À vivre

The Kunene River is one of Namibia's most emblematic and surprising waterways. Running 1,050 kilometres, it rises in the highlands of Angola before forming, over nearly 300 kilometres, the natural border between Angola and Namibia. In a largely desert country, the Kunene appears as a ribbon of life, winding through arid landscapes and creating genuine oases of greenery. Its banks, lined with palms, fig trees and reeds, shelter rich biodiversity: hippopotamuses, crocodiles and a multitude of waterbirds find refuge here.
The river is also known for Epupa Falls, one of the country's most spectacular natural sites, where the water plunges in a series of cascades amid baobabs and cliffs. A source of life, a border, and a meeting point between nature and culture, the Kunene River embodies an unexpected and contrasted Namibia.

From a touristic and geological standpoint, this region is one of the most fascinating in Namibia. It captivates with the raw beauty of its ...

Erongo

Where the ocean meets the desert

As one of only four regions in Namibia bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Erongo region is without question one of the country's most sought-after destinations. Much of this appeal rests on Swakopmund, the regional capital with its colonial charm, as well as on well-known sites such as Walvis Bay, Karibib, Omaruru and the busy Henties Bay. The eastern part of the region ...
