Mile 30 is a settlement that is situated 30 miles (48 km) south of Rundu in the Kavango East region of Namibia, on the B8 national road. It contains a school, a chapel of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (ELCIN),[1] some shops and a clinic.[2]
The people of this village mainly depend on subsistence farming. The soil in this area is very fertile. People in this area have started to develop a community conservancy aimed at protecting the wildlife.
The majority of the males in this area carve wood crafts, which they sell to tourists in Okahandja.
