 Visit Windhoek -
Dubbed a 'Cleanest City in Africa', Windhoek is the Capital City of the
Republic of Namibia, a country described as one of Africa's most vibrant and
successful sovereign states. Nestled in a basin surrounded by scenic
mountains in the central highlands of Namibia, Windhoek can be better
described as a ' Working City '. It is a thriving active, administrative,
commercial and industrial centre, serving as the melting pot and hub of most
economic and technological developments and activities in the country.
Namibia’s capital is Windhoek, and thanks to a brilliant stroke of German
planning, it’s located slap bang in the middle of the country. The name
translates as windy corner. The city has a population of around 200 000 - an
extremely small capital by global standards. Windhoek Airport is a major
international gateway to the country. |

| Eating and Drinking Windhoek German cuisine
dominates, but Namibian influence can be found in the quantity and quality
of meat on offer. (Vegetarians be warned, Namibia is a carnivore’s heaven.)
Joe’s Beerhouse is a Windhoek institution serving gigantic steaks and
draught Windhoek beer.

breweries building surrounded by a full range of handmade craft produced
