Katutura Touwnship Experience

You will be picked up and dropped off at your accommodation within Windhoek. This +/- 3 hours tour starts at Schwerin’s castle where we will give you background information about the historic capital. From the viewpoint of Schwerin’s castle, you will have the opportunity to take amazing pictures of the valley of Windhoek. Thereafter we will proceed to the suburb of Katutura which is situated to the Northwest of Windhoek. Our tour takes us through the different areas of Katutura in order to get a good overview regarding the various housing styles.

Along the way we will visit the Penduka Women Project. Penduka means: Women wake up! And the Penduka Development Trust is a development and training social enterprise for locally less privileged women. Through training they can enter entrepreneurship or become part of Penduka`s production department and obtain an income through sales of exclusively handmade products or choose the hospitality side with restaurant, overnight and conference facilities. At the Penduka -Wake up! Shop you are welcome to buy a handcrafted item of your choice, but feel free just to look around. Shopping is not mandatory, but by purchasing a Penduka product you do not just have a beautiful and unique product for yourself, but you also contribute towards a better life for women in Namibia.
