3.Katutura Township and City Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 15 reviews · 3 hours · from $49

Spend three hours with an English-speaking guide, often James, moving from Windhoek landmarks to Katutura, local markets, Pepata restaurant, China Town, and Old Location. Expect history, township life, traditional food, and a private group, but check opening hours carefully if you plan to go on Sunday.

“James was an excellent host who clearly had a vast knowledge of Namibian history. I found it very interesting despite my extreme jet lag. I am only in Windhoek for a few hours and really wanted to see as much as I could in that time. This tour with James and the driver (apologies I forgot his name), certainly ticked the boxes.”
