An Insider’s Guide to Kunene Region, Namibia

Kunene Region in Namibia offers many hidden treasures that are not always on the tourist trail. As a local, I have explored and discovered some gems that make this place unique. Here is a roundup of the top attractions, dining spots, cultural experiences, historical insights, and off-the-beaten-path suggestions that you can explore to experience Kunene Region’s true essence.

Local Attractions: Discover the Unexplored

The region around Kunene River is surprisingly lush with vegetation that contrasts the sandy landscape that Namibia is known for. Not many people know this, but the Kunene River attracts a wide range of bird species, including aquatic birds like the African Fish Eagle and even the African Skimmer. Small fishing villages like Epupa Falls and Swartbooisdrift offer insights into the lives of Himba tribes, known for their unique dressing style and vibrant ochre body paint. The local markets in these villages offer unique arts and crafts like hand-carved wooden statues and intricate jewelry. Don’t forget to explore the Sesfontein community conservancy to see the incredible rock formations and enjoy the surreal landscapes that the Kunene Region has to offer.

Dining Spots: The taste of Kunene Region

Kunene is a region with a strong indigenous food culture. You can sample local dishes like oshifima (a porridge made from mahangu flour), mopane worms (a protein-rich snack), venison stew, and braai-style meat (beef, goat, and venison) cooked over an open flame. Khowarib lodge serves up delicious meals that are a combination of both European and Namibian cuisine, with an emphasis on using fresh and locally-sourced ingredients. Enjoy a sundowner on the deck overlooking the Hoanib River, with the Ovahimba community of Khowarib living on the other side of the river.

Cultural Experiences: Celebrating Namibian Culture

Namibia is a diverse country with over 11 different ethnic groups with different customs, dance, and music styles. The Damara Living Museum offers a glimpse into the lives of this unique tribe, with the opportunity to dance with the San people, interact with them, and create traditional items like pottery. The Himba tribe, occupying much of the Kunene Region, offers unique insights into their dressing style, body painting, and beauty rituals. You can visit one of the Himba villages and spend time understanding their way of life or attend a traditional Omajova festival where the Herero people celebrate their heritage with traditional music, dance, and food.

Local History: Tales of Namibia’s Past

Kunene Region has a rich and storied history that ties into Namibia’s independence struggle. The Epupa Falls Lodge offers guided tours to learn about the six-year war between South Africa and SWAPO (South West African People’s Organization) which, in turn, sparked the Namibian War of Independence. Explore the ruins of Fort Sesfontein, built-in 1896, that tells a story of German colonialism and the harsh realities that came with it. Finally, visit the Cape Cross Seal Reserve, where Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão first landed in 1486, marking the beginning of Europe’s exploration of southern Africa.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Suggestions: Moments to Remember

One of the best ways to explore the Kunene Region is by walking. Opt for guided walks along the Hoarusib riverbed in search of the elusive desert elephants, which are a unique attraction in this area. The Namibian sky is one of the clearest and brightest in the world, and you can enjoy stargazing at night with a guided tour of the cosmos. And finally, enjoy a hot air balloon ride over the Hoanib riverbed for a bird’s-eye view of the Kunene landscapes – a once-in-a-lifetime experience itself.

Kunene Region is full of hidden gems that are waiting to be explored. Take your time and enjoy each experience, and you will leave with fond memories of Namibia that will stay with you forever.
