Namibia: History & Culture

Namibia may have only achieved independence in 1990 but that doesn't mean the country lacks a rich and fascinating cultural and historical heritage. Some of the world's oldest rock art is found in the north - the Brandberg, Twyfelfontein and Erongo areas. The Himba tribe of the far north Kunene Region still proudly cling to their traditional ways and San bushmen still hunt in the Kalahari.

A more modern history is reflected in the colonial German architecture of Swakopmund and the forgotten ghost towns of Kolmanskop. A keen student of history would be wise to do a little reading up on Namibia's history as the consequences of colonialisation and the freedom struggle are still very much evident today.
