Namibia’s capital, Windhoek, is a cosmopolitan city with an abundance of restaurants, shops, entertainment venues and accommodation. Windhoek is clean, safe and well-organised. The city centre is an interesting architectural mix of historical and modern buildings. The colonial legacy is still alive in its many German eateries and shops and the fairly widespread use of the German language.
City centre sights within easy walking distance: the Alte Feste (Old Fortress) museum; Christuskirche (Christ Church), consecrated in 1910; Tintenpalast (built in 1912/1913 as the seat of the colonial government and nicknamed Ink Palace), which is part of the parliamentary complex; the massive Independence Memorial Museum and the imposing contemporary building of the Supreme Court.
The international airport is 40 km east of Windhoek.
This private game reserve is located on the southern border of Etosha National Park, in the vicinity of the Andersson Gate park entrance. Ongava offers a variety of luxury lodges in the midst of a picturesque landscape. The wildlife is as abundant and diverse as in Etosha.
Activities: Game drives; rhino-tracking on foot; guided nature walks; admiring the sunset over this magnificent piece of Africa.
