5.00This morning tour is recommended if you have limited time in Windhoek and are interested in learning more about the history of Namibia and visiting Katutura (the place nobody wants) township. Shaka was informative and helpful. It felt like a private tour! Thank you.

5.00Visited 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.

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Shaka. He was very informative, knowledgeable and affable. He drove us through parts of the Township that were off the beaten path. He delighted in telling us about the history and culture of Namibia.

4.00A good and safe tour to get an insight into the "life" of Windhoek. Competent guide who explained a lot of information about the history of Namibia.
Well worth a half day.

5.00I learned so much about the people of Windhoek and the rich culture of the Namibian people on this tour. The experience in the township was especially eye-opening — it offered a genuine glimpse into everyday life, community spirit, and resilience. I also appreciated the opportunity to learn about Namibian history, from its pre-colonial roots to its path to independence. This tour offered more than just a surface-level view — it was a deeply meaningful cultural experience that left me with a greater appreciation for the country and its people
