As frontier town, Rundu is set to become the hub of trade and development in the north, especially with rebuilding efforts in Angola and the Trans-caprivi highway that links the country and its main port in Walvis Bay to the rest of Africa. With its diverse cultures and people, comes the skills and talents to develop Rundu into a dynamic commercial centre.

Things to see in Rundu include a visit to the Mbangura Wood Carving’s Co-operation which is part of a Government Development Scheme. This scheme markets traditional drums and lovely hand made furniture.
