The Region has a surface of 8653 km2, including a portion of the Etosha National Park where Okaukuejo Rest Camp is situated.

According to the National census report of 2011; Oshana Region has a population of 176,674 of which 96, 559 are female and 80, 115 are male. The population annual growth rate is 0.9 percent. 55% of the population lived in the rural areas while 45% lived in the urban areas.

The northern portion of the region, inclusive of the three urban centres of Oshakati, Ongwediva, and Ondangwa is densely populated as opposed to the central part of the region which is sparsely populated and characterized by subsistence farming. English is the official language while the predominantly spoken language in the region is Oshiwambo. Other languages such as Afrikaans, Portuguese and other Namibian languages are sparsely spoken.

The extremely flat topography of the Oshana Region is characterized by the Oshana system, which dominates the central area.  This is a complex ephemeral system of broad, shallow, vegetated channels that flows south out of Angola after good rains, meandering through the sandy soils and mostly ending in large pans.
