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.

When to go

Kunene’s dry season runs from May to October, bringing the most favourable conditions for game spotting and dune-set adventures.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Windhoek’s Hosea Kutako is your nearest international airport; from here, your safari hosts can arrange onward air transfers to your basecamp.
  • Automobiles

    The drive from Windhoek north through the Namib desert to Kunene takes anything from six to 10 hours (depending on where you’re heading) for an experienced driver with a 4WD; organised connecting flights are a simpler option.
