Waterberg, Etosha, Damaraland, Kaokoland, Epopa, Brandberg, Caprivi gang... These are all evocative sites of Northern Namibia. With high rainfall and very humid biotopes, far from the arid lands of the South, the North offers a very rich wealth of fauna and flora and an incredible variety of landscapes. Not to mention the beautiful encounters you will have with the Himba people (or red people) in Kaokoland. Note that the visit of the Kaokoland requires the possession of a 4x4.
