The Kaokoveld is in the north-western corner of Namibia and because of the arid conditions, it is still one of very few true wilderness regions remaining in the world.
The breathtaking beauty of the rugged mountains, red dunes and ancient, dry riverbeds is unparalleled and for those who are adventurers at heart, this part of the Kaoko region should definitely be explored.
The dusty town of Opuwo is the last outpost before entering the rural landscape where there are no shops, fuel stations and other modern facilities - except for those provided by the lodges in the area.
Don’t miss out on seeing this absolutely spectacular part of the world and experiencing the adventures of travel in this harsh land.
