Damaraland & Kunene: Desert and Rivers
Palmwag, Damaraland, Twyfelfontein, Brandberg, Grootberg, Ongava, Opuwo, and Epupa Falls.
The northwest is Namibia at its most raw: desert-adapted rhino and elephant, UNESCO rock art at Twyfelfontein, the Brandberg’s White Lady, and the Kunene River at Epupa Falls. This is a 4×4 journey through remote lodges and community conservancies.
Why go Palmwag and Grootberg offer rhino tracking; Damaraland and Twyfelfontein deliver landscapes and rock art. Ongava is a luxury safari add-on. Opuwo is the gateway to Himba culture; Epupa Falls is a stunning river oasis.
What to do 4×4 essential. Book lodges and activities in advance. Allow 12 days for the full loop.
