Penduka Village & Windhoek

On our way out of Etosha National Park today we saw a hyena. He was limping and our guide suspected it was the result of a kick from a zebra. Guess I won’t get to close to a zebra real soon. We stopped for lunch at Penduka Village Restaurant & Shop. Penduka, which means wake up, is another G adventures Planeterra project. This project trains and employs women disadvantaged through poverty, disability, ill-health, or lack of education, empowering them to develop skills in textiles, beading and pottery. There are accommodations for rental as well as a restaurant and gift shop. Today a wedding reception was happening on site. We had a most interesting tour and continued on to Windhoek where we said goodbye to Colin and met our new travel mates, Christine, Laura, Dionne and Rodney. I’m happy to have some female company for the next leg of the trip.Read more
