Hoanib River Valley Photos

One of two river valleys that we explored on a recent Namibia safari through this remote region, the journey down Hoanib River Valley was nothing short of spectacular.

Driving through the town of Sesfontein and then turning left onto a track that had not been driven in a while was just the start, the river bed, the mountains, the tracks crisscrossing each other, the sheer cliffs, those photographic acacia trees, we could go on and on forever. Take it from us, the Hoanib River Valley is uttering amazing.

It truly is hard to explain through words and images just how absolutely stunning the scenery was that surrounded us, although we did not spot much wildlife as such, except for desert elephant, oryx and springbok, the scenery and isolation were completely mind-blowing.

For us, next time, at least three nights exploring this river valley, the desert lions were there, we could hear then, but due to time constraints, we could not find them.

Travelling and exploring the tracks of the Hoanib River Valley is for the adventurous only, travel with no less than two vehicles in convoy.

All photographs have been taken by us here at Uyaphi.com over 20 years.

Namibia Travel Topics

  • The Road To Sossusvlei

    Once one navigates the main Sesriem entrance gates and enters the national park a pleasant surprise awaits, a tarred road (yes, a tarred road) that extends all the way through to the main parking area near Sossusvlei.

  • Cape Town To The Kunene River

    In November and December of last year (2019), we loaded our Jeep and headed north out of Cape Town, destination Namibia and the Kunene River, her border with Angola. A couple of thousand kilometres later, we returned, this time, more in love with Namibia than ever.

  • Windhoek Oktoberfest 2021

    On the 25th and 26th of October, the Sports Klub Windhoek will host the 55th edition of the Oktoberfest. Over 5000 people are expected to attend (compared to 1000 in 2010). Adding a certain local flavour will be the Namibian band Famaz Attak, and there will be long-established activities and games like archery and tree trunk sawing.

  • Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek

    Continuing our series of dining in Africa, we look at the Namibian capital, Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions of Namibia as a safari destination. Nowhere is too far to travel in this small (and clean) city of 330,000 but be warned when you go out to eat, vegetarianism is not common!

  • Best Places To Go In Namibia

    The Uyaphi team has compiled a list of the "Best Places to go in Namibia" which most safari itineraries would include. Namibia is different from most African safari destinations. Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction of Namibia is vast, open deserts interspersed with canyons, mountain ranges, and oasis.

  • Living With The Himba

    In May 2012, we arranged for Uyaphi.Com client Ken Vine from Devon in England to stay with the traditional Himba people in two remote villages in the middle of Kaokoland, Namibia. He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
