Omaruru is the arts and lodging hub of the Erongo region, a charming historic town of jacaranda-lined streets, art galleries and craft studios set beneath the dramatic granite domes of the Erongo Mountains. It serves as an ideal base for exploring surrounding rock art sites, mountain hiking trails and community conservancies, while its relaxed atmosphere and boutique guesthouses offer a welcome pause between Etosha and the coast. The town's German colonial-era architecture, including the Franke Tower, adds further historical interest.
