Erongo Region, Administrative region in central-western Namibia.
The Erongo region spans from the Atlantic coastline to inland mountains, encompassing diverse landscapes including granite formations, desert areas, and coastal settlements.
The region contains archaeological sites with stone tools dating back to 3500 BC, indicating early human settlements in caves across the Erongo Mountains.
Indigenous San people left numerous rock paintings throughout the region, particularly in locations like Phillipp's Cave, documenting their traditional life and beliefs.
The region connects major centers through paved roads, linking the municipalities of Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Henties Bay, and Omaruru with essential services.
Mount Erongo, the region's namesake, rises from ancient volcanic formations created 130 million years ago through magma cooling processes.
