Ombombo Mountains

Ombombo lies among the rugged hills of Kaokoland, inland from the arid Atlantic coast of southwestern Africa. Mountain ridges and dry river valleys divide a country where rainfall is uncertain and grazing can be widely dispersed. The Kunene River runs to the north, while the Hoanib lies to the south. Himba pastoralists and their ancestors moved through the wider region with their herds, seeking water and pasture among the mountains and plains.
