Windhoek is the commercial hub of the country with excellent accommodation and shopping – and of course it is the aerial gateway to Namibia. 

Situated at an altitude of 5,500 feet one arrives in Windhoek and starts to experience a taste of things to come – surrounded by the Auas Mountains to the south east, the Eros Mountains to the north east and the Khomas Hochland to the west.

From this central point the incredible diversity of this land lies within striking distance – from the Kalahari in the south east, the Fish River Canyon, the great Namib – oldest of all deserts, the imposing Waterberg plateau in the north, the Skeleton Coast, Etosha, Damaraland, Caprivi – all evocative names which tickle the taste buds of any would be adventurer.
