Overview & Location

Campsites on the riverbank are among the greatest places to set up tents, take out chairs and a good book and be lulled by the gentle river song. It’s time to leave behind day-to-day concerns and reconnect with nature. In this remote area, you are explorer and adventurer in a new and different world.

After a dusty drive of earthy colours with several baobabs marking the way, the verdant green band of Makalanis comes into view. Welcome to Omarunga Epupa-Falls Campsite! Epupa is a small Kunene River oasis, with local OvaHimba people dressed in traditional garb and the gentle flow of the river unaware of its exciting 40m plunge down the rocky gorge. 10 Campsites, with power points and shared ablution facilities are a perfect spot to become one with your surroundings.

Spend time absorbing the jubilant energy at Epupa Falls and partake in the exhilarating lodge activities. Join a guided visit to a Himba village, an exciting rafting tour or the sundowner walk to a spectacular viewpoint above the falls. Experiencing the great outdoors in places like Epupa lifts the soul, energises and inspires.

An adventurous 180km from Opuwo, the road will take you deep into the Kaokoland, ending on the banks of the Kunene River. Omarunga Epupa-Falls Campsite is an unexpected treat in the far north of Namibia.
