Windhoek is the capital and biggest city in Namibia and is home to a large urban population of people from all over the country. This makes it a great place to experience the different cultures, as well as the beautiful fusion of those cultures, the country's history and everything in between.
Except for a few people doing multi cross country driving, most visitors to Namibia will be flying in and flying out via Windhoek. This makes it an easy addition to any safari in Namibia.
While Namibia's countryside is mindblowing, Windhoek remains the best place to learn about Namibia as well as the daily lives of the people in the city.
