Communal tourism is still in the fledgling stages however, an increasing number of indigenous people are starting to take fate into their own hands by getting actively involved in the tourism industry. One such example is the Ongula Traditional Homestead Lodge near Ohangwena. Built within the boundaries of an active homestead, it's the first lodge in Namibia to introduce visitors to the authentic, traditional lifestyle of the Ovambo - the largest cultural group in the country. There are four luxury rondavels (twin-bedded) with en-suite facilities, tea/coffee station, mossie nets/gauze sliding doors and an each with an enclosed veranda. The main lodge is located nearby with bar/restaurant and boma (open fire place). The live homestead also offers a pottery-making cave, participation in traditional basket-weaving open-fire cooking, cattle-herding and day-pot making.  A crafter will assist you in creating a gift to take home. Additional day trips include visits to Nakambale Museum, bottle recycling plants, village expeditions, shebeen visits and communal court proceedings - the aim is for visitors to understand a local way of life rather than simply visiting a "museum"!
