Going to Omungunda Camp

Kunene Region a 4x4 is
recommended, especially in the rainy season from December to April.

Support and donations
How can I support the Living Museums?
You can either support the Living Museums directly or help
the Living Culture Foundation Namibia with a donation
Should I give donations to the people in the Living Museums?
You supported the people while supporting their local business, the Living
Museum. If you want to help the actors of the Living Museum or the local
villagers even more, you have two good ways of doing that:
You can buy beautiful crafts and souvenirs in the craft shop of the Living
Museum to support the whole community (even the people who are not part of the
Living Museum).
If you want to give some things and support even more, best practice is to
trade those things with local crafts as well. Valuable goods are pens, books,
blankets, clothing or shoes.
Should I give sweets or presents to the children of the Museums actors?
Please think before giving sweets to the children. The next dentist is far
away! If you want to give more valuable presents like books, pens, balls,
please consider giving them to the manager or the guide of the Living Museums
and not to the children directly.
