One of Africa's last true wildernesses and home to the Himba
Covering the north west swathe of the Kunene Region right up to the Kunene River and the northern border of Angola, lies one of Africa’s last true wildernesses where the land offers a truly adventurous escape.
Enjoy guided driving tours in Koakoland, take scenic flights over the Marienfluss valley, or head out on safari to see desert elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, as well as the more common game of zebras, giraffes and antelopes. In the north, one of the natural highlights of this beautiful region is Epupa Falls, on the Angolan border. Beyond the natural beauty, taking time to visit Puros villages gives you the opportunity to meet with members of the Himba and Herero communities, learning about their cultures and traditions in a meaningful and considerate way.
As one of Namibia’s most remote and inaccessible areas which itself goes hand in hand with its adventurous allure, many of the roads in this region are in poor condition so travelling by light aircraft as part of a wider flying safari or reaching the handful of the region’s sophisticated lodges, is the only way to explore the area to the full.
Highlights
Meet with members of the Himba tribe and learn about their traditions
Go on game drives to track the rare desert adapted elephants, black rhino and lions
Immerse yourself in the beauty of true remote wilderness
If you're looking to truly escape, Kaokoland is the perfect destination. It's wildly beautiful, you'll get to meet the welcoming Himba people, and revel in a mix of unadulterated adventure and elegant luxury.
