4. Get a feel for how over half of Windhoek's population live whilst exploring the township area. Katutura itself is a hugely diverse area, and broken up into several areas which range in standard of living from large modern houses to shack dwellings. While it has a somber history from the apartheid regime, no visit to Windhoek is complete without exploring this now bustling area, including a stop at the local market.

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.
