cultural heritage and traditions

Namibia is regarded as one of the peaceful countries in the world, with a rich cultural heritage and traditions.
 
We are about 2.2 million people, which represent one of the lowest population densities on the African continent counting to 1.5 people per km^2. This fact is suprising because there are 11 main ethinic group in Namibia. One might think that with all those ethinic groups, we must be atlease +- 11 million people. Nevertheless, we are one united nation.
 
The Food delights offered in Namibia are as vibrant and varied as the history and culture of the Namibian people. Having said that, the local food that you might indulge in is based on which region you are in. Which means, if you are in the capital city, you should expect to eat mordern food only. That is not suprising either, because it is hard to get traditional food in the capital.
 
Of course you will  get your red meat and chicken in windhoek. It is amazing how Namibians love their meat and chicken. A meal with no meat in Namibia is not considered as a real meal.
 
Since it is so hard to get your traditional cooked meat and chicken and other types of food in Windhoek, Xwama Cultural Village is there to serve you. It is the only restaurant where you get your traditional food and feel at home (village or farm) again. That sounds appealing! Xwama restaurant believes that, culture is one of the aspect we should respect and we shoul't let it die despite where we are.

  2. I wonder if Xwama can diversify its menu to represent more cultural dishes than just Oshiwambo. I am an Oshiwambo speaking person and I love your menu. But it can be interesting finding more dishes all under one roof instead of moving from place to place.

  3. Thank you for your suggestion Erkkie Haipinge. Currently, we serve other western African food. But we will definitely look into it
