Note
"Omaruru is a city in the Erongo Region of central Namibia. The town has 14,000 inhabitants and owns 352 square kilometres (136 sq mi) of land. It is situated near Mount Erongo, on the usually dry Omaruru River. It is located on the main paved road from Swakopmund to Otjiwarongo. The name in the local Otjiherero language means ´bitter milk´, as the cattle used to browse on a local bush that turned their milk bitter.

Omaruru is known for its annual festival where the Herero people commemorate their past local chiefs, its winery, and for the dinosaur footprints at nearby Otjihaenamparero." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.09.2021)
