• Windhoek - The Christuskirche (Christ Church) in Windhoek, Namibia, stands as one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Perched on a hill in the heart of Windhoek, it is prominently visible near the Parliament Gardens and Tintenpalast. The church showcases a striking blend of European design influences and local materials. Constructed in 1907 after the end of hostilities between German colonists and local communities, it serves not only as a religious site but also as a symbol of Windhoek’s history and a popular tourist attraction.

• Alte Feste - This is the oldest surviving building in Windhoek, originally designed by Major Kurt von François. The fort underwent several redesigns, and its final version took 25 years to complete. Despite the significant investment of time, effort, and money, the fortress never saw any military action.

• Tintenpalast - Built by Imperial Germany in 1913 to house the colonial administration, the building was controversial even then, as it was constructed using the forced labor of the Herero and Nama people. Tintenpalast also features a small but beautiful garden area. Open to the public, these well-laid-out and shady gardens are popular with both locals and visitors and are well worth a visit. Within the gardens, there are three bronze statues of significant historical interest.

• Single Quarters, Windhoek - This area once housed barrack-like cells and dormitories for men who came from the regions to work in Windhoek, leaving their families behind. Only men were allowed to live in this squalid area. However, the disliked accommodation and its name are now gone. The area is officially called Oshetu Community, an Oshiwambo expression meaning ‘this is our community,’ and it now hosts one of the most vibrant markets in Namibia, particularly famous for Kapana.

Kapana consists of small pieces of freshly shredded beef cooked on a grill with various spices such as chili and salt. It is served with a sauce made of chopped onion and tomatoes, enhancing the flavor and freshness of the meat.

• Penduka Village - From Oshetu, the journey continues through the colorful and bustling streets to the community projects center at Penduka. Penduka means “Wake Up,” a fitting name as the Penduka people describe their project as “a social enterprise and training center for local, less privileged women in Namibia.” Visitors have the opportunity to interact and engage with the Penduka women, learn about their diverse projects, and browse the many varied items for sale in their shop. From Penduka, the tour returns to Windhoek City Centre, with drop-offs available at accommodations within the city limits.
