Otavi

A hidden gem found in Namibia's Otjozondjupa region, Otavi is a small farming town and peaceful gateway to the beautiful Otavi Mountainlands. As it offers a selection of cosy accommodation options, including bed and breakfasts, self-catering units, hotels, guest houses and camping facilities, the town serves as a convenient stopping point to nearby tourist attractions. Approximately 35 kilometres east of Otavi is the Ghaub Cave, a fascinating underground network of rock formations, calcified waterfalls, crystal clusters and 2.5 kilometres of channels, passageways, rocky halls and a glittering underground lake. Several kilometres past the cave is the famous Hoba Meteorite – the world's largest known meteorite found to date. For further exploration, Otavi's strategic position along the three-way intersection of the B1, B8 and the C39 ensures seamless access to the Etosha National Park, the Caprivi Strip, and the "Bushmenland".
