Kunene

People like you are child sponsors
Kunene (also known as Kaokoland) is one of the thirteen Regions of Namibia and home to the Himba ethical group. Compared with the rest of Namibia, it is relatively underdeveloped what may be due to its mountainous and unaccessible geography and the dryness that doesn't allow any form of farming. Infrastructure like roads is hardly existing. Kunene is one of the last remaining truly "wild" regions of Southern Africa and boasts a diverse wildlife including elephants. The biggest town is Opuwo with a population of probably less than 5,000.

Its name comes from the Kunene River in the North that forms the border to Angola.
