The riverside town of Rundu, on the banks of the Okavango River, is situated in Kavango, the home of Namibia's well-known Kavango woodcarvers.
It's close to the Popa Falls and the Mahangu Game Reserve. Because of this unique location and the distances to get to these areas, it's a good stopover place.
Local woodcarvers market
The town has a few choices for eating out as well as a tourism center, a bank, fuel station, supermarket, post office and a woodcarvers market. They are also the suppliers for the craft market outside Okahandja, which you may well pass on your trip to or from Windhoek.
Although not the most interesting of towns, the area around it holds a few good lodges that offer good game viewing and comfortable accommodation. This is usually a stop to break the journey toward or from the lodges closer to the attraction areas. We do recommend stopping here to re-fuel as there isn't fuel after Rundu until Katima Mulilo.
