dc.description	<p><strong>"... this fortress was not just a white elephant, it was actually occupied and played a major role in the settlement of Germans in the far North." (own translation) - D.W. Krynauw <em>Die Verhaal van</em> <em>Namutoni, </em></strong><strong>p 3.</strong></p> <p><strong>Introduction</strong></p> <p>Fort Namutoni, the last White outpost east of the familiar Etosha Pan, has seen a long and varied history. Namutoni was initially referred to as a swampy fountain covered with reeds. This was in the year 1851 when the first White travellers Francis Galton (1822-1911) and Charles Andersson (1828-1867) reached this part of South-West Africa on their way to Ondangua.</p>
