Luxury holidays in Kunene Region
The Skeleton Coast National Park is the Kunene Region’s desert jewel, surprisingly abundant in wildlife with adventure-ready dunes and dramatic night skies. But further north, where game — including black rhino — still roams, you’ll also find the semi-nomadic Himba people, whose way of life has shaped the landscape and offers a different take on Kaokoveld sojourns.
