The Camp
Omarunga Epupa-Falls Camp
Omarunga Epupa-Falls Camp, part of the Gondwana Collection, stands under tall Makalani palms on the bank of the Kunene River, the border between Namibia and Angola. The river flows past the camp and the sound of Epupa Falls is never far away.
There are 14 tented chalets, each with its own bathroom, mosquito nets, a fan and a veranda with a view of the river. The camp has a restaurant, a bar and an outdoor pool with a deck, and there is a campsite too.
From the camp you can walk the trails along the river, look for crocodiles with a guide, drive up to a viewpoint above the falls for sundowners, and visit a Himba village with a local guide. Rafting on the Kunene is offered in season.
