Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Windhoek is one of Africa's safest and most manageable capitals for solo travelers — compact, English-speaking, and with excellent infrastructure. The city itself is a short stop; use it to get your overland rental car sorted and plan your Namibia route. Independence Avenue is safe to walk during the day. The Joe's Beerhouse is Windhoek's great social institution for solo travelers — go for dinner.
