Oshivelo is a settlement in northern Namibia, located between Omuthiya and Tsumeb in the Oshikoto Region. To its West is Etosha National Park. Oshivelo was proclaimed a settlement in 1998.

Transport and infrastructure

Oshivelo has a clinic which in 2014 was refurbished and named after Catherine Bullen, a woman that died there in 2002 due to inadequate facilities.

In early 2005, the new Northern Railway reached Oshivelo with a 89 kilometres (55 mi) section from Tsumeb. By mid-2006, it had reached Ondangwa, and. A train service known as the Omugulugwombashe Star traveled weekly on this track until the locomotives broke down after a few rounds of service.
