Why visit township in Namibia?
Language
It is a great way to learn a new language or to practice a Namibian local language that you are already learning. You might just receive a crash course on how to say hello in Afrikaans, Oshiwambo, Otjiherero or Damara / Nama.
Food
As Namibia is a melting pot of cultures, it allows for the sampling of various unique cuisines, and townships are the perfect place to discover this.
In addition, exploring new cuisines makes for the perfect opportunity to learn about the local culture and to value that which makes us all unique.
If you would like to get a taste of local cuisine in Namibia, here are a few places you could explore in townships:
Hafeni Traditional Restaurant
Oshetu Community Market (Single Quarters)
Soweto Market
Xwama Cultural Village & Restaurant
Culture
You will definitely experience culture in a township, as it is often exceptionally portrayed through their traditional attire as they maneuver through the local markets to run their errands, as well as through traditional delicacies, customs and their way of life.
As you discover Namibia, I hope you add a township tour or two to your journey, in order to be charmed and simultaneously expand your perspective too.
So, come and enjoy life in the slow lane.
