I put this question on the safari section, but then thought it might go better here. I'll be in Windhoek for two days before going out on safari. Are there any stores not to be missed?

Holtz are the biggest on safari clothes and items i think.

Rosenthal's in Windhoek is the oldest and best known gun shop. Very Germanic, they only stock the top names. Just outside town in a light industrial area is Ahren's, which is in the process of expanding.

Went to Holtz last year, it seems like I remember another store of like kind in Windhoek. Maybe I'm just seeing the early stages of a senior moment.

At Rosenthal's be prepared for high dollar prices. After my luggage was lost three years ago my PH took me there to buy .300WSM ammo, 40 rounds cost me $160.00 USD.
