Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia, is located in the very centre of the country and has a lot to offer. You won't have the opportunity to let boredom set in since there are so many exciting and enjoyable things for you to do.
You may learn in great depth about the colonial government, the resistance movements, the fight for racial freedom, as well as the eventual attainment of independence in the nation by going to the Independence Museum. The exhibition includes paintings, relics, and educational exhibits that relate unsettling tales from a historical point of view. The museum is accessible to visitors on a daily basis. If you're looking for a place that is close to many tourist attractions like this, then you can look into properties like Avani Windhoek Hotel & Casino, which is centrally located.
Among the top things to do in Windhoek is to visit this historic church. In front of the buildings that house the parliament, you'll find Christuskirche, often known as Christ Church. This church has an unusual blend of Neo-Gothic as well as Neo-Romanesque design. This national monument is easily distinguishable from other buildings due to the unique amalgamation of architectural styles, the imported clock from Germany, and the stained-glass windows. On Sundays, the service is held in German at ten in the morning.
Stop by the Namibia Craft Centre if you feel the need for some peace and quiet, or if you just want to treat yourself to a delicious cup of coffee, some freshly pressed juice, or some scrumptious cheesecake or apple strudel. The facility, which is situated in the heart of town, has parking spaces for guests' use. The initiative, which is led by around forty women, creates a retail environment in which Namibians may sell their handcrafted goods, curios, and vegetables. The stock originates from Namibia with a 95% capacity. The other 5% is comprised of different types of African handcraft from different parts of the continent.
Head to the Daan Viljoen Game Reserve, which is located around 24 kilometres west of Windhoek. This refuge is home to almost two hundred different kinds of birds and a wide diversity of mammals. You are going to have a wonderful day exploring the game park on your own, taking in the beautiful scenery, and searching for animals such as mountain zebras, klipspringers, kudus, giraffes, and blue wildebeest, amongst others. You are free to explore the park on foot or even on a bike.
The National Botanic Garden is the sole botanic park in the nation, and it is home to many of the country's most interesting plant species. To visit the garden, you only need to travel to the city centre of Windhoek. In addition to serving as an educational, scientific, and recreational institution for both Namibians and visitors to the country, its primary objective is to preserve and publicise the flora of Namibia. There is a vast variety of succulents native to Namibia, many of which are very uncommon and at risk of extinction. The garden has a number of different paths for strolling.
