Kombat

Kombat is a mine and its associated settlement at the southern margin of the Otavi Mountain Range in northern Namibia. It is situated 37 kilometres (23 mi) East of Otavi on the B8 to Grootfontein. Kombat at its peak had over 1,000 inhabitants. As of 2015 it is almost abandoned, although Kombat Prima

ry School still operates at reduced capacity, and a clinic is serving the remaining inhabitants. In the vicinity, the Welwitchia Health Training Center brought life to the known ghost town of Kombat. It offers a Bachelors of Nursing Science program, Enrolled Nursing Science and Midwifery as well as a Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology. There are recreational facilities such as Kombat Lodge where visitors and people of the town can enjoy themselves.
