Windhoek is definitely worth a visit. The city has a rich history and culture, interesting nature experiences just outside its borders, and a diverse culinary scene.

Windhoek is one of the world’s major centres for the karakul sheep-skin trade. Windhoek has two traditional names: Otjomuise and /Ae //Gams. Windhoek’s name may be derived from the word “Winterhoek”, the the name of the mountains surrounding Tulbagh in South Africa.

While the city is relatively clean and safe in comparison to other major cities, visitors are warned that Windhoek is very different to the rest of the country and one is advised to lock all valuables away in a safe and not to walk around the city centre with expensive items, such as cameras and cell phones, on display.

Its unique combination of Gothic architecture cast in African stone makes it one of the architectural masterpieces in the country and a popular tourist attraction.

Areas north of Windhoek pose a small risk of malaria, which increases during the wet season. However, the risk increases the further east you travel, i.e., the Zambezi region or Botswana or Zambia. The best way to prevent malaria is not to get bitten by wearing long sleeves/pants, putting on repellent and ensuring that your tent is zipped up to prevent mossies from getting into the tent. Please seek a specialist health centre’s advice or visit your doctor prior to your trip to give you up to date advice on prophylactics, but please be aware that this still does not give you 100% protection. Your doctor will also provide you with advice on other health requirements.

A 4×4 will get you to the foot of the Sossusvlei dunes to allow for more time to appreciate the area. The Kuiseb Canyon and the so-called ‘Moon Landscape” are reached by a long and winding gravel road which is accessible in a two wheel drive car but for ease and peace of mind a 4×4 is recommended.

Sleeping on-top a car gives you an added sense of security in the wilderness. Generally speaking, camping is safe, even on the non-fenced campsites. Most animals do not perceive tents as tents with people inside, but interpret them as large animals or objects, hence an attack is very unlikely. But because of the weather conditions we don’t really encourage our clients to camp at Swakopmund or Walvis Bay.

The Himba people mainly live in the North-West part of Namibia. Please remember when you visit the tribes to show respect to them and their cultures and views. They are also changing to the environment they live in today, so do not be surprised to see them in modern clothing or occasionally clutching a cell phone! Please also be aware that whilst we endeavour to arrange walks and meetings with the tribes, they choose what and when they wish to do things, which can occasionally be out of our control.

Brandberg means “Fire Mountain” in German and the local Afrikaans, a literal translation of the tribal Damara name, Dâures.
