Mariental Namibia

Mariental - Southern Namibia
Mariental is a small, quietly flourishing market town in the heart of southern Namibia and is the administrative centre of the Hardap Region. The nearby Hardap Dam is the largest reservoir in Namibia and provides water for irrigation, making possible to cultivate animal fodder, as well as some fruits and vegetables. A local ostrich abattoir caters for this increasingly important industry, and what survives of the karakul trade in the south is centered around Mariental. Sitting astride the main router into the Kalahari and Namib Deserts, Mariental also services the needs of farmers in these areas. Despite Mariental's quiet success, it is not the most exciting place in Namibia and is windswept an dusty in spring and autumn, ferociously hot in summer and bitterly cold in winter. Mariental is home to a large number of Nama-speaking people, descendants of the early Khoi inhabitant of Namibia.
