Gumare

Gumare or Gomare is a rural village located in the North-West District of Botswana, near the Okavango Delta.

There are twenty-seven villages in the Okavango Sub-district, although the 2011 census only enumerates six: Daonara, Ditshiping, Jao, Katamaga, Morutsha, and Xaxaba.

Okavango is set within a geographically unstable area of faults and regularly experiences land movements, tremors and quakes.

There are arid lands, swamps, channels, lagoons, grasslands, lakes and countless islands of various shape and size.

Baskets and other small, high quality crafts were driven to Gaborone and exported from there to the United States and Europe for sale.
