Traveling many dusty kilometres through various versions of Himba villages, dodging goats and cattle, staring in awe at the rock marvels along the way and finally, one more hill and there it is… a green oasis of Makalani Palms hiding the very essence of this place; Epupa Falls. It has been here forever, since before the arrival of tour buses and self-drive tourists from every nation across the glo
be. Back in the day, it was only a campsite with a fantastic view, now it is both lodge and campsite at one of the most marvelous places in Namibia. The Cunene region is already very popular for the Ovahimba tribe, the river and the spectacular falls. From any of the 5 chalets you have a breath-taking view right onto the falls. The small amount of chalets ensures that you receive personal attention and treated as a special guest. Not only are the chalets built from mostly local materials, it is also built on stilts that bring you even closer to nature. When the view from your room isn’t good enough anymore, why not join us on the deck for drink from our very popular bar or even a snack from Christa’s kitchen? While enjoying an ice cold beer, you can tap the knowledge of Koos Verwey who has been here for no less than 23 years. He started here and is now synonymous with the far northwest of the Cunene region. He has a solid reputation with his dedication and loyalty to the local people. The experience of Koos in this area will ensure that your activities are special; whether you go on tour to the local people; go for a hike or a day journey through the area. Combine all this and flavour it with delicious homemade meals, this is the recipe for a well deserved break at EPUPA FALLS LODGE. Our prices are very competitive and certainly well worth the money you will spend considering the facilities on offer and the picture perfect location. Finally, Epupa Falls Lodge can be reached by any type of car during the dry season and the closest air strip is 7 km away.
