Things to Do in Windhoek
Starting points for your perfect trip
N/a'an ku sê Wildlife Sanctuary
N/a’an ku sê Wildlife Sanctuary, 45 minutes east, rescues cheetahs, leopards, and African wild dogs from human-wildlife conflict. Walk alongside habituated cheetahs, witness carnivore feeding sessions, and learn how San community programs integrate conservation with cultural preservation.
Katutura Township & Kapana Trail
Katutura township, created by apartheid-era removals in 1961, offers sizzling kapana at Oshetu Community Market, artisan crafts at Penduka near Goreangab Dam, and powerful stories of Namibia’s road to independence.
German Colonial Heritage Walk
Trace Windhoek’s history in one compact kilometer, from the 1910 Christuskirche and 1913 Tintenpalast to the 2014 Independence Memorial Museum, revealing colonialism, resistance, and nationhood.
Daan Viljoen Highland Safari
Hike the 9-kilometer Rooibos Trail through Daan Viljoen Game Reserve in the Khomas Hochland, just 24 kilometers west. Mountain zebra, kudu, and eland graze below ridgelines while Monteiro’s Hornbill and Rüppell’s Parrot appear among 200-plus bird species overhead.
Joe’s Beerhouse & Namibian Brew Trail
Dine among recycled aircraft parts and vintage Namibiana at Joe’s Beerhouse, a Windhoek landmark since 1991 with seating for 750. Enjoy Windhoek Lager, brewed under Germany’s 1516 purity law since 1920, and explore the city’s growing craft beer scene.
Heroes’ Acre National Monument
Namibia’s foremost national memorial stands on a hilltop 10 kilometers south, inaugurated in 2002. A bronze Unknown Soldier statue rises atop 172 marble steps flanked by panels chronicling the liberation struggle, from early colonial resistance through to independence on March 21, 1990.
