Our guide Linda was fun and knowledgeable, we learned a lot. I recommend her highly. I am sorry that I miscalculated and didn't give her enough tip.

This was a great way to spend a morning in Windhoek. Without a guide there is not a lot to see in Windhoek and getting away from the city centre is worthwhile. As the only person on the tour we went at my pace and had time to enjoy
