In-Depth Information
Immediately beyond the city limits, the wild country begins. Approximately 40km to the east lies Hosea Ku-
tako International Airport, completely surrounded by the encroaching bush. Just to the west is Daan Viljoen Game
Park, where wild animals roam in the shadow of the capital.
Sleeping
Whether you bed down in a bunkhouse or slumber the night away in a historic castle,
Windhoek has no shortage of appealing accommodation options. Compared to the rest of
the country, prices in the capital are relatively high, though you can usually be assured of
a corresponding level of quality. Note that in a city this small, space is limited, so consider
booking your bed well in advance, especially if you're travelling during the high season,
holidays or even on busy weekends.

) Hands-down our favourite place in Windhoek to stay, Tamboti is very well priced, and
has a great vibe and terrific hosts who will go out of their way to ensure you are comfort-

spacious and well set up - it's situated on a small hill just above the city centre. Book
ahead as it's popular.
