“The guide 'Petreus' was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Windhoek. We had a very enjoyable time especially visiting the market in Katutura where we enjoyed sampling "kapana" - marinated and grilled meat served with tomato salsa and fat cakes.”

Yet the program included visits to several museums and monuments : independence museum, parliament of Namibian republic (Tintenpalast) Art center of Windhoek, Chinatown, Rural park of Okahandja, Christuskirche, all were closed.

He took us to the township but mostly to visit his friends and family members where we didnot feel comfortable staying. Afterwards he brought us…”

“Guide and driver were really nice and knowledgeable. There was some confusion over the itinerary but cleared up after our first stop. The van was blowing hot air which was uncomfortable so we opened the windows. Not all opened but we were able to make it work.”
