    Personal highlights

    1. Museum: from indigenous bushmen to colonial powers and independence
    2. Exhibition: equally impressive collection like Das Alte Fort in Grootfontein
    3. German West Africainfo-icon: German colony only for a brief period of time (1884-1919)
    4. Namibiainfo-icon: home of many German immigrants, you still hear German in the streets
    5. Lake Otjiko: deep lake nearby, where the Germans sank their canons (missed)
