Wonderful immersion in Windhoek and Katatura Township - Our guide Raymond was incredibly knowledgeable, and we always felt safe under his guidance. His insights and careful attention made the experience both informative and comfortable for our entire family. This immersion was more than just a tour; it was an eye-opening experience that connected us to the heart of Namibia. By starting our journey this way, we gained a profound appreciation for the country and its people, making the rest of our adventure even more meaningful. Raymond family from 🇲🇺

Can definitely recommend! - My tour guide for the day was Shaka and it was a very nice tour. Got to see the different sides of the city and had great conversations with him. We went to the most popular sides but also saw local markets. It was well organized and I was picked up and drop out at my location.

First time in Namibia must do! - Shaka was my tour guide, and he was very conversational and made you feel comfortable the whole time. He also pulled no punches in talking honestly about Namibia's history and the current political climate. The tour was great, very eye opening, and the food was fantastic.

Great tour - The tour with Raymond our guide was informative. As a native of the township, he could provide us with local insight of life in Township. He enabled us to see another side of Namibia.

Lovely experience on The Windhoek City & Township Tour! - The Windhoek City & Township Tour was very enlightening and educational. Shaka was a great guide, he explained the Namibian history and taught us about the culture and how people live. I also enjoyed the Kapana! I'd highly reccommend the tour to anyone who finds themselves in Windhoek.
