Huab River


The Huab River is an ephemeral river in the Kunene Region of north-western Namibia. Its source is southeast of Kamanjab, from where it flows westwards through Mopane savanna until it reaches the Skeleton Coast and the Atlantic Ocean. Inflows of the Huab are Klein Omaruru, Sout, Aba Huab, Ongwati and Klip. Uniab's catchment area is estimated to be between 14,800 and, and includes the town of Khorixas as well as the settlements Kamanjab, Fransfontein, and Anker. The Twyfelfontein World Heritage Site is located on the banks of the Aba Huab.
The Huab is well known for its Desert elephant population which endangers farming activities but is also a potential tourist magnet.
