About The Venue
The Windhoek Country Club Resort in Windhoek, Namibia, will host the African Regional IAEG Conference, offering modern facilities and warm African hospitality.
The 4-star Windhoek Country Club Resort is situated on the outskirts of Windhoek and therefore only a 5 minute drive from any business meeting or cultural shopping experience. Bordering on a championship 18-hole golf course, this luxurious hotel is every golf enthusiast’s dream.
Namibia
Many visitors to Namibia start their adventure in Windhoek, the capital and largest city of this South African country. Nama, Herero, German, Afrikaans, and British cultures have influenced the growth and development of Windhoek. Visit the statue of Hosea Kutako, a nationalist hero, in the gardens surrounding the Tintenpalast, the seat of the Namibian legislature, or chow down on ostrich kebab or zebra steak at Joe’s Beerhouse before leaving on a safari into the Namibian wilderness.
