Mariental

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 it possible to cultivate animal fodder, as well as some fruit and vegetable. A local ostrich abattoir caters for this increasingly important industry. Sitting astride the main routes into the Kalahari and Namib deserts, Mariental also services the needs of formers in these areas. Mariental is home to a large number of Nama-speaking people, descendants of the early Khoi inhabitants of Namibia.
