Who are we?
The origin of our name Tambula comes from the Oshiwambo word for ‘take’. It is the root of our ethos, focused on providing you with the opportunity to take a piece of what our local Namibian artisans have to offer.
Our online marketplace is a central hub for Namibia’s informal market. Connecting you to a collection of artisans from across Namibia and empowering them to sell their products directly to you. We believe that buying from small businesses, artists and craft-makers is an integral way of supporting the local creative economy and the communities around you—no matter how far away.
Tambula is a journey of discovery. A journey beyond the impressive landscapes and sights to a place where you will find artisanal goods reflecting the hard work, passion and knowledge of local crafters.
A place where artisans can share pockets of Namibia’s rich culture and eye for innovation through their products.
Why Us?
Our mission is to give local artisans within our informal market a platform to showcase their craft and innovations, while delivering a seamless shopping experience. We aim to enable local artisans and crafts-makers by introducing their products to the open market.
