Namibia is a big but very sparsely populated country in Southern Africa, it's actually the 2nd most sparsely populated country in the world, with only [[Mongolia]] having less inhabitants per square kilometer. Hitchhiking is pretty common simply because the public transport network is not very efficient and many places are accessible almost exclusively by thumb or your own vehicle. Having that said many hitchhiking here actually often includes paying for the ride, or to quote one local [[Keetmanshoop]] hitchhiker - ''pretty often people are nice and don't ask me to pay, but normally they want a little compensation '' . Being non-namibian might change the situation. So bear in mind that some drivers might expect money but a quick question such as "is this lift for free" clarifies things.
