Naturally Namibia - Active Erongo & Southern Kaokofeld

Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, lies in the heart of the country amid the rolling Khomas Highlands, where wide skies and dry savannah frame a compact, orderly city. It blends German colonial heritage with contemporary African identity, creating a calm, understated atmosphere rather than a bustling metropolis. Landmarks such as Christuskirche and the Tintenpalast sit alongside modern civic buildings, while lively markets and cafés reveal everyday Namibian life. Visitors can explore museums, stroll shaded streets, or use the city as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness and safari regions. The air is often dry and clear, carrying the scent of dust and jacaranda blossoms, while distant hills glow at sunset. Windhoek offers a gentle introduction to Namibia’s landscapes and culture, with space, light and quiet defining its appeal.

Midway between the spectacular Etosha National Park and the capital city of Windhoek, lies the well-known Okonjima Nature Reserve. The 22 000 hectare nature reserve is home to AfriCAT, a carnivore sanctuary, which gives the captive cats a second chance to be released back into the wild and become completely independent hunters in a protected area right in the middle of commercial cattle farmland. Visitors can enjoy a stay at a variety of excellent accommodation options including everything from luxury villas to secluded camping. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy thrilling cat-tracking guided safaris, leopard-spotting, off-road night drives and learn about local San culture along the Bushmen trail.
