Well worth a visit, especially at the beginning of a visit to Namibia. When we were there, a lot of the plants were dried up, yet around the rest of the country we saw the trees and bushes in flower. Helpful signs on a few plants and trees - not many guests, so you can expect to be alone.

We were there in the dry season (September) and it hadn't rained for some time. Therefore, there really wasn't anything to see. Everything looked dead, though it was dormant as it is their winter. If you went in the rainy season, it might be very nice. The trails were very well maintained.

Located near the city centre, the Botanical Gardens is a quiet spot that hosts a guided walk once a month, with regular open days. We come here just to relax and admire Namibia's indigenous flora.

The Gardens are very well kept. Additionally they have a very interesting Fountain.

A good mixture of well laid out trails giving views of many types of desert and scrub plants from many areas of Namibia.

We were searching where to go to spend a few hours in Windhoek or just around. Dan Viljoen nature reserve was closed, we had already visited the craft center, we didn't want to go for a long drive and we didn't feel like walking in a mall... What next? The botanical garden! Don't expect much, just enjoy what it has... More
