Expect the extraordinary Olive Grove Guesthouse Windhoek, Namibia Day 1 Upon your arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport, make your own way to the arrivals hall where you will be welcomed by an andBeyond representative. Namibia's capital, Windhoek is a bustling metropolis that is unexpectedly neat and orderly, though this is perhaps less surprising when one considers it was a German territoty for many years. This is the main port of call for most tourists and all travellers pass through the city at least once. Situated in a pretty valley, Windhoek boasts buildings very much in the German architectural style. The German presence can be strongly felt in the food, restaurants – and, of course, the beer. The Namibian beer is said to be the best in Africa and is brewed in Windhoek. Spend your 1 night stay at Olive Grove Guest House in a Luxury Room with ensuite bathroom. Your stay includes breakfast and wifi. www.andBeyond.com Self-Drive Safari in Namibia (Value) 2019-Rack –2018- 12-18
