A Wow experience with the San - We had the most incredible experience on our walk with the San people. The san young men shared with us the rich history and traditions of their community. From learning about the medicinal properties of the local plants to understanding the intricate tracking methods used for hunting, every moment was fascinating. What struck us most was the deep connection the San people have with nature and their land. The walk itself was leisurely and scenic, taking us through stunning landscapes and offering breathtaking views. If you're looking for a genuine and enriching cultural experience, look no further. This walk with the San people is a must-do. At the end we could ask the san young men all about their way of life in the village that they grew up in and how they managed to preserve living in the ancient way. *Tips:* - Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sun protection - Ask questions and engage with the san young men via the guide (translator )to get the most out of the experience. They are more than happy to answer all questions.

Highly recommend - The tour guide was exceptional and the San were very welcoming. Very insightful view into the lives of the San. I would, however, recommend management to set up a kiosk/stall with refreshments..

Great guided walking tour with young men from the San community - Highly recommend the tour! We went with a group of colleagues from different countries (West/Central Africa and Europe) and we found it to be highly interesting and impressive to learn so much about a culture in such a short time. With the help of the tour guide, we were able to ask questions and engage in a conversation with the young San men. It is also really close to Windhoek, which meant that we could do this as an afternoon trip. A big thank you also to Nicole for the fast - and very friendly - contact right after I placed the booking!

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.
