Kunene

Kunene Region Essentials

The Kunene Region in northwestern Namibia encompasses a vast, arid landscape shaped by volcanic activity and ancient history. This list features the UNESCO-listed Twyfelfontein rock engravings, some of the oldest in Africa, alongside geological formations like the Organ Pipes and the Petrified Forest. The region is defined by the Cunene River's waterfalls, including Epupa and Ruacana, and serves as the ancestral home of the Himba people. Notable landmarks include the 19th-century Fort Sesfontein and the thermal springs of Ongongo.
