Namibian cuisine reflects the country’s rich cultural diversity, blending indigenous African traditions with German, South African, and Portuguese influences. The diet typically revolves around hearty meat dishes, such as game meats like kudu, oryx, and springbok, alongside staples like maize meal and potatoes. Traditional dishes such as kapana (grilled meat) and potjiekos (stew) are popular, and ingredients like millet, beans, and dried fish are common in rural areas. The influence of German colonialism is evident in the prevalence of sausages, breads, and pastries like the vetkoek (fried dough bread). Namibian cuisine offers a unique taste of the country’s history and landscapes.
