Oshakati — Capital of the North & Trans-Border Trade Hub

The largest town in the Oshana Region and the acknowledged commercial capital of Namibia’s north — a sprawling, energetic city of 35,000+ that serves as the hub of trans-border trade with Angola. Full services: airport, major supermarkets (Checkers, Pick n Pay), hospitals, banks, fuel stations and vehicle services. Oshakati is strategically positioned at the heart of the densely populated Cuvelai-Etosha Basin floodplain — the landscape of interlinking shallow pans (oshanas) that flood dramatically every rainy season and transform the flat northern bush into a shimmering wetland.
