Okakarara is a town in Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia, located 50 kilometres (31 mi) southeast of Waterberg National Park.

The first house was built by Salathiel Kambamba Kambazembi and Reinard Tjerije who arrived in the area in 1923.

[citation needed] The town further features a secondary school, a government hospital, a vocational training centre, and an abattoir.

Because of this, Okakarara is one of the few towns in Namibia where the otherwise dominant SWAPO party faces considerable opposition.

The remaining seat went to the Landless People's Movement (LPM, an opposition party formed in 2016) with 365 votes.
