About Namibe
Remember that Namibe is located in the southwest corner of Angola, with a coastline of 160 kilometers along the Atlantic Ocean. In the opposite direction, its central sands are bordered by mountains over 2000 meters high.
Another of the province's highlights is Iona, a wild area with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The Iona National Park stands out, part of a transboundary conservation area with the Skeleton Coast National Park, in Namibia. Bounded by two rivers – the Cunene and the Curoca – the park has extensive forests where cheetahs, leopards, oryxes, gazelles, zebras, ostriches and reptiles live, and is also the main habitat of one of the oldest plants in the world, the Welwischia Mirabilis . The park even had elephants and rhinos, but these two species have left the area.
