Ongongo, situated in the Kunene region of Namibia, offers a brilliant
combination of fresh water spring, waterfall and rock pool.
The rock pool is spectacular and is a good place to spend days hiking,

At the head of a narrow valley a waterfall, fed by a natural spring,
drops into a small gorge of calcrete cliffs.
