Frequently asked questions
About Rundu
Rundu is a town located in the Kavango East region of Namibia, situated on the banks of the Kavango River. The town is known for its vibrant markets selling traditional crafts and local produce. The official currency used in Rundu is the Namibian Dollar (NAD), but South African Rand is also widely accepted. Visitors can explore the nearby Mahango Game Park for a chance to see a variety of wildlife such as elephants, hippos, and crocodiles.
When to visit
The best time to visit Rundu is during the dry season from May to October when the weather is cooler and ideal for wildlife viewing. The wet season from November to April brings heavy rainfall and high temperatures, making it less favorable for outdoor activities. However, this is the best time to witness the lush green landscapes and bird migrations in the region.
Getting around
In Rundu, the most common mode of transportation is by minibus taxis, which are shared vehicles that operate on set routes. Renting a car is also a convenient option for exploring the surrounding areas at your own pace. Walking or cycling around the town is a great way to experience the local culture and interact with the friendly residents.
Traveller tips
When visiting Rundu, remember to carry enough cash as credit card facilities may be limited. It is advisable to pack light clothing, sunscreen, and insect repellent due to the hot and humid climate. Engage with the locals to learn about their traditions and customs, and always ask for permission before taking photographs. Be respectful of the environment and wildlife during your excursions, and support the local economy by purchasing handmade crafts and souvenirs.
