The 15 Best Tours in Windhoek

79 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $22

Most Namibian trips begin and end in the capital, usually with a spare half-day at each end. These 15 fill it properly: the city centre and its churches, Katutura with a guide who lives there, the craft markets, and the long safaris that count their day one from here.
