Itinerario
La nostra prima tappa è la Christuskirche, il punto di riferimento più riconoscibile di Windhoek. Dai un'occhiata all'interno (se è aperto) e scopri questa chiesa dal design unico nel centro della città.
La nostra prossima tappa è Parliament Gardens, così chiamata per la sua vicinanza al Parlamento. Qui apprendiamo tutto sulla ricca storia della Namibia e sulle persone che hanno combattuto per l'indipendenza della Namibia.
Qui arriviamo a conoscere il dottor Sam Nujoma, padre fondatore della Namibia, e la lotta per l'indipendenza della Namibia, nonché dove siamo attualmente, circa 20 anni dopo l'indipendenza.
Ulteriori informazioni sulla storia della Namibia compreso il ruolo dei tedeschi e dei sudafricani pre indipendenza.
Dalla città di Windhoek, ci dirigiamo verso il municipio di Katutura per scoprire come vivono oltre il 50% dei residenti di Windhoek. La stessa Katutura è un'enorme area e comprende tutti i diversi sobborghi di tutti i diversi livelli socio-economici.
Esplora il mercato locale e prova alcune delacacies locali da Kapana (carne di barbecue) a vermi di Mopane, a pap e altro ancora.
La nostra ultima tappa è Penduka, un meraviglioso progetto per le donne creato per offrire opportunità di lavoro alle donne. Esplora il loro laboratorio e scopri come realizzano bellissime curiosità locali da tessuti in stile batik a ricami e altro ancora.

With his enormous historical knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality, Simon let us experience the center and the township in a special way. From local specialties at the market to the Penduka project: everything was perfect. Kind, safe, social and incredibly friendly — an absolute top guide and a real recommendation!

What a great tour! Gregory was amazing, and really gave a great outline of Windhoek. Great way to start my trip to Namibia.
Hi Shane, Thank you for your review. We are glad Gregory gave you such a strong first look at Windhoek. He will be pleased to hear this. Starting the Namibia trip with a clear, well-guided city and township tour is exactly what we hope that morning does. Kind regards, Gavin
Three-hour trip with a city tour. The city itself does not have much to offer, but the guide was very thorough. The most interesting part of the local market is the Township.
Hi Maurizio, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are glad to hear that you found the tour informative and that your guide gave you a thorough introduction to Windhoek. Windhoek is a smaller and quieter capital city compared to many others, but we are happy that the local market and township visit stood out as the most interesting parts of the experience. These stops often give travellers a more meaningful look into daily life, local culture, and the history of the city. Thank you again for joining our Half-Day Windhoek City and Township Cultural Tour. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Namibia. Kind regards, Gavin

We were amazed at how much we saw and experienced on this tour. Each place was brief (some a bit longer) but it gave a good taste of Windhoek and the Township. Highly recommend!

Visited to main buildings in Windhoek from colonial times through to modern. Then visit to township created during apartheid and a local food market. Then to informal settlement which houses 300000 people in tough conditions. Lastly visit to women's craft cooperative. Michael was very informative.
