Namibia, as they say is the land of contrasts, and having had first hand experience of this beautiful country, I can agree full heartedly. I visited Namibia in February 2006 with a group of fellow tourism associates, on a mission to learn about the 'Land of Contrasts'.

Situated in a wide valley Namibia’s capital is a small friendly city. German architecture and pavement cafes give it a European feel whilst the presence of vendors and street markets remind you that you are in Africa. Most visitors will find themselves passing through at some stage but if you do have a day to spare we can recommend a township tour in nearby Katutura. Our guides will show you this busy little suburb and you can enjoy a visit to the local market or a sheeben. It’s a great place to experience the different cultural groups of Namibia.
