The rugged north-western corner of Namibia known as the Kaokoland,
is a wild and untamed sector of the continent. This vast and awesome
region forged over the millennia by the forces of nature, has resulted
in a dry, parched landscape hostile to all other than those creatures
specially adapted to survival in the unforgiving landscape. The Himba
people, probably the most unchanged of indigenous cultures in Africa,
still exist in tandem with nature in this extraordinary wilderness.
Epupa Camp is situated east of the magnificent Epupa Falls,
overlooking the rapids through which the Kunene River flows.
It is a small luxury tented camp accommodating eighteen guests.
Each tent is fitted with electrical lights and mosquito netting
with en-suite bathroom facilities.
The Epupa Falls offer wonderful photographic opportunities, whilst
a visit to the Himba Village provides a fascinating insight into
an ancient lifestyle and culture, and full day and half day
canoeing trips are available on the Kunene River.
