Namibia does not have many museums and this one (next to Swakopmund and nearby Grootfontein) is a must! This is a private initiative featuring history from the mineral-rich surrounding, cultural exhibits and exhibits from the colonial era (especially the German - South African conflict in the First World War..... Support them!

A craft center operated by a charitable trust selling folk art and crafts of the San as well as other people of Namibia. Wood and bead animal figures of all sizes, needlework, printed fabrics, bowls, jewelry and numerous other craftwork at extremely reasonable prices. A very friendly staff who allow you to shop without pressure The best selection of folk art and crafts that my wife and I found during our vacation in Namibia. A must for anyone who is interested in Namibian folk art.

4. Otjikoto Lake

A N$10 parking fee and ND$25 to enter.
This sink-hole caused by collapsing underground caves could be a major draw card for the area. Unfortunately there is no information about it at the site, besides one signboard informing you a a few artillery weapons and arms still in the lake.
Your best bet for information is to Google it.
Some one at some time did try to improve a visitors experience, but now the buildings are old, and the foot path around the sink-hole almost invisible and lost in the undergrowth.
Yes, it is worth it. For the price, maybe not at the moment. But if you do go, try get information beforehand so that walking around you can experience it better.
Wiki has an interesting short article on Otjikoto Lake.
