Full-day guided experience
The Khomas Hochland Experience
Discover the Khomas Hochland
West of Windhoek, the Khomas Hochland is a highland region of rolling mountain ranges, rocky outcrops, sweeping valleys and open savannah — part of the escarpment between Namibia’s central plateau and the lower-lying land towards the Namib. Following the C28, you’ll watch the city give way to quiet mountain scenery.
Historical stops along the C28
1. Liebig’s House
Often called the Ghost House, this weathered building is associated with the Liebig’s Extract of Meat Company (LEMCO) and is believed to have housed senior company staff during the colonial period. A striking photo stop.
2. Dronkenpost Monument
Associated with the name Trockenposten and the historic Von François Fort — a chance to discuss the colonial presence, movement through the region and early military outposts in what was then German South West Africa.
