Windhoek is often treated as little more than the starting point for a trip around Namibia. Most travellers fly in, pick up a rental car or join a tour and head straight for the desert, national parks and dramatic landscapes the country is famous for.
Planning a trip to Namibia?
We’ve partnered with Chameleon Safaris to offer our readers an exclusive 10% discount on any safari or tour booked directly through their website.
One of the most common questions we get after travelling in Namibia is whether it’s better to join a guided safari tour or rent a 4×4 and drive yourself.
We decided to rent a fully equipped 4×4 and spend eight days exploring Namibia independently.
Thinking about joining a Namibia group tour? We spent nine incredible days travelling across the country with Chameleon Safaris on their Canyons, Dunes & Wildlife tour.
