Itinéraire
La Christ Church (ou Christuskirche) est une église luthérienne située au centre de Windhoek. Elle est devenue l'un des monuments les plus emblématiques de la ville. Ici, vous aurez la chance de connaître l'histoire fascinante de cette église et, si le temps le permet, regardez à l'intérieur.
L'un des plus beaux jardins (et des plus verdoyants) de Windhoek se trouve à la base du Tintenpalast, le bâtiment du Parlement de la Namibie dans le centre-ville. Les jardins eux-mêmes abritent aujourd'hui 3 statues d'icônes qui ont contribué à l'obtention de l'indépendance de la Namibie. Ici, vous pouvez en apprendre plus sur ces importants Namibiens, ainsi que sur les processus politiques actuels qui façonnent la Namibie moderne.
Le Musée national de Namibie, récemment ajouté à la ligne d'horizon de la Namibie, abrite une riche collection d'objets allant de la Namibie coloniale à la modernité.
Cet ancien fort serait le tout premier bâtiment de Windhoek et a été utilisé par l'armée allemande pour défendre son emprise sur la ville. Plus récemment, il s'agissait d'un musée, mais il reste vide, mais sa riche histoire mérite tout de même une visite.
Explorez le canton de Katutura, visitez le marché local et rencontrez la population locale
Terminez la visite en faisant une halte à Penduka, un projet d'artisanat conçu pour élever et inspirer les femmes locales à subvenir à leurs besoins et à ceux de leurs familles. C'est aussi une excellente occasion d'acheter des souvenirs ou des cadeaux avant de rentrer chez vous.

.Excellent way to see the newer buildings of downtown Windhoek mixing new designs with repurposing of colonial era structures. We started at the oldest church in Windhoek and ventured to the old fort being turned into a museum. We saw the main train station and visited a community food market in Katutura where we tasted locally barbequed beef. It was so delicious we bought a small packet of the spices used on the meat. Our final stop was the Penduka women’s manufacturing initiative. Julio was an excellent guide and driver who provided interesting facts about his city and the history.
Excellent guided tour of Windhoek. Julio, the guide, narrated great facts about the history and status of Windhoek and Namibia. We stopped at major landmarks and neighborhoods, including the nice Oshetu local market where we tasted local delicacies.
Great tour by Julio!! He was very professional, passionate and well-informed. I’d recommend this tour to everyone who is interested in the city of Windhoek - it’s history, culture and politics.
We saw the main sights in Windhoek and learned a bit about them. We also drove through the slums - what an experience! And of course, it ended in Penduka. There isn't much more in Windhoek......
It was a two day tour to coastal area in Namibia.
You learn a lot about the history of Namibia and get to see a lot of amazing architecture, their history and how this history is preserved. The visit of Katutura was confronting on many levels but I was glad that it was part of the tour. What made this tour so recommendable was Julio, our guide. His knowledge was amazing and his passion for Namibia was palpable. I felt very fortunate to have had him as out guide
Our tour with Julio was one of the best city tours I ever had, and I had few in my life. We learned so much and Julio was as brilliant and full of energy and passion as possible. These four hours were absolutely fantastic and gave us. very good impression of all the aspects of Windhoek, ending in a very nice women empowerment project in Katatura. We had fun at the market with delicious beef strips and just a great time with Julio. Don‘t think twicw, this tour is a no-brainer. Perfect for departure day.
This tour is highly recommended for anyone looking for a concise yet insightful overview of Windhoek’s history. My colleagues and I found it incredibly informative, and Julio was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and always happy to answer our questions. A definite highlight was sampling local food at the Oshetu Community Market, which added an authentic and memorable touch to the experience. The tour also offers a well-balanced itinerary, taking you through the CBD as well as the townships, both of which are essential to understanding Windhoek’s rich and complex history. It was a pity we didn’t have time to go inside the museums, but this is completely understandable given that it’s a half-day tour and there is a lot to cover.
The tour was very good and informative. We gained a great insight into the history and the various neighborhoods. Our guide was also fantastic. Therefore, highly recommended.
Great tour in seeing all the main attractions in Windheok. For fair warning, you will see the more undeveloped parts but is totally safe!
