Namibia Desert Fly in safari

Day 1: Windhoek

On arrival at the Windhoek International Airport you will be welcomed by our company representative and transferred to Namibia’s capital city, Windhoek.
Windhoek is often described as a city with a “continental” atmosphere due to its architecture (historical buildings dating back to the German colonial rule), cuisine, culture, dress and educational institutions. Windhoek portrays the color, sounds of a modern African city with its displays of African drums and woodcarvings on the pavements, which contrast with the elegant shops offering sophisticated Swakara garments and Namibian gemstone and sidewalk cafes offering Namibian style breakfasts which can be enjoyed with a glass of sparkling wine or locally brewed draught beer. In addition to steak houses and coffee bars serving snacks, the city has a wide range of à la carte restaurants offering German, French, Taiwanese, Portuguese, Italian, African and Chinese cuisine.
