We did the Nam Flava City and Township tour with Raymond and loved it! We were collected in the cool VW camper-bus on time. Raymond was a knowledgable and engaging guide - he made the history come to life! We visited the main city sights first (Christus Kirche, museum, craft market, Parliment Gardens). He lives in the township area so gave us insider info and knowledge. We went to the Oshetu Community (Kapana) market in Katutura to see the locals making kapana and had it freshly cooked for us with pap, bread, and salsa (really good!). We drove through the formal and informal township areas (and felt very safe) and ended the tour with a visit to the Penduka Womens project craft centre. We were then delivered back to our hotel with Namibian music playing! Highly recommended!Yes Yes!

I was lucky. It was only me! There were approximately 12 Khoisan. 3 of the men took me for a walk through the bush. I learned about medicinal plants. Water filled roots. Wild bush potatoes. I learned about how they make the poison for their weapons. Rain started. They built me a fire in one of their hits. It was AMAZING!
