Rundu: Exploring Wildlife and Ethnic Groups
Rundu is the capital town of the region of Kavango-East, Namibia, which is known for its old houses in the Katutura area. This town has a magnificent open market and military base of the Namibian Defence Force. The means for transportation of most tourists is via Rundu Airport (NDU), which is approximately 3 miles from the center of the town. There are van rental services that can be used to guide tourists to the hotel and other tourist destinations of Rundu Namibia.
Best Time to Visit
Rundu is popular for its wildlife viewing, and this has to be done with a low chance of raining. The best months to visit Rundu is from July to October when the weather is pleasant and just above 20°C. The biggest festival, however, is scheduled every April called The Ngandu Music and Arts Festival, where Rundu residents got the chance to promote their products, foods, and talents.
What to Do & Area Attractions
This town may not be a party place, but a place where tourists can explore and appreciate nature. Walking along the Okavango River is one of the best explorations to see live hippos and crocodiles. For viewing the history and culture of Namibia, Mbunza Living Museum is the gateway to learn their local language and see the habits of different ethnic inhabitants. Shop at Khemo Open Market or the Rundo Open Market.
Another nature tripping is sunset viewing at the Kaisosi River Lodge, a hotel with a breathtaking view. A sunset boat cruise takes the guests to chase the sunset. This lodge also serves western food options.
