Mondesa Guided Tour
The guide will pick you up from your hotel in Swakopmund at the scheduled time to begin the tour of the Mondesa neighbourhood. This suburb was designated for black citizens during the apartheid regime, with wealthier white populations dominating the city. Although racial segregation ended in 1991, traces of Mondesa's history remain evident.
The tour will involve walking through the streets of Mondesa, where you'll meet locals and sample their local delicacies. You may taste artisan beers and typical dishes such as mopane worms, a local specialty. Traditional snacks will also be provided to enhance your cultural immersion.
Engaging with the locals will give insight into African culture and history. You will learn some words in the local language, khoe-khoe, and understand the significance of the term Ubuntu and its relevance in Africa.
