Tsumeb (Otjiherero name: Okavisume) is a city of 15,000 inhabitants and the largest town in Oshikoto region in northern Namibia. Tsumeb is the "gateway to the north" of Namibia. It is the closest town to the Etosha National Park. Tsumeb used to be the regional capital of Oshikoto until 2008 when Omuthiya was proclaimed a town and the new capital. The area around Tsumeb forms its own electoral constituency and has a population of 44,113. The town is the site of a deep mine (the lower workings now closed), that in its heyday was known simply as "The Tsumeb Mine" but has since been renamed the Ongopolo mine.
The name Tsumeb is generally pronounced "SOO-meb". The name is not a derivative of German, Afrikaans, or English. It has been suggested that it comes from Nama and means either "Place of the moss" or "Place of the frog". Perhaps this old name had something to do with the huge natural hill of green, oxidized copper ore that existed there before it was mined out.

We hired "Expedite Aviation" to take us on a "helicopter safari" from Tsumeb to Etosha National Park and (a couple of days later) back. This gives an impression what northern Namibia looks like from the air. Later in the video is a view of Lake Oshikoto, a sinkhole into which the German military drove loads of military vehicles during a retreat in the early 1900s.

Safari Lodge (La Rochelle) reception area in a Tsumeb Game Lodge. Sadly this lodge allows animals to be shot and people come from around the world for the privilege. How anyone can shoot an elephant and then pose for a photo with his foot on the slain animal's head is beyond me. There can't be any remorse as they allow the photos to be published in different magazines. What brave men they are. Absolutely sick.
