Windhoek is a fascinating city - enjoy a Windhoek Day tour and 
let us bring the culture and history of this African city to life.
Welcome to Namibia’s capital city, where the geometric shapes of modern buildings bears down on German colonial architecture of a more elegant era. Incongruous in a sun-drenched land, the steeply pitched roofs are a legacy of Europe’s snowy climbs. Windhoek has a “continental” atmosphere that can be ascribed to its historical architecture back to 1890, as well as its cuisine, culture, dress codes and educational institutions. The city has an active and lively community of art and crafts people.
Galleries where exhibitions are held, commercial galleries, craft co-operatives, shopping complexes, a large number of curio shops and features of historical interest are contained within the city. Our rich mix of cultural diversity ensures something special for every mood. Windhoek is usually the first city guests experience when arriving in Namibia but also often the last destination before embarking on their flight back home. Other than excellent cuisine and shopping opportunities, various excursions are offered in and around the city, taking in a variety of options and catering for every need.
Activities
- The Diamond Works
- Half-Day Guided Tours
- Horseriding
- 4x4 Driving Course
Comments that encapsulate Windhoek, Namibia's largest city: noticeably clean; modern yet juxtaposed with German architecture from early colonial history; a strong Germanic influence still remains; German cuisine (particularly good quality meats) dominates menus; German is widely spoken, although English is the official language.
