Day 1 - Unveiling Windhoek
Welcome to Windhoek! Let’s begin by exploring the Christuskirche one of the city's symbols, a blend of neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau architectural styles, a silent watcher of history.

On a sunny day 2, are you ready to encounter Namibia’s wildlife up close? Let’s proceed to Daan Viljoen Game Reserve, a sanctuary where zebras, giraffes, and other magnificent creatures roam freely in their natural habitat. Nothing can beat the exhilaration of witnessing these animals in real, wouldn't you agree? Post a gastronomic lunch, head for a thrilling hike in the Klein Windhoek River, a laid-back serene spot just outside Windhoek. As the day concludes, experience a glorious African sunset over Windhoek at the About Travel Sky Bar. A perfect end to a wild day!

On our last day, let's absorb everything Windhoek has to offer starting with Katutura, a vibrant township teeming with energy. Ever tried Kapana? It's street food that you'll find irresistible! Afterwards, visit Namibia's version of the Green Market that is the Post Street Mall. Immerse yourself in a symphony of colours, sounds, and smells from the tantalizing food stalls, unique artefacts and sparkling gemstones stores. Feeling creative? Stop by the National Art Gallery of Namibia for inspiring African contemporary art. In the evening, bid farewell at the Stellenbosch Wine Bar and Bistro – a signature dining experience to top off your journey. What a whirlwind three days in Windhoek it will be!
