Best of Namibia

This 3 hour tour will give you an overview of modern day Windhoek while you get to know

the comprehensive history of Windhoek and Namibia from colonial era to today.

We visit the Christ Church, Ink Palace, Parliament Gardens, and the Old Fort.

From the city centre we then drive to the Katutura Township.

Katatura is Windhoek’s informal settlement and estimated to be home to more than two

thirds of Windhoek’s 325,000 people. The township is a vibrant and exciting place to visit and

a great chance to get a bit of insight into some of the more traditional Namibian cultures.

Bus? We have partnered with the well-known Namibian musician known as EES to give you
the Namibian experience of a lifetime.

This unique City Tour through the Capital of Namibia will take you back in time by revealing

the history and inside stories behind individual houses, interesting places and monuments –

knowledge that is not found in the travel guides.

It is this detailed knowledge that breathes life into the story of Windhoek’s development, it’s

three castles, the ‘Tintenpalast’ and the ‘Alte Feste’.

The 37 000-hectare (91 429-acre) private Kulala Wilderness Reserve offers visitors exclusive wildlife-viewing opportunities, which include the likes of gemsbok (oryx), bat-eared fox, brown hyena and birdlife. A highlight is a coffee or sundowner stop in the exceptionally scenic reserve.
