2.00You don't need a tour for that. Just take a taxi and go there. Not so much to do or to see. A local market.

5.00Our guide Linda is very kind and has a great knowledge about the history of Namibia. Very interesting to get a look at the origins of the republic and the different population groups. The tour in Katutura gave a good insight into the way of life and was, especially in the slums, quite a swallow.....
You must have done it when you're in Windhoek.
