About location

Khomas has served as Namibia’s administrative heartland since independence in 1990. The region includes Windhoek, the national capital, and stretches across the dry uplands of central Namibia. The Khomas Hochland shapes much of its western terrain, while the Auas Mountains rise south-east of Windhoek; the Swakop River follows a westward course through the region. In Windhoek, the 1910 Christuskirche and the Independence Memorial Museum mark chapters of Namibia’s colonial past and sovereign present. Beyond the capital lie ranching country, thornveld and a sparsely settled interior whose rhythm is set by seasonal rains. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Khomas.

Country Namibia

Namibia is best known internationally for the Namib Desert and the red dunes surrounding Sossusvlei. Along the Atlantic, the Skeleton Coast links fog-bound shores with an exceptionally dry interior, while Etosha National Park centres on a vast salt pan where wildlife congregates at waterholes during the dry season. In the south, the Fish River Canyon cuts through arid terrain; farther north-west, Damaraland is noted for desert-adapted elephants and rock formations. Twyfelfontein preserves prehistoric rock engravings and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Windhoek, the capital, is the country’s administrative and transport hub.
