    The Living Museum of the Damara near Twyfelfontein is the first traditional Damara project in Namibia and the only one of its kind. Nowhere else do you have the opportunity to learn about the traditional culture of the Damara in this way.

    The Living Museum of the DamaraTogether with the Bushmen, the Damara are considered the "original inhabitants" of Namibia. Their original, centuries-old culture was a mixture of archaic hunter-gatherer culture and the breeding of cattle, goats and sheep. During the colonization of Namibia, the Damara were never really able to oppose aggressors due to their loose tribal structures. This is also one of the reasons why their culture has almost been completely forgotten today.

    The visit is highly recommended
