The town of Otjiwarongo is located at a crossroads for the railway and for the B1 road and its links between
Windhoek, the Golden Triangle of
Otavi,
Tsumeb and
Grootfontein, and
Etosha National Park.
The main interest for tourists is Otjiwarongo's proximity to the
Waterberg Plateau Park. Namibia is the "Cheetah Capital of the World," and Otjiwarongo is home to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, an internationally-recognized organization dedicated to ensuring the long-term survival of the cheetah through research, conservation and education.
Also about 50 miles from Otjiwarongo is Okonjima, the home of the Africat Foundation. On the edge of town is the Crocodile Ranch, one of the few captive breeding programs for the Nile Crocodile that has been registered with CITES.
The ranch exports the skins, but sells the meat locally. Also in town is Locomotive No 41, originally brought from Germany to haul ore between
Tsumeb and the port at
Swakopmund.
