Windhoek is the calm, compact capital of Namibia and the launching point for one of Africa's greatest road trips. From this highland city of German colonial facades and open skies, the country unfolds into apricot dunes, gravel plains, and wildlife-rich savanna. Set out toward the horizon and you'll find some of the emptiest, most cinematic landscapes on the continent!
When to go
The dry winter, from May to October, is prime time: mild days, cool nights, and thirsty animals gathering at waterholes make for superb wildlife viewing. The hotter summer months bring occasional rains that green the desert and fill the pans.

Good to know before you go
The currency is the Namibian dollar, pegged one-to-one with the South African rand, which is also accepted, and English is the official language. In the city, taxis and the local LEFA ride-hailing app get you around easily, while most travellers explore the country on guided safaris and overland tours; a rental car or camper is the classic way to self-drive, though under-25s often face a young-driver surcharge and the gravel roads reward careful, unhurried driving. Distances are vast, so fuel up whenever you can and carry water.
