Get in

By bus

Long distance coaches pass through Keetmans on a regular basis on their way between Windhoek and South Africa. Unfortunately the north-bound trip from South Africa arrives at a nasty hour of the morning.

By combie

Combies (shared taxis) travel regularly to Keetmans from various places in Namibia, including Windhoek, Lüderitz and Mariental. Combies also arrive in Keetmans from South Africa.

By train

Keetmanshoop is 10 hours from Windhoek, not really the best option, the bus is much faster.

Do

• Trek Best place to organize a trek through the Fish River Canyon. #24 Luchtenstein st., around the corner to the north from the petrol station where the bus stops. Look for the sign on the station window. Staff can organize transport to the Fish River Lodge, where a 5 day hike in the canyon is available.

Cope

The town has supermarkets, outfitters, a hardware store, and auto parts.
