Things to do in Windhoek, Khomas Region: The Best Outdoor Activities
Many visitors to Namibia start their adventure in Windhoek, the capital and largest city of this South African country. Nama, Herero, German, Afrikaans, and British cultures have influenced the growth and development of Windhoek. Visit the statue of Hosea Kutako, a nationalist hero, in the gardens surrounding the Tintenpalast, the seat of the Namibian legislature, or chow down on ostrich kebab or zebra steak at Joe’s Beerhouse before leaving on a safari into the Namibian wilderness.

The best way to view the awesome scenery and wildlife of Namibia.... on horseback!
Reviewed By foerster-nina
Equitrails Namibia really offers the full package. From livery stables, to riding lessons, to beautiful outrides. My horse is boarded at Equitrails Namibia and I have been fortunate to join many of the outrides, especially the Sun Downer rides and they are amazing! From Dams, to bush, to mountains, to wildlife viewing (kudus, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, many different birds, steenboks, tortoises, jackals). Everything you could possibly want, including a cheeky Gin and Tonic to round it off! Sam's horses are all in tip-top condition and extremely well cared for and happy. Sam is very careful about pairing each horse and rider appropriately. She caters for all ages and levels, from complete beginners to experienced riders. Her compassion and knowledge is second-to-none, both as an instructor and a guide. She is, without a doubt, the best riding instructor and guide I have ever known. Anyone lucky enough to join one of Sam's rides will not regret it! It's a truly wonderful and magnificent experience.

To say we thoroughly enjoyed spending a week driving a vehicle from Africa 4x4 Rentals would be a tremendous understatement! We traveled to Namibia just recently (January 2020) and would not have traveled the country any other way! For starters, we can't stress enough how we absolutely recommend renting a 4x4 if you're going to be exploring Namibia. Many of Namibia's roads aren't paved, and you don't want to end up in a sticky situation! The one thing you can't predict when renting from a company is the service and helpfulness of the staff, and Africa 4x4 Rentals delivered like never before! From the moment we got there, the staff was friendly, helpful and insightful. They explained everything we needed to know about the truck and driving Namibia's rugged terrain. The truck spoke for itself as it was equipped with everything you could need; fridge, pop-up tent with a comfortable mattress, 2 spare tires, jumper cables, a comfortable interior cabin and air conditioning just to name a few. All in all, if Namibia was on your bucket list, make it happen, but do not do so without renting a truck from Africa 4x4 Rentals, they seriously will not disappoint! Would highly recommend and would definitely rent from them again!
