Opuwa Travel Guide

Namibia

Opuwa is a small town in Namibia with a population of 5,101. It is in the country’s dry north-west, well away from the coast, so it is better suited to inland travel than a beach break.

Most visitors arrive by air through Opuwo Airport (OPW), which serves the town. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Opuwa, so coastal activities are not part of the local travel experience.
