Namibia's Horixis: a natural gem at the gateway to the desert
Located in the southwestern part of Namibia's Erongo Province, where the edge of the Namib Desert meets the coastal plains, Horillas, about 130 kilometers from Swakopmund, is the southern gateway to exploring the Namib Desert. Known for its vast red sand dunes, ancient fossil remains and unique desert ecosystems, the area receives less than 50 millimeters of rainfall per year on average, with significant temperature differences between day and night. Surrounded by private nature reserves, visitors can view desert-adapted species such as giraffes and antelopes, and experience extreme activities such as four-wheel-drive through the dunes and stargazing. The town retains its original Nama and Damara cultural imprints, where traditional handicrafts blend with the natural landscape, making it a hidden destination in Namibia's eco-tourism that combines the charm of the wilderness with the richness of its people.
