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!
Very enlightening to see the best and worst of Windhoek.

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.
Honest tour of Windhoek

Great tour to get an understanding of the reality of living in Windhoek. We were briefed on the history of Windhoek then drove through the various neighborhoods that are part of Windhoek.

We 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.

A 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.

Shaka - our guide was excellent. Very informative and helpful. The highlights were the stop for the meat and pap snack and the tour of the township areas.
Fantastic Windhoek Tour!

I 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
Fantastic way to see the real Windhoek

Fantastic trip. Thanks to Saka, our tour guide for sharing this experience with us. Prompt pick up and very friendly service. Opened my eyes to the income disparity and struggles of these fantastic people.
Excellent City and Township Tour.
