Townships in Namibia

Where less is more

With a cultural tour to townships such as Katutura (Windhoek) and Mondesa (Swakopmund) we aim to introduce you to people who make much out of little - with a lot of confidence of what they have archieved. Always starting over and over even if plans fail. In townships sufficient living space and employment seems rare. But wealth is rather measured in the ability to support one another and take care of the family, including extended family. People here are not only related by blood but by a common concern.

We gladly accompany you if you want to get to know Katutura and Mondesa. Our tours are very personal and not groomed for tourists. The owner and manageress of African Desk Elizabeth de Beer has relatives and friends in Mondesa (Swakopmund) She will make sure to conduct the township tour individually, offering the same respect for travellers and residents you would expect.

We would be pleased to personally escort you if you would like to visit Katutura oder Mondesa.
