311.
BABOONS: It can happen that while walking at the dam you are confronted by a group of baboons who may try to threaten you with their loud warning calls. This can be rather frightening, and we advise you to quickly move away from them with your dogs. Do not try to wave a stick or throw stones at them as it can make them more aggressive. Baboons have been living at the dam for thousands of years; it is their home, so please respect their space.


With kind regards,
Vera Freyer
