The Village seeks to document and preserve the heritage and culture of the Ovaherero People.
On arrival, friendly guides will usher you into their heritage passed through generational oral story telling, taking you on a interactive guided tour of the village, entering houses showing how the Ovaherero people live, collect and prepare food, their perfumes and costumes.
The guides will explain different facets of the Ovaherero people including their belief system and customs, initiation ceremonies, marriage, economic system, construction of houses. Guests are encouraged to touch, feel and taste during the tour, as well as ask questions to the villagers and guides.
The tour then moves to the Museum, which boasts permanent exhibitions of cultural artifacts, history and statues.
The tour is rounded off by a visit to the curio shop, after which guests can go up to the upper storey balcony for a view of the village whilst enjoying a cup of tea / coffee or any preferred drink.
