Location

On the Kunene River, upstream of Epupa Falls. Read our Epupa Falls guide for the best time to visit and how to get there. See our Namibia guide for parks, seasons and getting there.

Getting there

The nearest town is Opuwo, Kaokoland. Fly into Windhoek Hosea Kutako (WDH), then 2 days by road or charter flight. Epupa Camp works well combined with 10 Days Namibia: Etosha & Epupa Falls.

Things to do from Epupa Camp

Epupa Falls, a series of cascades where the Kunene drops through palm-lined channels, are a short walk away. Climbing the hill above the falls at sunset is a highlight. Visits to Himba homesteads should be arranged with a local guide. Opuwo, the nearest town, is about three to four hours on gravel.

How long to stay

Two nights is the minimum after the long drive in; three gives you time to enjoy the river. Epupa Falls: February–May, when the Kunene is high.

Rates vary by season and room type; ask for current rates and availability.
