Good but dry. Many families get humidifiers upon arrival. Our children had nose bleeds on and off for a few weeks but, after the adjustment period, they were fine. - Jan 2016


Good. - Jun 2015


Namibia is one of the darkest places on the planet. You will never see stars like you do here---they're absolutely incredible. Bring a telescope or head out to a few of the lodges near Windhoek that have their own giant telescopes set up to really enjoy the view. - May 2013


Fabulous! Windhoek is considered high altitude so air is a bit thinner. - Jan 2013


Great. No pollution except for some field fires in the winter. No humidity in the winter and this is tough on some folks (dry skin, upper respiratory illness, etc.). - Jul 2012
