"Its Just as much about the Journey as the destination"
Join us on this fascinating 14-day journey. Explore the lovely green landscapes around the Otjihipa Mountains, which rise abruptly to the east, and the Hartmann Mountains, which are parched with a desert area and hard terrain. The cascades Ruacana and Epupa Falls are prominent tourist attractions in Namibia's Kaokoland region. Epupa Falls is home to a number of dangerous crocs as well as a variety of marine creatures. If not an ideal holiday destination, Kaokoland is surely a place to unwind and appreciate the magnificent environment.
Tour text information
The tribes of the Himba people live in Kaokoland, Namibia's untamed area. The lonely and mountainous location is recognized for its beautiful landscape, which includes mountains, pastel tones of dawn and sunset, water streams, and much more. Even though it is a barren place, the refreshing hues of the plains and the dazzling dawn make Kaokoland one of Namibia's leisure holiday choices. In terms of biodiversity and environment, the Namibian desert is home to several endemic and uncommon African animals such as elephants, black rhinos, giraffes, and others. The Hoarusib River, which overlooks the table-top koppies, provides a fantastic vantage from which to take in the breathtaking scenery. Kaokoland is a region bounded by the Hoanib and Kunene rivers.

We shall encounter several mysteries along the way, such as the Stone Men, also known as "The Lone Men of Kaokoland."
The Stone Men are an unsolved mystery in this remote region of Namibia, only appropriate for daring visitors to a desolate paradise of secrets and wonders. These stone sculptures, also known as The Lone Men of Kaokoland, are constructed of Cunene region rock and include a human form of a man symbolizing diverse characters. Each figure is in a distinct pose: seated, standing, kneeling, crawling, hands up, grasping a rock... Each sculpture has an inscription with the number and a short statement describing the title of his pose and the direction this strange guy is traveling.
Nobody knows who created these statues. In other words, the Stone Men's designer has managed to go unseen while creating a gallery of outdoor sculptures in Namibia's Kaokoland. And there, without a doubt, is where much of the mystery of these artworks rests. Why are you at this position and location? Could the artist be putting new Stone Men in Kaokoland? Why isn't it brought to light? Perhaps it is these questions that distinguish this location which makes the search for Stone Men a fun thing to perform while in northern Namibia. The mystery remains unsolved...
There are various activities available, including bird watching, Kunene River fishing, Himba Kraal Visits, Kunene Canoeing, Sundowner Kunene River Cruise, White Water Rafting, River Walks, Epupa Falls Sunset Experience, Explore Epupa Falls and much more..
