Marienfluss Valley

The Marienfluss Valley is situated in the extreme north west of Namibia’s Kunene Region, run through by the beautiful Kunene River. The valley is best known for its mysterious ‘fairy circles’: rings in the sand between two and 20 metres across, rimmed by grass. The circles are believed to be created by termites, while a local Himba tale tells the story of a dragon blowing fiery bubbles from the earth. Explore the valley’s vast grasslands, stunning dunes in the west, and the rugged Otjihipa mountains in the east. Access to the Marienfluss Valley is with a 4x4 vehicle only.
