Key facts on the topic

Landscape and regional everyday life

For a trip that aims not only to collect individual sights but also to understand the character of a region, this landscape is the most important starting point. Small-scale mahangu cultivation and livestock farming are among the defining agricultural activities in Ohangwena. This combination of landscape, cultivation and livestock farming also gives the region a cultural and everyday-life context.

Choosing the right location for your trip

In the accommodation search, you can choose between a holiday apartment, holiday home and hotel. The desired location is the initial deciding factor; then compare the specific offers in the category that suits your travel plans.
