Our most prominent city tour takes you on a powerful journey through Windhoek’s history of colonialism, apartheid, and resistance. Starting at the Genocide Memorial and Alte Feste in the city centre, the tour moves through different moments in Namibian history, tracing the events, stories, and acts of resistance that shaped the country’s struggle for liberation and independence.
Explore the history of forced removals from Old Location, apartheid urban planning, the contract labour system, and the role of education under colonial rule. Along the way, discover the stories of the iconic figures, activists, freedom fighters, and communities who resisted oppression and fought for justice. The tour also includes a lunch stop at the famous Single Quarters, where you can enjoy traditional local street food and experience one of Windhoek’s most vibrant cultural spaces. Join us to uncover overlooked histories, follow the footsteps of Namibia’s freedom fighters, and discover the story behind the man Namibia’s international airport is named after.
