  2. A

    Namibia Crafts Centre

    This place is an outlet for heaps of wonderful Namibian inspiration - leatherwork, basketry, pottery, jewellery, needlework, hand-painted textiles and other material arts - and the artist and origin of each piece is documented. The attached snack bar is well known for its coffee and healthy snacks.

  3. Kalahari Sands Hotel

    The handicrafts sold in Post Street Mall are largely imported directly from Zimbabwe, though you can buy locally produced Herero dolls from outside the Kalahari Sands Hotel as well as baskets and woodcarvings around Zoo Park.
