  • The Hoarusib River is an ephemeral river in the Kunene Region of north-western Namibia. Its source is near the regional capital Opuwo, and the river flows through the and into the Atlantic Ocean. The Hoarusib occasionally carries surface water during the rainy seasons in November and February/March. The catchment area of the Hoarusib is 15,237 square kilometres (5,883 sq mi). The name Hoarusib is thought to have originated from the geology of this stretch as the Nama word "!naruseb" means "water which twists and turns through a narrow gorge." It is known for its steep canyon walls of black and red volcanic rock, and the strange makalani palms which grows from the pips washed down from upstream. Also found near the bank are "clay castle" formations created by the gradual deposition and erosion of clay. (en)

La zona de captación del Hoarusib es de 15 237 kilómetros cuadrados.​ Se cree que el nombre Hoarusib se originó en la geología de este tramo ya que la palabra !naruseb significa «agua que se retuerce y gira a través de un estrecho desfiladero».​ Es conocido por sus escarpadas paredes de cañón de roca volcánica negra y roja, y por las extrañas palmeras makalani que crecen de las pepitas arrastradas desde río arriba. Cerca de la orilla también hay formaciones de castillo de arcilla creadas por la deposición y erosión gradual de la arcilla.​ (es)
