Wouldn’t it be great if tourists, who have had a wonderful time in Namibia, had something really entertaining to do rather than find their way around Windhoek to get the required COVID tests then sit around anxiously awaiting the results before they can travel home.
Now, Rennies Travel Namibia has come up with an innovative idea – a city tour of Windhoek that is combined with a COVID test and also helps to kill time.
The company offers a two-and-a-half-hour city tour plus a PCR test for NAD1 240 (€70) per adult and NAD1 100 (€62) per child under 12 years. For a tour incorporating an antigen test (for specific countries only), the charge is NAD790 (€44) per adult and NAD650 (€37) per child under 12 years.
Highlights of the Windhoek tour are: Christuskirche (the historic German Lutheran Church completed in 1910), the National Museum, Parliament Gardens, Alte Feste (the Old Fort built to house German colonial troops at the end of the 19thC), the Railway Station (built in 1912 and housing a small museum and historic photographs), Katutura Township (Katutura means ‘the place where people do not want to live’ in Otjiherero, and was the site of a forced resettlement of people, and resistance, in 1961), and Oshetu Market (famous for the fire-roasted beef – ‘kapana’ of the vendors, along with local music and good vibes).
