Daan Viljoen Game Reserve, Nature reserve in Khomas Region, Namibia.
The 40-square-kilometer reserve contains numerous plant species, animal populations, and marked walking paths across the Khomas Hochland hills near Windhoek.
The reserve opened in 1968 and received its name from Daniel Thomas du Plessis Viljoen, South African administrator of South West Africa from 1953 to 1963.
The African-style chalets in the reserve reflect traditional kraal architecture, integrating local building methods into the accommodation design.
The reserve welcomes visitors daily from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, offering both luxury self-catering camping facilities and private chalets with individual bathrooms.
The park houses 301 plant varieties, 200 bird species including Monteiro's Hornbill and Rosy-faced Lovebird, plus 30 mammal types such as Gemsbok and Mountain Zebra.
