Kunene Region

Kunene Region is a semi-arid area in northwestern Namibia, known for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage. It features dramatic mountains, deserts, and the famous Epupa Falls. The region is sparsely populated, with many indigenous communities, including the Himba people, who are recognized for their unique traditional lifestyles. Kunene is important for conservation, housing several national parks and wildlife, such as elephants and rhinos. Its economy relies mainly on tourism, livestock farming, and some mining. Despite challenges like drought, Kunene’s rugged beauty and cultural diversity make it a significant part of Namibia’s natural and cultural identity.
