Good news for anyone planning a visit to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia: The city just got a new taxi hailing app that works in a similar way to Uber. 

The Lefa app can be used to order taxis safely and securely 24 hours a day, according to the Namibia Tourism Board. It works in all of the city's suburbs, as well as lodges and game farms surrounding Windhoek, the app's website says.
