A little bit of Germany in Africa sounds fascinating, doesn’t it? Visit Windhoek, the capital of Namibia and a city still influenced by the legacy of its German colonization. Most travelers to Namibia enter the country through Windhoek. While some just pass through it, this city with its incongruous German castles, cultural sights, culinary delights, and shopping options makes it a great place to relax for a few days.
Visit the National Botanic Garden of Namibia to see exotic quiver tree forests, succulents, and acacias. Learn about the end of apartheid at the modern Independence Memorial Museum or explore the historical Katutura township. Shop for authentic souvenirs at one of the many colorful stalls at the Namibia Craft Center. Windhoek offers plenty of the best accommodations and even Airbnb vacation rentals for your trip. We have put together a list of some of the best self-catering accommodations in Windhoek, Namibia.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on August 21, 2024.
