The Kunene River

Forming the border between Namibia and Angola, the Kunene River is a permanently flowing watercourse in an untamed landscape and traditional home to Himba people. The region offers a wonderfully contrasting experience to other areas of Namibia, with the chance to explore by boat and spot water-loving animals such as crocodiles and rare birds such as the rufous-tailed palm thrush and Cinderella waxbill as well as Rüppell’s parrot, Bennett’s woodpecker, violet wood-hoopoe and more – there are around 240 species in total with 10 endemics.
