Lake with a history
If you have visited this lake, you should also visit the museum in Tsumeb to experience the full history of this lake. Weapons were dumped in the lake, and later recovered. It is on display in a well run Museum in town. Well worth a visit.

Interesting site - Poor display
A N$10 parking fee and ND$25 to enter. This sink-hole caused by collapsing underground caves could be a major draw card for the area. Unfortunately there is no information about it at the site, besides one signboard informing you a a few artillery weapons and arms still in the lake. Your best bet for information is to Google it. Some one at some time did try to improve a visitors experience, but now the buildings are old, and the foot path around the sink-hole almost invisible and lost in the undergrowth. Yes, it is worth it. For the price, maybe not at the moment. But if you do go, try get information beforehand so that walking around you can experience it better. Wiki has an interesting short article on Otjikoto Lake.

Short stop
Well, crater lake. One look, short walk. Bureaucratic entrance, pay 50N$/person - expensive? Staff really bored. But if you want to have a break between Tsumeb and Etosha, here is ar least something to see.
