Airport Car Rental
Located far away from the coast, near the geographical center of Namibia, Windhoek sits at an elevation of 1,600 m (1 mile). While the isolated location and the dry, moonlike landscapes that surround it give it a remote feel, Windhoek is also a modern capital with plenty of culture and entertainment going on. These are three of the most interesting attractions in and around it:
- Alte Feste. A fortification built in the late 19th century when the area was ruled by German colonizers, Alte Feste is not just an impressive structure in its own right but also a notable memorial of Namibia’s complicated history. Somewhat appropriately, then, it now houses the National Museum.
- Parliament Gardens. There’s lots of fascinating nature in Namibia, and some of it can be enjoyed without leaving the capital – a case in point being the Parliament Gardens. Located next to the Ink Palace, the seat of the Parliament of Namibia, this former olive grove is known not just for the publicly available greenery but also for housing bronze statues of former political leaders, chiefs, and anti-apartheid activists.
- Namib-Naukluft National Park. There are several nature preserves around the capital — Daan Viljoen is just half an hour’s drive to the northwest — but to enjoy the full might of Namibian outdoors, head to Namib-Naukluft National Park. Known for its otherworldly landscapes, totally wild combinations of colors, and the fact that it is the largest in all of Africa, the national park is home to such wildlife as leopards, cape foxes, and gemsbok antelopes. The drive from Windhoek takes about four hours each way and requires some planning (parts of the park are only accessible with a 4x4), but the experience is worth it.

Renting a car through a website turned out much more expensive than what it would have cost if I only pitched and rented at the desk.

Drive from Airport to Windhoek and Otjiwarango you are more than likely to meet wild pigs along the road. There are also natural features to look at along the highways. the Omatako hills, ant hills.
