A must do in Windhoek, Namibia - This 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!

San Bushmen Cultural Tour - France, my guide was very informative as well as the San Bushmen. This was an incredible opportunity to experience first hand. One of the best tours near Windhoek, Namibia; takes about 25 minutes from city center!

Authentic Bushwalk - A very authentic walk through a dry riverbed with lots of information about the plants and wildlife. We were also shown their daily life, which is so different from ours. The San spoke in their native language and the information was translated into English with the help of the tour guide. Thank you for a very interesting experience.

Cultural Immersion - The 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!

Very informative and interesting experience - Me 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;)

Great experience with the San bushman. 100%! - My son (12) and I thought this trip was really good Super interesting and also really well done. The young bushman talked about their traditional life, and told us how they used the different plants in the area; how they hunted, how they found water and lots of other interesting things. They showed us how to make fire and explained some aspects of their traditional life (the mini bow was funny, :-l)). They also showed us some traditional dances. They talked in their language (Which itself sounds amazing to a Western ear) with a bushman translator into English. It is a also a really project to help the guys make a business that helps preserve San traditions.
