カトゥーラ - クラシック タウンシップ エクスペリエンス

I am very happy I did this tour. I wanted to see and learn more of the townships in Windhoek. I’ve heard a lot of great things about guide Linda and she was my guide too. Very friendly, knowledgable she did a great job. A good way to learn about the city’s history and life in the townships. You are mostly in the car. A township tour I did in South Africa was on foot but that was a much smaller township so I understand why this one was by car. Visiting the market was interesting and the Kapana was very nice!!

An impressive experience. We drove through Katutura by car. Many people live here in sometimes very basic conditions. Then we drove to Penduka, a women's organization for women. Powerful! Finally, there was Kapana. Not just any Kapana, the best! Everything very interesting. And Ketu, our guide, was friendly and it was nice to talk with him.

An absolutely unforgettable tour! Linda introduced us to Katutura in such an honest, respectful, and fascinating way. Her local perspective and deep knowledge made this excursion a highlight of our Namibia trip. She showed us places that one would never have seen as a tourist on their own, and at the same time gave us a deep insight into the everyday life and the realities of the people there. Anyone who really wants to understand Katutura is in the best hands with Linda. Thank you very much for this enriching experience! 5/5 stars

This was such an extraordinary experience. We were picked up by our guide and driver. Both were so warm and friendly and lived in Katutura. We had a mini-tour of downtown Windhoek (it's a pretty mini-downtown) with a lot of history, then headed over to Katutura and wrapped up with incredible barbecued meats at the kapana there -- a big, communal experience. What made this experience extraordinary and a crucial foundation for our trip is that our guide was willing to tell us about his own family history, life under South African occupation, and life in the 1990s as Namibia was beginning its life as an independent nation. We are so grateful for his openness and honesty.

Great tour to better understand the country and its people. History and current aspects were well connected and explained briefly and understandably. Our children learned more on the tour than they did in school. Linda always shared very exciting and interesting aspects and was able to answer every question.

Linda first led us through the history of Windhoek and then accompanied us into the heart of Katutura. A truly touching experience; meeting some of the township's inhabitants who, despite the truly difficult living conditions and poverty, showed moving warmth and hospitality. The tour ended with a stop at the Oshetu Community Market where we had lunch enjoying traditional kapana accompanied by millet pap. Infinite thanks to Linda for this unforgettable experience

Absolutely terrible: 1. The guides’ English was poor and all 1,5 hours of our trip he was almost silent or could hardly answer our questions 2. Guide was not aware about our tour??? He supposed that the market in katatura is the only point. When we tried to show him initial intenary where market was only one hour of 3 to 4 of the entire tour he was really surprised and unprepared 3. He could not show us anything else in Katutura and nothing at all in Wanaheda (1 hour in description) 4. He struggled to get us to Pioneer Park (several times taking wrong directions) but the guide failed to give us any reasonable info about the place which was closed when we finally arrived. We lost 2 hours of our holidays and some money ( which were not refunded) for this disgusting experience. Don’t repeat our mistake and better use other company

What a wonderful and insightful tour by a local. Linda was our guide - friendly, bright and a joy to be around. Highly recommend to see another part of Windhoek that you may not in Katutura but an important part of history.

I would highly recommend this trip for any westerners looking to experience Namibia authentically. Uushona was an absolutely great guide who showed me places that I definitely would not had gone if not for this tour and he really made me feel welcome in his home town. His knowledge of the area and his connections here made the tour truly one of a kind.

Fantastic guide. She was very knowledgable and friendly.
