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 “undetermined” 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.

Here is some good news for our Avis Dam visitors: starting this coming Saturday, 10 October, a coffee van will be stationed at the main parking area near the dam wall on Saturdays.
Why not make your Saturday morning walk a little more special? Come and relax after your walk, take in the beautiful early-morning view over the dam, and enjoy a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
There will also be delicious scones and cakes, as well as cold drinks available for purchase.

Your coffee will be served to you on alternate Saturdays by the Urban Tribes Coffee Co. and by Coffee Wild from IJG Trails. Please support them.

We hope this will become a lovely new Saturday-morning tradition at Avis Dam — we look forward to seeing you there!
