Namibia's central area's include the regions of Hardap, Erongo, Khomas,
and parts of Omaheke as well as its capital Windhoek. The area varies between Bushveld
and desert along its west coast. Included in the area is the Namib-Naukluft National Park
which is the largest game park in Africa and also contains the worlds oldest desert. The
area around Windhoek is typical Bushveld country, while Windhoek itself contains a number
of interesting historical sites.

Spend a few days in Windhoek if you are in the area. It still has a certain
atmosphere stemming from German colonial era. This can be seen in the architecture of
the "Alte Feste" which used to be a German fort, the "Tintenpalast", which today houses
the Namibian legislature, or the "Christus Kirche". Many of the old houses in Windhoek also
have a distinctly German colonial style. For a taste of African bush try the Daan Viljoen
Game Reserve just west of Windhoek.
