Gateway to the jewels of the south ...
Mariental with its strategic location is a gateway to all the internationally acclaimed tourist destinations such as Sesriem, Sossusvlei, Namib Naukluft Park, Kalahari Gemsbok Park and others. As the capital of the region it is comfortably straddling both the Namib and the Kalahari deserts like an oasis and thus links with a variety of lodges and guest farms in the hearts of these deserts.
The town was named after Marie Brandt, the wife of pioneer settler Herman Brandt who bought the farm in 1895 from the Nama leader, Hendrik Witbooi, renaming it Mariental. The name given by the Khoi-khoi people, (Nama) is “Tsaraxa Aibes”, meaning place of dust, due to the dust storms that occur mostly in autumn and summer. Mariental was founded as a railway stop between Windhoek and Keetmanshoop in 1912. On 22 November 1920 Mariental officially became a town and was then accorded full municipal status on 21 January 1946.
Mariental is the capital of the Hardap Region. The Hardap dam, which is the largest in the country, is a popular tourist resort providing self-contained accommodation, camping, fishing and a game reserve. It is also the prime location for Namibia's fast developing water sports such as the International Triathlon, angling competitions, etc.
