Uis

Namibia / Kunene / Khorixas /

A small town where tin used to be mined. When the mine closed in 1990, the white engineers moved away happily, but the black workers had to stay in the middle of nowhere. Today the situation is slowly improving due to tourism lured to the Brandberg/Daureb. The local Daureb Mountain Guides offer a good service in guiding visitors to the famous "White Lady" painting or on hiking tours to the high mountain.
