Accommodation in Kunene Region & Damaraland
Probably one of Namibia's less populated and developed areas, this starkly beautiful area is known for the picturesque Epupa Falls and the fascinating Himba semi-nomadic tribe. The lodges are fairly few and far between, generally very luxurious and well worth the effort of getting there.
The Kunene Region (also known as Kaokoland) incorporates Damaraland and is one of the Namibia's 14 regions. Mountainous, inaccessible in parts and extremely arid, it's an area of remote beauty and unexpected rewards.The largest local town is Opuwo.
