Private Guided Walking Tour with the San in Windhoek
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
These San are the only Bushmen in Windhoek who share their ancient knowledge of the traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle. This guided tour will take you on a delightful two-hour walk, featuring a variety of stops to enrich your experience. It is designed to be easy and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. You will learn about the ancient wisdom of bush plants and how the San people use them for different purposes. Also, you will get an introduction into their Click-language, and they will show you how to read animal tracks. You will watch them making fire in a traditional way and they will dance for you. Learn how to make jewelleries out of the shell of ostrich eggs and get a better comprehension about their current life situation in Namibia. Through this activity the culture of the San can remain alive, and the younger generations can acquire nearly forgotten skills. The income from these activities provides the impoverished San with an opportunity to sustain themselves.

5.00This was a unique and fascinating experience. I highly recommend anyone visiting Windhoek to take this tour, you will learn so much about the native in inhabitants of the San People. This was unique because due to certain factors, this is the last generation that has a direct connections with their elders and traditions/customs. I recommend all to visit and help support and learn what may become a lost culture. Its a unique experience that will open you up to the heart of Namibia!

5.00The San are very warm and welcoming people. They take you through the bush and show you how they use specific plants for medicinal and practical purposes. The interpreter does a great job of handling questions and explaining what is being said. Wonderful experience!

5.00Me and my colleagues enjoyed the experience with the San and I found it very interesting to learn of the various skills needed to survive in the bush. The way the explanations and demonstrations were done was quite engaging:) Thank you once again! Also, if there was a full-day tour with hands-on workshops (crafts, firemaking, building traps, traditional foods etc) available I would be very interested to join;)
