Getting There
Most international flights into Namibia land at Windhoek's Chief Hosea Kutako International Airport (061-299 6602; www.airports.com.na), 42km east of the capital city. Shorter-haul international flights may also use Windhoek's in-town Eros Airport (061-299 6500), although this airport mainly serves internal flights and light aircraft.
There are frequent flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town to Windhoek or Walvis Bay. Regular flights also operate between Windhoek and Swakopmund/Windhoek and Etosha. Scheduled flights from Maun and Victoria Falls to Windhoek are also available.
Shuttle/Charter Flight:
A few light aircraft shuttle flights are available into the NamibRand, but getting into most areas necessitates a private charter from Windhoek. These are relatively inexpensive and save time for the busy traveller.
The main carrier is Air Namibia (www.airnamibia.com.na), which flies routes within southern Africa as well as some international flights to London and Frankfurt. The Intercape Mainliner (0861 287 287; www.intercape.co.za) service from Windhoek to Cape Town runs four times weekly. Travelling between Jo'burg and Windhoek involves a connection in Upington.
