Overview

Approximately 38 craft stalls from rural communities, ethnic groups and projects sell Namibian handicraft here, which range from jewellery to carved tree roots. We have the freshest Namibian food and best cheesecake and apple crumble in town! Our Craft Cafe is known all over the world for its stylish and excellent food. We support Namibian micro and small enterprises, and contribute to increase income through the sale of Namibian craft. Over 4,000 producers and their families derive an income from sales of their craft. We support Namibian design and product development, which is reflected in our large range of unique and quality products. We encourage the use of environmentally friendly products and sustainable utilization of Namibian natural resources. Vendors inside the Namibia Craft Centre may stock up to 5% of non-Namibian, but African handi-craft. No goods from outside the continent may be sold inside the Craft Centre. Some handi-craft and materials are hard to come by in Namibia, which is why we have made this concession. Staff should be able to tell you exactly the origin of most goods.

A must see by the tourist

This is a place to see for any tourist in visiting Windhoek. Almost everything available to either buy or see. The traditional craft collections are quite impressive. Good restaurants and bars with nice foods and drinks.

All handmade and local stuff- nice market atmoshpere inside though...which is good as it is superhot outside!Authentic.

It is in the middle of town and really a must go to get authentic presents for friends and family. It also supports the local community in general and utilizes an old brewery building- nice character.

A lovely craft market housed in the old Windhoek brewery.

I usually get disappointed and annoyed when I go to craft markets in Africa, nowdays. The vendors keep running after you and pressing you to buy which always ends up with me running out as quick as I can!! So, visiting the Namibia Craft Centre...More
