Kaokoveld

Nestled between Namibia's Etosha National Park and the Kunene River border with Angola, lies the Kaokoveld region, considered one of Southern Africa's last untouched wilderness areas. Extreme weather characterizes the land, with freezing winters and scorching summers, home to the resilient Himba people known for their striking appearance achieved by applying reddish-brown powder to their skin. The Himba lifestyle faces challenges from the harsh climate and wildlife threats, as tourism gradually encroaches on their traditional ways. For an immersive experience, fly-in adventures offer encounters with rare wildlife, birdwatching, and cultural interactions with the Himba. This off-the-beaten-path destination is ideal for unique holidays. Our recommended Kaokoveld tours and safaris provide an opportunity to explore this wild territory, combining well with Damaraland and Etosha National Park explorations.
