LIVING MUSEUMS

What is a living museum? It’s a place where traditions of minority groups are preserved and taught to the next generation. There are five living museums in Namibia: Ju/’Hoansi at Grashoek, Little Hunter’s north of Tsumkwe, Mafwe north of Kongola next to the Kwando River, Damara at the Aba-Huab River near Twyfelfontein and Mbunza outside Rundu. How much does it cost? At Grashoek we paid R120 per person to see the song-and-dance performance. Other activities vary between R150 – R260. You can even arrange for someone to come tell a fireside story at your campsite. Do you get value for money? Yes! Think about it like this: There are probably more rhinos left in the world than there are people who can make fire by rubbing sticks together. Go and meet these amazing people – it’s an enriching experience the whole family will enjoy. Where does the money go? Directly to the community. This helps to alleviate poverty.
