As the capital of Namibia, Windhoek sits at an altitude of 1,650 metres in a picturesque valley surrounded by the Eros, Auas, and Khomas mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name Windhoek originates from &#8220;Winter Hoek,&#8221; the name of a farm where former soldier Jonker Afrikaner established a settlement in the 19th century. Today, the city is renowned for its breweries, producing a variety of beers, including the popular &#8220;Windhoek&#8221; label. It is also a significant hub for Namibia\u2019s meat industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 1884 until the First World War, Windhoek was a German colony, and the influence of German language and culture remains evident to this day. The city boasts fascinating historic landmarks, such as the Alte Feste, Namibia\u2019s oldest building, and the charming Christchurch, both of which are must-sees. At Alte Feste, you\u2019ll also find Windhoek\u2019s National Museum, offering a glimpse into the city\u2019s rich history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t miss a visit to the parliament building, the &#8220;Tintenpalast&#8221;. From its beautifully maintained gardens, you\u2019ll enjoy stunning views of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevspacer-1FynF7 wp-block-lazyblock-upplevspacer\"><div class=\"upplev-spacer\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevhtml-TgHze wp-block-lazyblock-upplevhtml\"><div class=\"html-block\">\r\n   <div id=\"bordutexteng_hype_container\" class=\"HYPE_document\" style=\"margin:auto;position:relative;width:583px;height:56px;overflow:hidden;\">\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/safaricurated.com\/bor_du_text_eng.hyperesources\/bordutexteng_hype_generated_script.js?60752\"><\/script>\n\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-71655\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-108-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-71655 ml-slider ml-slider-lightbox-1-12-0 lightbox-disabled ms-theme-outline nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"EN_Namibia_Hotel_Heinitzburg_Windhoek\" data-height=\"500\" data-width=\"700\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_71655\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_71655\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block;

It is the desolate landscape, where hundreds of ships lie half-buried in fine white sand, that draws visitors from around the world. The many wrecks, combined with the dense fog that often forms here, give the coast a haunting atmosphere, and the area is surrounded by mystery. Portuguese explorers referred to the coastline as the &#8220;Gates of Hell,&#8221; while the indigenous people called it &#8220;the place that God created out of anger.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only day trips are permitted to the Skeleton Coast, with a few access points into the park.

The park was established in 1907 and is the most popular destination in Namibia for spotting a wide variety of wildlife. Etosha is home to four of the Big 5: leopard, elephant, rhino, and lion. The African buffalo is absent due to the lack of water sources. The park was created to allow visitors to embark on self-drive safaris, and it is easy to explore the park independently. However, we recommend booking a guided safari through one of the nearby lodges for a more enriched experience.

Each suite is elegantly furnished with natural materials, luxurious details, and offers a refreshing, climate-controlled sanctuary in the heart of the bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every suite has a private viewing deck with a 180-degree panoramic view, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the surrounding wilderness. In addition to the inviting and well-stocked bar, there is a spa offering stunning views of a frequently visited waterhole, and a hide where you can get incredibly close to the wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For inquiries regarding children&#8217;s stays at Anderssons at Ongava, please contact Safari Curated.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevaccommodationfacts-eb9q3 wp-block-lazyblock-upplevaccommodationfacts\"><h4 class=\"accommodationheading\">\r\n\tAccommodation Facts<\/h4>\r\n<p><span class=\"accheadline\">Number of Rooms\/Suites:<\/span> 9 suites including 2 family suites<br \/>\r\n<span class=\"accheadline\">Distance from Airport:<\/span> 1.5 hours by plane or 5 hours by car from Hosea Kutako International Airport<br \/>\r\n<span class=\"accheadline\">Worth Mentioning:<\/span> Named after the explorer Mr. Andersson from V\u00e4rmland, Sweden<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevspacer-Z4lqsv wp-block-lazyblock-upplevspacer\"><div class=\"upplev-spacer\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevhtml-ZYWC0i wp-block-lazyblock-upplevhtml\"><div class=\"html-block showdesktop\">\r\n   <div id=\"alternativeng_hype_container\" class=\"HYPE_document\" style=\"margin:auto;position:relative;width:583px;height:95px;overflow:hidden;\">\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/safaricurated.com\/alternativ_eng.hyperesources\/alternativeng_hype_generated_script.js?60275\"><\/script>\n\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"html-block showmobile\">\r\n   <div id=\"alternativmobileng_hype_container\" class=\"HYPE_document\" style=\"margin:auto;position:relative;width:360px;height:140px;overflow:hidden;\">\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/safaricurated.com\/alternativ-mobil_eng.hyperesources\/alternativmobileng_hype_generated_script.js?36264\"><\/script>\n\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevspacer-1k1iSA wp-block-lazyblock-upplevspacer\"><div class=\"upplev-spacer\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"upplev-separator\">\n\n    * * * \n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevspacer-18MQxE wp-block-lazyblock-upplevspacer\"><div class=\"upplev-spacer\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"165\" height=\"174\" src=\"https:\/\/safaricurated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/dag_for_dag_ikon_BAS_ENG_13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71597\" style=\"width:auto;height:90px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevsmallheading-ZkFUFz wp-block-lazyblock-upplevsmallheading\"><h4 class=\"smallheading\">\r\n    NATURE RESERVE<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:45px\">Zannier Reserve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Zannier Reserve is a private wildlife sanctuary covering 9,000 hectares, located approximately 30 minutes from Namibia\u2019s capital, Windhoek, and 35 minutes from Hosea Kutako International Airport. <br>The reserve is home to a variety of wildlife, including rhinos, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, leopards, and many other species, providing a protected habitat for Namibia\u2019s diverse fauna.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevspacer-Z1Gu5sq wp-block-lazyblock-upplevspacer\"><div class=\"upplev-spacer\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-upplevhtml-xggTf wp-block-lazyblock-upplevhtml\"><div class=\"html-block\">\r\n   <div id=\"bordutexteng_hype_container\" class=\"HYPE_document\" style=\"margin:auto;position:relative;width:583px;height:56px;overflow:hidden;\">\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/safaricurated.com\/bor_du_text_eng.hyperesources\/bordutexteng_hype_generated_script.js?60752\"><\/script>\n\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-71673\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-108-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-71673 ml-slider ml-slider-lightbox-1-12-0 lightbox-disabled ms-theme-outline nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"EN_Namibia_Zannier_Omaanda\" data-height=\"500\" data-width=\"700\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_71673\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_71673\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block;
