Lodge Overview

One of the highlights of Kaokoland in the far northern reaches of Namibia, Epupa is a magical belt of makalani palm forest on the perennial Kunene River. There’s something special about this refuge 180km north of Opuwo, where the Kunene River plunges into the gorge below. Baobab trees cling to the rocky slopes as torrents of water rumble and tumble down the rocks with a flash of rainbow. 

Two hundred metres upstream from the cascading falls, Omarunga Epupa-Falls Camp is a cosy thatched lodge on the riverbank set under the palms. 14 private tented rooms with en-suite bathrooms are equipped with coffee and tea facilities and mosquito nets to offer you surreal relaxation. Wake to the music of the falls and the sound of palm thrushes singing in the trees.

In between rest and relaxation, take the golden opportunity to visit the OvaHimba, one of the last semi-nomadic groups in Africa. Get your courage in check for a guided walk in search of the Kunene crocs or a rafting trip on the river (seasonal). Follow trails downstream keeping eyes open for our avian friends who favour this riverine habitat.

At sunset join the sundowner drive to a hill overlooking Epupa Falls for that time of day when everything pauses for beauty and celebration.
