Welcome to Windhoek
Windhoek sits at the heart of Namibia, surrounded by the Khomas Highland and a landscape of open savanna and rocky hills. It's a city where colonial German architecture meets contemporary African culture, and the streets are calm enough to explore on foot. Resorts in Windhoek often feature landscaped bush gardens and serve as natural starting points for trips to Etosha National Park and the Namib Desert.

When to visit Windhoek
High and low season in Windhoek
The dry season, roughly May through October, is when most visitors choose to travel to Windhoek. Skies are clear, days are warm, and the conditions make it easy to get around and explore. This is also peak travel season for Namibia as a whole, so booking accommodation early gives you more options and better rates.
The rainy season, from around November through April, brings fewer visitors and a noticeably greener landscape around Windhoek. Prices tend to be lower, and you'll find it easier to secure accommodation without much advance planning. The trade-off is occasional heavy downpours, which can disrupt travel days, particularly if you're planning trips into surrounding areas.
Windhoek hosts a handful of cultural and community events across the year, including the Windhoek Carnival and various arts and music gatherings. Specific dates and lineups can shift, so the Namibia Tourism Board website is a good place to check current schedules before your trip. Your accommodation can also point you toward anything happening locally during your stay.
