Daan Viljoen Game Park is considered as Windhoek's Zoo, however, since Haven Zoological Park was founded, Windhoek has its own zoo in the city. Daan Viljoen is a nearly 40 sqkm (4,000 ha) large state-owned game reserve on the C28 just about 20 kms from Windhoek. In 2009 an extenstive renovation programme started and the whole rest camp area was reopened in early 2012. The park is a very popular weekend spot for the Windhoeker. Since 2008 the park is leased to the private concessionaries "Sun Karros Lifestyle Safaris" for 60 years.
Daan Viljoen was proclaimed by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism in 1962 to preserve some of the most beautiful Khomas Hochland (Highland) landscape and the local wildlife. Besides driving through the park, it gives the opportunity to walk on two marked trails.
