Local telephone dialing code is 067. Otjiwarongo is located at a crossroads for the railroad and for the network of roads between Windhoek, the Goldren Triangle of Otavi, Tsumeb and Grootfontein, and Etosha National Park. The main interest for tourists is Otjiwarongo's proximity to the Waterberg Plateau Park and Okonjima, the home of the Africat Foundation. Closer to town is the Crocodile Ranch, one of the few captive breeding programs for the Nile Crocodile that has been registered with CITES. The ranch exports the skins, but sells the meat locally. In town is Locomotive NO 41 originally brought from Germany to haul ore between Tsumeb and the port at Swakopmund. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) South Africa occupied the German colony of South-West Africa during World War I and administered it as a mandate until after World War II, when it annexed the territory. In 1966 the Marxist South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) guerrilla group launched a war of independence for the area that was soon named Namibia, but it was not until 1988 that South Africa agreed to end its administration in accordance with a UN peace plan for the entire region. Independence came in 1990 following multi-party elections and the establishment of a constitution. President NUJOMA is currently serving his third term as president..
