"The Uranium Capital of the World"
Town Overview: Arandis
Nestled in the heart of the Erongo Region along the B2 highway between Usakos and Swakopmund, Arandis is a vital industrial and mining hub in western Namibia. Originally established to house workers for the nearby Rössing Uranium Mine—one of the world's largest open-pit uranium mines—the town has expanded its economic footprint with the development of mega-projects like the Husab Mine. Strategically positioned on the transport corridor connecting the Port of Walvis Bay to the interior, Arandis functions as a specialized center for mining services, logistics, industrial fabrication, and technical vocational training.
