How often have you looked over a fence along a gravel road, wishing you could get on the other side to climb a mountain or walk along a river bed? Not even an hour’s drive from the city centre of Windhoek, neighbouring farmers now invite hikers to climb over their fences, walk along river beds, scale mountains, enjoy spectacular views and then camp out under the stars.

How about taking a couple of minutes to escape from your screen and busy schedule? Finish the year with the same energy you started. I have compiled a list of tiny escapes right here in Windhoek with beautiful views. Beauty is everywhere, whether you appreciate it today, on Christmas day or only next year January until the “New Year, new me” motion has passed. There is poetry in each sunset, a spiritual element in every scenic view. Few things are as liberating as watching a sunset from your favourite spot with a good friend.
