How about a little oasis to refresh yourselves? Epupa Falls is a series of large waterfalls created by the Cunene River on the border of Angola and Namibia. Nowhere else in the world do you find a waterfall contrasted with such wild arid desert landscape.
Epupa Falls, acclaimed by many international travel writers as a must-see tourism destination, is about as far north as you can drive in Namibia. Let yourself be conquered by the exceptional beauty of the falls site where you will be able to admire a total of 22 waterfalls spread over the entire valley and between the baobab and palm trees hanging on the rocks along the river. This region is also the unique opportunity to meet the Himba trive and discover the rich culture of one of the last nomadic societies in Southern Africa. For the most adventurous of you follow our guide on a walk by the riverbanks, looking for crocodiles, or embark for a rafting trip full of adrenaline. At the end of the day, enjoy a gin and tonic watching as the surrounding desert landscape explodes in colours and fascinating shadows.
Epupa Camp is a simple but charming lodge on the southern banks of the Kunene River. Epupa Falls, acclaimed by many international travel writers as a must-see tourism destination, is about as far north as you can drive in Namibia.
Why we like it here
Activities available at the lodge include birding, fishing, hiking, relaxation and star-gazing.
Epupa Camp offers you a relaxing yet exhilarating few days of personalised service and excellent meals in the seclusion of a lush riverine wilderness of ana trees, wild figs, makalani palms and baobabs.
The ten comfortable safari-style tents consist of eight twin tented rooms, one honeymoon tented room with a queen-sized bed and a four-bed family tented room, all with en suite bathrooms. The tents have electrical lights and mosquito netting at the windows and doors. Shaded patios in front of the tents overlook the Kunene River on its flow to the Atlantic Ocean.
Apart from our private island and swimming pool with a river view, our facilities include an outdoor bar with free wifi, lounge with small library and dining room.
Things to be aware of
Full board and accommodation.
Epupa Camp offers three kinds of accommodation, namely tented rooms, self-catering tented-campsites and traditional campsites, where you do the do-it-yourself-roughing-it, or the city-sleeker caravan or rooftop camping.
