Camping Namibia

Region: Khomas

Khomas is home to Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, and the surrounding highland farmland of the Khomas Hochland. Campsites here suit both overnight stopovers for travellers arriving or departing via Hosea Kutako International Airport and weekend trips for locals, ranging from guest farms in the mountains west of the city to riverside camps a short drive from the CBD.
