Windhoek Holidays
Windhoek is Namibia's capital, and is situated in an airy basin in the central highlands, flanked by the Auas Mountains to the south-east, the Eros Mountains to the north-east and the rolling hills of the Khomas Hochland to the west.
It is a city of many contrasts, modern skyscrapers blend with historic buildings dating from the turn of the century. African drums and wood carvings from the north displayed on pavements vie with elegant shops offering sophisticated Swakara garments and Namibian gemstones set in individually-designed pieces of jewellery.
