Mokolo ya Fufu

The great staple, the dough that holds the nation together. Fufu made from cassava flour, stirred with a wooden paddle in a pot that could feed ten people. The arm strength required to stir fufu properly is legendary. The first time you tried to make fufu yourself in a foreign kitchen, you understood why your grandmother had forearms like a wrestler.

Animals of Namibia Day

You witness the oryx, springbok, and black-backed jackal roaming Namibia's stark desert landscapes as signature wildlife. You notice that dogs and cats dominate as pets, with some residents keeping guinea fowl for both companionship and eggs. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
