Travel Mystery #2

 

Caprivi, Namibia 

Along Caprivi strip, place names such as Rundu, Divindu, Katima Mulilo,  Kongola, Oshikango...and then this odd sign

Thanks for all comments:

• Fatty acid police? - Richard
•  Everyone knows that the bushmen had a secret source of Omega 3’s from the trout in a small river leading into the Okovango Delta (which explained their longevity). The bushmen that is, not the trout. And then the Europeans came and found this out, and put that sign-post up, which gave the game away. Then this new health fad caught on in Europe, and soon after that, in true Colonial style, the secret source was depleted. But the sign post remains as a simple reminder to never kill the trout that lays the golden omega. -- Stu
• No Latin for me, it’s all about watches. Like the island of misfit toys (or the clothing dumps in Patagonia) the Angolan government has been paid heaps of money to provide a place where all Omega brand time pieces can be deposited. Worth a visit… -- Pippa
• Omega 3 was an old SADF base. Bagani and Omega Camp. -- Doris
• There's another place called Omega. Botanical records show species collected between these two sites. Omega has an airport - it was a SADF airport base HQ for Battalion 31 the "Bushmen" battalion - mainly bushmen with exceptional tracking abilities organised into counterinsurgency during the war. Their motto was "Alpha et Omega". -- Kim
