Flights to Windhoek land at Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH). Getting from the airport to the city will take about 35 minutes by car. Windhoek is the capital city of Namibia and your gateway to the surreal beauty of the Namib Desert, eerie landscapes of Skeleton Coast, and magnificent wildlife of Etosha National Park. Windhoek is an interesting city where cultures collide and the modern streets are a brilliant contrast to the vast, wild landscapes of the rest of Namibia. South Africans do not need a visa to visit Windhoek, or anywhere else in Namibia. International visitors might need a Tourist Visa.

The attractions in Windhoek are quite varied, but all worth a visit if you want to experience the best of this bustling desert city. Christuskirche, Tintenpalast, Parliament Gardens, Alte Feste, and the Independence Memorial Museum will give you a glimpse into the history of Windhoek, while the National Art Gallery is worth a visit if you want to explore the artistic soul of the city. The Namibia Craft Centre is also home to some amazing artwork, particularly traditional Namibian arts and crafts such as hand carved tree roots, jewellery, and paintings. For a bit of nature, the National Botanic Garden of Namibia stretches for 12 hectares and is a beautiful showcase of the strange and wonderful indigenous flora of Namibia. You will find aloes, succulents, and quiver tree galore in this little slice of Eden. Daan Viljoen Game Reserve is a stunning stretch of landscape that is home to stunning hiking trails and animals such as oryx, steenbok, klipspringer, giraffe, and zebra. A visit to Katukura for kapana (traditional Namibian grill steak) is also one of the things you absolutely have to experience while visiting Windhoek. And of course, when you’ve seen the best of Windhoek, the rest of Namibia waits to be explored.
