Home Destinations Namibia Kaokoland
Also known as the Kunene, Kaokoland lies east of Namibia’s treacherous Skeleton Coast. Established as a homeland for the Himba people in the 1920s, it remains the chosen home of a tribe faithful to their cultural traditions, and preferring the isolation of their unspoilt, stark and often extreme landscape to the modern world.
Spanning an impressive 50 000km2 and stretching south to north from the Hoanib River to the Kunene, which forms the natural border between Namibia and Angola, Kaokoland remains one of the world’s last unspoilt wildernesses. Enjoy endless stargazing, extraordinary photo opportunities and white-water adventures – or search for Kaokoland’s uniquely adapted desert elephant.
