★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 13 reviews · 4 hours · from $160

Bike through Mondesa Township from Walvis Bay, visit school, market and arts center, then cook and eat with a local family in Namibia.

“For anyone booking this tour that thinks it starts at a pick up point in Walvis Bay...please think again, it does not. We had this tour booked months in advance and our pick up point was in Walvis Bay, all good one would think. One day before the tour the pick up time changed from 9am to 2:30pm, bit strange I thought but ok, maybe couldn't find a guide for the morning session. Then 1 hour before the pick up time I go back to check that things haven't changed, only to find out it was now a 9:30pm pick up, very strange, the alarm bells were ringing very loud…”

“De dingen die we gezien hebben waren indrukwekkend en interessante feiten gehoord. Helaas was de organisatie zeer gebrekkig, laatste moment kregen we te horen dat de tour om 10 uur zou beginnen ipv 8 uur maar ondanks dat was het toch om 12 uur afgelopen?! Met andere woorden een halve tour voor het volle bedrag.”

“My guide did a great job of presenting the township history and culture and was attuned to me as a client. Tour was rushed tho as they did their advertised 5 hour tour in 3 hours and picked me up several hours late so they squeezed in an extra tour that day. Put profit ahead of client care”
