Entertainment in Windhoek

  1. Club Thriller

    Lies in a rough area, but beyond the weapons-search at the door, the music is Western and African and the atmosphere upbeat and relatively secure. However, avoid carrying valuables or wearing jewellery; foreigners may also have to fend off strangers hitting them up for beers and cash. Women travelling alone may not feel comfortable here.

  2. La Dee Da's

    This place boasts Namibia's largest national flag; here you can dance to Angolan kizomba (fast paced Portuguese-African music), hip-hop, rave, traditional African, rock and commercial pop accompanied by special effects.

    Chez Ntemba

    Music from all across the continent is played here - you'll hear Angolan, Zambian, Congolese and South African tunes all in the same night, though there's a healthy dose of home-grown favourites as well.

    Warehouse Theatre

    A delightfully integrated club staging live African and European music and theatre productions, though unfortunately it's only open when there's a scheduled event.
