Welcome to Windhoek

The charm of the City of Windhoek lies

in its harmonious blend of African and

European cultures and the friendliness

of its people. Since Independence came

to the country on 21 March 1990, it has

been characterised by a vitality born of a

sense of freedom and pride in self.

Windhoek is often described as one of the

cleanest capitals in Africa and visitors are

surprised that this city, considered to be

part of deepest Africa, offers all modern

amenities that conform to some of the

world’s highest standards. These include

hotels, banks, post offices, gyms, libraries,

museums, car hire companies, health

facilities, railway transport, airlines and

estate agencies amongst others.

We visit the Christ Church, a historic landmark that was built following the wars between the Germans, Khoikhoi,

Herero and Owambo.

The tour continues to The Ink Palace (Tintenpalast), currently the seat of the National Assembly and Parliament Gardens,

containing Namibia’s first post-independence monument, a bronze statue of the Herero Chief Hosea Kutako. We visit the Rider

Memorial, a controversial monument that honours the soldiers and civilians who died on the German side in the Herero and

Namaqua War, as well as the Railway Station, built in a Cape Dutch style, and the Old Fort, designed to serve as headquarters

of the imperial German Schutztruppe during the German colonization of South-West Africa.

TOURTOWNSHIP

Township Tour for 3 Hours (10h00 or 14h30) Minimum 4 Pax. (Free pick-up at Hotel) @ N$350.00 p/p

Drive out to Katutura Township. Created in the late

1950s as an apartheid township. However, before

Katutura was developed, most black Namibians

lived in a location west of Windhoek in the area

now known as Hochland Park.

There was great opposition to the move. These

objections were both practical and ideological. The

original Katutura was much smaller than the Katutura

that exists today. Windhoek’s total population is

currently around 350 000 people, about 60% of these

people live in Katutura. There are many suburbs

of Katutura with poignant names such as Soweto,

Havana, Babylon and Wanaheda. The tour itself last

around 3 hours and is very informative, amongst other

places it visits the Penduka Women’s Centre. Penduka

is a non-governmental development organisation

working with women in Namibia. In the Oshiwambo

and Otjiherero languages the word Penduka means

“Wake Up!” Through this program they encourage

and support women throughout the country to take

charge of their lives. Enjoy African delicacies at a

local open market including kapana (braai meat)

,Omagungu (mopane worms), Oofukwa (ground

nuts) and Onyandi, Oombe and Ondunga (wild fruits

and berries).

Welcome to Swakopmund

Sandwiched between Atlantic rollers and

the Namib Desert, Swakopmund is one of

those great traveller way stations along the

African road. At once Namibia’s adventure

capital and a surreal colonial remnant, part

destination in its own right and part launch

pad for an exploration of the Skeleton Coast

and Namib Desert, this is a city with as much

personality as it has sea frontage.

Its half-timbered German architecture, seaside

promenades and pervasive Gemütlichkeit (a

distinctively German appreciation of comfort

and hospitality), Swakopmund, especially

out of season, can feel like a holiday town

along Germany’s North Sea and Baltic coasts

transplanted onto African soil. But the city is also

thoroughly African and its multidimensional

appeal means that most people end up staying

longer than they planned.

dunes run straight into the ocean, creating breathtaking sceneries
