Nhabe Museum
The Nhabe Museum is housed in a historic building built by the British military in 1939, and used during WWII as a surveillance post against the German presence in Namibia.
The museum offers a few displays about the history of the Ngamiland district and some temporary exhibitions of photography, basket-weaving and art. Donations are welcome. The museum also houses the Bailey Arts Centre, which allows local artists to produce and sell baskets, screen-printing, paintings and pottery, among other things.

Gobabis Hill
The most famous sight in the area is Gobabis Hill, which features several sets of 4000-year-old rock paintings of San origin. Some lie near the base at the northern end of the hill, though the best are halfway to the summit and face east. Visitors can park their 4WDs nearby and walk to the paintings.
