100% recommendable! We stayed here for 2 nights in a tented chalet next to river Kunene. Not many tourists travel up to the north of Namibia but it’s the breathtaking nature and the friendly people and delicious food are worth it!

A hidden treasure. Incredible service from the staff. The attention to detail in a place that is so remote was unexpected.
