Keetmanshoop and the Quivertrees

by Myndo - last update: Dec 22, 2004

Quivertrees at Sunset
Keetmanshoop (the Hope of Keetman) is a small, not very remarkable village in the south of Namibia. It is a good place to stop over, fill up with gas, go shopping in the Spar, (yes, exactly like in Germany, right up to the folk music they play over the speakers..-I could have done without that.).

There is also a nice Cafe here, called "Uschis Kaffeestube" . It is mentioned in the travel books for good cake. I mentioned it more because it is also the name of my Mom...
Quiver tree
So Keetmanshope is nice, but not special.
What is special in this surrounding is the Quivertree forest (or the 2) close by. This is a "must see" if you come through here.

Further South is the famous Fish River Canyon.
