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.
