22 days in Windhoek & Victoria Falls Itinerary

Located in the heart of the country, Namibia's capital city Windhoek receives a constant influx of tourists, in part because of its international airport.

Step off the beaten path and head to Gross Barmen Hot Springs and Trans-Namib Railroad Museum. Escape the urban bustle at Safaris and Nande Explorer Cultural Township Tours. There's lots more to do: admire the striking features of Christuskirche, admire the natural beauty at Parliament Gardens, don't miss a visit to Heroes Acre, and stroll through Avis Dam Nature Reserve.
