15.Scenic Game Drive Activity

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 31 reviews · from $138

Review of Windhoek’s Düsternbrook game drive, with cheetahs, leopards, hippos, sunset views, transport details, value, and practical advice.

“A very affordable trip, with two parts - one is a cat feeding tour and the other a longer, general tour. During the feeding tour you get very close to the felines (but it's super safe) and I found out a lot of great information about them. Then the second tour offer a lot of animal sightings including hippos, giraffes, several species of antelope, ostriches, rhinos and others. Got a lot of good photos. All the animals are in very good shape and have a lot of space. All in all a good visit that was also very educational.”
