Namibia's longest cave system. There are several species of bats, and some endemic shrimp in an underground lake. The hiking tour is guided and takes about an hour. It leads 100 m underground. Bring a torch, and wear old clothes: The walk is entirely on bat guano, and the hiking group will smell like a public latrine when it reemerges into the sunlight. There is a bar and a pool but no restaurant. You can also camp or stay overnight in chalets. The camp site is well equipped, with electricity and hot water but almost no grass.
Guest farm with 6 chalets. Camping on 12 generously sized spots with tin shade but no grass, not easy to get to with a sedan car. Tap water and hot shower available for camping, no electricity. Three small swimming pools. Some trails on the farm (for hiking or 4x4 driving) lead to viewpoints and spectacular landscape. More or less all driving trails are under construction, and signposting is sketchy, but the manager has a map from which you can take a picture. The small farm shop bakes bread every morning.
A self-catering house on top of a hill, and three exclusive camping spots along an ephemeral river. Camping spots each have shower, toilet, artificial shade, braai facilities, and a baby pool. No AC power but solar lights and a solar charger for a mobile fridge and USB devices. Tents and further equipment for hire.
By car
Windhoek lies at the intersection of two major highways, the B1 which runs from north to south all across Namibia, and the B6 to Gobabis and further to Botswana.
By train
There is a train service between Windhoek and Walvis Bay/Swakopmund to the west, Gobabis to the east, and Keetmanshoop to the south, each a few times a week.
By public transport
Between towns you can catch a minibus, and Windhoek is on the route of the big coaches that travel from the South African cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg to Gaborone, Lusaka, Livingstone,…
There is no public transport to tourist destinations, you have to get around by car or private airplane. You can book private tours (a 4x4 and a driver) to almost any Namibian destination in Windhoek.

Travel tipsIt is quite common for travellers to buy gems or finished jewellery during a trip. Often price and selection are better in places where stones are mined, cut or set than elsewhere.
