Deep in the north-western corner of Namibia, Kaokoland is one of the most remote, wild and marvellously unique areas of the country. It’s a land characterized by rolling dunes, Rocky Mountains and desert plains all crisscrossed by ancient, dry riverbeds, the roads of the area. Temporary Himba settlements dot the landscape, and scattered herds of desert-adapted elephant and giraffe are a common sight.

If time allows, the afternoon can be spent on a scheduled lodge activity as offered by Hoanib Valley Camp.
