About Outjo
Outjo is a city in Kunene Region, Namibia, located in the Outjo Constituency. The name is said to mean "little hills" in Herero. It is best known as a main gateway to Etosha National Park. The town was founded by Germans under the command of Colonel Theodor von Leutwein in 1897 as a small military base in order to explore the northern area of German South-West Africa.

The local historical museum (Franke Haus Museum) details the campaign of Major Viktor Franke in Ovamboland. The "Impalila monument" commemorates the small expedition on the Portuguese fort of Impalila in Angola by Major Viktor Franke in October 1914 following the massacre of a German delegation which had been sent to negotiate a treaty of non-aggression.

The town lies near Gamkarab Cave, known for its stalactites and stalagmites and its pietersite. The caves are on private ground and not open to the public. Outjo is the Gateway to the Etosha National Park. Situated on the C38, +/-90 Southwest of the Southern entrance, the Anderson Gate.
