5.00Our guide Linda is very kind and has a great knowledge about the history of Namibia. Very interesting to get a look at the origins of the republic and the different population groups. The tour in Katutura gave a good insight into the way of life and was, especially in the slums, quite a swallow.....
You must have done it when you're in Windhoek.

5.00I am very glad that my daughter and I did this tour! We got great impressions of Windhoek. Our guide, Linda, told us a lot about the history of Windhoek. The tour through the poor district impressed me the most.

5.00It was a very interesting trip with Linda to the township area. She showed us a lot, they understood her very well and it was really nice in general. Clear recommendation for anyone who wants to experience the real life of the local people.
Interesting although devastating tour.

5.00Picked promptly on time by Linda who then proceeded to ask if I had any particular points of interest to see. She then gave me a highly educated historical tour of Windhoek, important monuments etc. We then continued onto Katutura chatting constantly in the car. We stopped to give some clothes I no longer needed to those who needed some. The sheer enormity of the settlement is astonishing, the people living here are only just surviving. Totally corrupt governments have done nothing to help. After this we ate a meal at Single Quarters which was highly enjoyable. Linda was a kind professional lady throughout. I’d highly recommend the tour.
Wonderful Katutura trip

5.00Linda was such a wonderful guide and she showed us around the real day to day life in Windhoek’s township of Katutura. Make sure you try Kapana, the meat was on point!
Amazing tour to Katukura with Linda

5.00Our guide Linda was absolutely amazing, and we recommend her and the entire tour 100%! She shared so much knowledge with us (about the past and the present) and took us to all the most interesting and significant historical sites. We ended the tour at the vibrant market in Katukura for lunch, which was a unique experience itself. As vegetarians, we especially enjoyed trying the delicious salsa served with fresh bread—definitely a must-try! Linda’s friendly, attentive and professional guidance made the day both educational and enjoyable from start to finish. Thanks a lot, it was a pleasure meeting you!

5.00Hello everyone! We enjoyed an interesting experience with our guide Jackson inside the township of Windhoek and Katatura! We visited the city centre and had a look of CBD department. We moved to Katatura where we visited the local market and had a taste of the tipical meal (beef, salsa and porridge). Then Jackson drove us through the silver city allowing us to experience the place and the people. Don't miss the opportunity while you pass in Windhoek!
