Omaruru

Omaruru is a city in the Erongo region of Namibia near Mount Erongo and the usually dry Omaruru river. This town has 14,000 residents and is spread over 352 square kilometres of land. The town gets its name from the cattle that used to browse on the local bushes and turn the milk bitter, which in the local Otjiharero language translates to Omaruru. The annual festival in which past chiefs of Omaruru are celebrated, the winery and the dinosaur footprints have made this town a popular destination amongst travellers.
