Dominated by rugged mountain ranges and steep escarpments, ancient highlands and barren valleys, scorched by a relentless desert sun and inhabited almost exclusively by the unique semi-nomadic Himba tribe, Kaokoland is probably Namibia's least visited and accessible, but certainly most fascinating region. Starting from the Brandberg Mountain ( famous for its White Lady rockart painting ) in the central Namib Desert up to the Kunene River and bordering Angola, Kaokoland covers an area of approximately 50000km?. The cattle breeding Himba still freely roam over the wide pastures of these highlands. Excursions into this remote region may be arranged on request by us. You may be lucky enough to encounter the famous desert elephant or rare Black rhino that roams the riverbeds and adjacent Mopane woodlands in continuous search for food, or herds of mountain zebra and springbok. Further south, in Damaraland, Nambia's spectacular scenery continues to provide incredible photographic opportunities and unique natural wonders for travellers. Visit the prehistoric rock art gallery at Twyfelfontein, the fossilized trees at the Petrified Forest and marvel at the massive Finger Rock and odd arrangements of the rocks at the Organ Pipes.
