Gobabis

Gobabis is situated on the Wit-Nossob River, 120 km from the Botswana border at Buitepos. The name is Khoi-Khoi for the "Place of Strife", but a slight misspelling (Gobabis) would render it "Place of Elephants", which locals seem to prefer (despite its obvious shortage of elephants). The 1970 farms of  the surrounding Omaheke region cover 4.9 million hectares (an additional 3.5 million hectares belong to the Hereroland communal area) and provide over one-third of Namibia's beef. Gobabis is the main service centre in the region, and is likely to gain  prominence as traffic increases on the Trans-Kalahari route between Windhoek and Botswana's capital, Gaborone.
