The vast majority of the region consists of a regular pattern of fossilised Kalahari dune ridges, which run almost exactly east-west, giving a distinctly stripy pattern to the satellite imagery. On the ground this translates as rather dull dry farmland.
The main road transit from the hills of Grootfontein in the southeast to the river frontage at Rundu in the northeast is notoriously uninteresting, but does connect the country with the Caprivi Strip and on to the Livingstone.
Eastern areas are of more intrinsic interest, notably bushmanlands around Tsumkwe and to a lesser extent the Khaudum national park.
