Greets to Herr Bünzli
Windhoek will be, when it comes to your lifestyle, just the right place to be ;o)
The best  to be found in Southern Africa is brewed in NAM and is IMO "Windhoek Draught"
Anyway, since Tim nudged me to write some lines: When entering NAM from Angola turn right, along the Kunene River and check out the Epupa Falls. When lots of water, truely spectacular. South of Opuwo is Twyfelfontein where you find beautiful rock engravings. In Windhoek hang out at Joe's Beer House, 160 Nelson Mandela Ave- Great vibe and travellers' meeting point. Swakopmund is a must-see for its "Kaiser"-style architechture. But if you're short of time go straight for Lüderitz, the oldest settlement during the German colonial era. There is the interesting ghost town Kolmans Koppe.
From there the great Fish River canyon isn't far. If time allows take the piste on th north bank of the Orange river to Sendelings Drif. There is a ferry to South Africa. Then circle around the southern border of the Richtersveld NP from Sendelings Drif to Vioolsdrif. A very scenic piste.
Enjoy!
