Travel by minivan along the coastal road to Mondesa Township in Swakopmund. This unique cultural tour aims to immerse you in township life.
Mondesa was established in the early 1950s to provide housing for the Owambo, Damara and Herero people working in Swakopmund. Just a couple of miles from the center of Swakopmund, another world appears. This side of town is more African, more complex and, with the assistance of your specialist guide, will become much more personal.
In a township of poverty, unemployment and low-income families, employment opportunities and international relationships between the Mondesa Township community and travelers provides opportunities for growth, friendship, support and understanding between diverse cultures. All interaction with the community is carried out in a non-intrusive manner, respecting the inhabitants' privacy at all times.
You'll first learn some history, bridging the cultural gap through understanding, then see a demonstration of mahango preparation, taste some unusual food and enjoy some entertainment.
Please note:
Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Leave your valuables on board the ship. Wear comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen. Bring a hat. Vehicle size may vary.
