Highlights
Explore Daan Viljoen on a guided 9 km hike and walking safari through the Khomas Hochland. Walk through hills, valleys and riverbeds, pause at viewpoints, and look out for giraffes, wildebeest, kudu, oryx, klipspringer, zebras, guinea fowl and baboons. Wildlife roams freely, so sightings are not guaranteed. Begin with pickup at your confirmed Windhoek location. Hike through highland terrain around 1,700 metres above sea level, with uphill and downhill sections and uneven ground. A reasonable level of fitness is needed; share mobility concerns before the trip so your guide can assess suitability. Allow approximately four hours including Windhoek pickup and return transfers, with around 3–4 hours on the trail depending on pace and conditions. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring drinking water, sun protection and a warm layer. Pickup and drop-off are included. The Daan Viljoen park entrance fee is N$200 per person, payable separately.

About Windhoek
Windhoek is Namibia's compact capital on a high central plateau, with German colonial buildings, craft markets and wild country in every direction.
Windhoek lies about 1,650 metres above sea level in the middle of Namibia, ringed by hills and thorn bush. It began as a German colonial post in the 1890s, and the Christuskirche, a Lutheran church of 1910 in pale sandstone, and the Alte Feste, an old fort that is now a museum, recall that period. The Tintenpalast, the seat of parliament, stands in a garden, and Independence Avenue runs through the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Windhoek: Deadvlei, Etosha National Park, National Museum of Namibia.
