The local history of resistance to colonialism is showcased over three floors of dramatic artwork. There is a restaurant at the top with must-see panoramic views of all of Windhoek and the surrounding mountains.
It was the legislative assembly during the Apartheid days and is now the home of the National Assembly. There is also a new building next door for the National Council. And on the grounds is a garden with olive trees and bougainvilleas and bronze statues of independence freedom fighters.
A war memorial with graves and a giant statue to the unknown soldier (that resembles Sam Nujoma). Designed and built by an North Korean firm, the Soviet aesthetic does show. Few visitors; the restaurant and toilets seem perpetually closed and the exhibition halls are empty.
Hiking trails and lots of ungulates. Rolling savannah, giraffes, ostrich, nasty acacia-like thorns and the like. 40 km². 4x4 riding, pool, camping also available.
Hiking, biking, birding, wildlife viewing. Security present during day, but don't go after dark.
