Located in the Omusati Region of northern Namibia, near the Angolan border, Ombalantu is a cultural town famous for its traditional wooden longhouses. The iconic Ombalantu Big Tree House, a 28-meter-high structure made of African acacia wood, dates back to the 19th century and is an important cultural heritage site for the local Ovambo people as it once served as a place of residence, council and ceremony. Today, the Big Tree House has been transformed into a small museum displaying traditional handicrafts, farming tools and folklore history, offering visitors a glimpse into the traditional way of life in northern Namibia. Surrounded by lush vegetation and nourished by seasonal rivers, the town's inhabitants still practice the ancient skills of millet cultivation and hand weaving. As an important point on Namibia's "cultural journey", Ombalantu is an ideal destination to experience the original African culture with its unique wooden house architecture and simple folklore.
Durban is the third largest city in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province, located on the Indian Ocean coast, known for its warm subtropical climate and long golden coastline, known as "Africa's best seaside resort". As one of the busiest ports in Africa, Durban is not only the shipping hub of South Africa, but also a window for multiculturalism - Zulu, Indian, European and other cultures collide here to form a unique street food and festival atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy marine activities such as surfing and dolphin watching, explore Ushaka Marine World or walk the waterfront walkway to experience the city's vibrancy and tolerance.
