Best Tours & activities in Windhoek (2026)

Windhoek is where most Namibian journeys begin, and the capital is home to many established safari operators. Chameleon Safaris, running since 1995, offers scheduled small-group camping and lodge safaris that depart even with few bookings, along with a half-day city and township tour that visits the Christuskirche, the Independence Memorial Museum, Katutura's Single Quarters market and the Penduka craft project. Crazy Kudu Safaris, founded in 1996, runs guaranteed camping safaris every Saturday and, in the high season, every Wednesday, with a maximum of ten people per group.

For more tailored or upmarket travel, Namibia Tracks and Trails, founded in 1986, arranges guided lodge and camping tours, self-drive packages and fly-in safaris across Namibia and Botswana, and runs its own camps. When choosing a tour, decide first between camping and lodge accommodation, and check how many days are spent driving: Sossusvlei and Etosha are both several hours from Windhoek. Book well ahead for July to October and school holidays, ask about airport transfers, and confirm what is included, such as park fees, meals and drinks.
