Really authentic local cooking session. People are super friendly and helpful. Absolute recommendation!
5A local cooking experience not to be missed!
This experience was so fun! Renee was so kind and welcoming and enthusiastic. She not only did a great job instructing us through cooking porridge, spinach, fish, pork knuckles and worms (!), but she was also so informative about Namibian culture and lifestyle. She was a pleasure to chat with and so genuinely interested in getting to know us and our culture better. Highly recommend for a truly local experience in a new restaurant that her and her sister are so proud of (rightfully!)
5Namibia cooking experience
I loved that the cooking was hands on. We all got to chop and stir while learning about the different meats and spices.
5Amazing cooking class with Ndeshi
I loved the experience. The driver Penda was super friendly and reliable. The cooking class with Ndeshi was amazing and super authentic. A real Namibian experience what stays in my heart forever. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!
5Excellent hands on cooking experience!
Amazing experience! Renee did a great job of explaining all the different ingredients and dishes we made. Everything was very well organized and clean. This is a hands on cooking experience and one I will remember. One of the highlights of my Namibia journey. Thank you!

About Windhoek
Windhoek is Namibia's compact capital on a high central plateau, with German colonial buildings, craft markets and wild country in every direction.
Windhoek lies about 1,650 metres above sea level in the middle of Namibia, ringed by hills and thorn bush. It began as a German colonial post in the 1890s, and the Christuskirche, a Lutheran church of 1910 in pale sandstone, and the Alte Feste, an old fort that is now a museum, recall that period. The Tintenpalast, the seat of parliament, stands in a garden, and Independence Avenue runs through the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Windhoek: Deadvlei, Etosha National Park, National Museum of Namibia.
