Wonderful experience
Long trip but worth it! Amazing location. Great activity to meet the Himbas with a guide from the community. Self-service dinner with a broad range of meals. Viewpoint on the falls not to be missed

Stunning stay
A beautiful lodge on the bank of the Kunene River. Our room looked onto the water as it fell over the waterfall, so you could see the mist rising from the waterfall

Accommodation Description
Epupa Falls Lodge offers full-board waterside chalets overlooking the cascading water and Kunene River in North West Namibia. Located in one of the most remote and untouched corners of the country, the lodge provides an extraordinary blend of comfort and wilderness, where guests can enjoy a truly immersive nature experience. The lodge is renowned for its unique setting, with each chalet designed to offer the best views of the spectacular Epupa Falls and the surrounding landscapes. It is not only a tranquil retreat but also a place that fosters a deep connection with the environment and the local Himba culture.
The lodge features five free-standing river-view chalets elevated on stilts, each accommodating two guests. These chalets are equipped with fans, and en-suite bathrooms with showers, and offer stunning views of the Kunene River and Epupa Falls. For couples seeking seclusion, the honeymoon chalet offers a private setting with amenities such as a fan, small bar fridge, lounge area, and en-suite bathroom.
Setting Description
Located along the banks of the Kunene River in North West Namibia, Epupa Falls Lodge is surrounded by lush vegetation and ancient baobab trees, blending seamlessly into its natural environment. The main lodge, perched on a wooden deck, houses the dining and bar areas, offering panoramic views of the river and waterfalls. A swimming pool, situated on a higher level behind the campsites, provides an ideal spot to relax and escape the midday heat. The lodge's design incorporates 90% local materials, reflecting a harmonious integration with the surrounding landscape.
. Guests can visit a traditional Himba village to engage with the local community, gaining insight into their daily lives and customs. For those seeking to explore the stunning landscape, guided walks along the Kunene River provide the chance to observe the region’s diverse birdlife and unique flora. One of the most remarkable experiences is witnessing the Epupa Falls at sunset, where the golden hues of the setting sun cast a magical glow over the falls and surrounding scenery. Guests can also take part in guided tours to learn about the geology of the area and the powerful forces that shaped the falls.

The Epupa Falls remain the main attraction while the Himba people come a close second.
For the returning traveller, it is the isolation of the Epupa area that appeals.
Epupa Falls Lodge falls under the Kunene Region or Kaokoland as it used to be called. A mountainous area with very little life for the traveler in a hurry.
On closer inspection, you will not only find the very interesting nomadic Himba, but also an incredibly wide range of plant and bird life.
