Opuwo

Opuwo, meaning "the end" in the Herero language, is located in the northwestern Kunene region of Namibia.

It serves as the capital of the region and is known as the gateway to the Epupa waterfalls. The surrounding landscape is characterized by low-lying hills and vast dry desert plains, inhabited by a wealth of desert-adapted wildlife. It serves as a central hub for the Himba culture. The town is an ideal starting point for visitors who want to explore the Kaokoland and visit the real Himba villages. The town and the Opuwo countryside are considered one of the cultural highlights of a trip to Namibia, as it has an incredibly rich cultural heritage. Do not miss the opportunity to learn about the fascinating Himba community in this incredibly beautiful landscape.
