Namibia / Kaokoland
Wild and rugged and home to extraordinary wildlife
Kaokoland is well off the trodden path, sparsely populated, wild, and rugged, with extreme terrains punctuated with dry river beds, grassy plains, and rocky outcrops. Kaokoland is also home to the Himba Tribe and ample wildlife, including the desert elephant, rhino, giraffe, and lion.
If you like remote places, mountainous landscapes, unique wildlife, and exotic tribal cultures, then the Kaokoland is the place to go. Smack dab between the Skeleton Coast and the Kunene River hugging the Angolan border, Kaokoland offers unique beauty for intrepid travelers willing to go the extra mile.
