Learn more about hotels in Windhoek

Nestled snugly within the Khomas Highland plateau, Windhoek is the bustling capital and largest city of Namibia, sitting at an elevation of approximately 1,700 metres. Born out of the union of indigenous tribal settlements and German colonial roots, Windhoek now houses a population of over 431,000 inhabitants, perfectly enthusing a delightful cocktail of cultures and languages, including Afrikaans, German and English. Home to a remarkable assortment of national enterprises, political bodies, educational institutions and cultural hubs, Windhoek truly serves as Namibia's nerve centre.

The city's history dates back to the 1840s when Jonker Afrikaner, a notable figure amongst indigenous tribes, established a community around a persistent hot spring. Named Windhoek, which translates to "windy corner" in Afrikaans, the city boasts a rich heritage encapsulated in landmarks dotted across the terrain such as the Old Fortress, locally known as Alte Feste, and magnificent castles from the era of German rule. Infrastructure and amenities in Windhoek have progressively evolved to include mercantile arenas, contemporary transport systems, fine dining establishments, sports arenas and, of course, stellar accommodation options.

When to visit Windhoek

Immerse yourself in the incredible diversity of Namibian wildlife during the dry season from June through October, the best season for a family outing in Windhoek. The dry season also presents an unparalleled opportunity for phenomenal wildlife viewing, especially in the Etosha National Park, as the animals gather around watering holes.

On the flip side, while the wet season from December to March can entail humid days and the occasional afternoon downpour, it paints Windhoek in hues of bright green, casting a refreshing aura over the city. Also, the post-rains phase allows for lower hotel rates, attracting those seeking a sumptuous holiday without burning a hole in their pockets. Undeniably, this city's charm isn't tethered to time, making any period of the year ideal for an unforgettable visit to Windhoek.
