Keetmanshoop is a small town in south-central Namibia. It's one of the main stopping points on the B1 between Windhoek and South Africa. Referred to in Namibia as Keetmans. At first, Keetmanshoop pronounced keet-man-swoop, may seem like not much more than a quick stopover. The main reason for stopping at all is to refill on gas and check your tires the dry, hot asphalt of the highway can make tires pop, but there is in fact much more to this town if you get the chance to discover it, either out of your own volition, or because your car breaks down.
An old German town, Keetmanshoop features a cinema, multiple restaurants, an impressive library, and easy access to some of the most visually stunning landscapes this side of the border.
