One of the highlights of Kaokoland in the far northern reaches of Namibia, Epupa Falls is rapids in a magical belt of makalani palm forest on the perennial Kunene River. There’s something special about this Kaokoland refuge 180km north of Opuwo, where the Kunene River plunges into the gorge below. Baobab trees cling to the rocky slopes as torrents of water rumble and tumble down the rocks with a flash of rainbow and an invigorating burst of wonder.

Two hundred metres upstream from the cascading falls, Omarunga Epupa Falls Camp is a cosy thatched lodge on the riverbank set under the palms, and the perfect place from which to experience Epupa enchantment. Dine with a river view and wake to the music of the falls and the sound of palm thrushes singing in the trees. Let Epupa lull you into a peaceful reverie.

In between rest and relaxation, there is much to experience here. Take the golden opportunity to visit the Himba, one of the last semi-nomadic groups in Africa; get your courage in check for a guided walk in search of the Kunene crocs or a rafting trip on the river (seasonal); and follow trails downstream keeping eyes open for our avian friends who favour this riverine habitat. And at sunset join the sundowner drive to a hill overlooking Epupa Falls for that time of day when everything pauses for beauty and celebration.

Epupa Falls (also known as Monte Negro Falls in Angola) is a series of large waterfalls created by the Kunene River on the border of Angola and Namibia, in the Kaokoland area of the Kunene Region. The river is about 0.5 kilometres wide in this area and drops in a series of waterfalls across a length of 1.5 kilometres, with the greatest single drop being 37 metres in height.

The name "Epupa" is a Herero word for "foam", in reference to the foam created by the falling water. The Epupa Constituency is named for the falls.

Namibia: Omarunga Camp gallery | Омарунга Кемп Намибия

Omarunga Camp is located on the banks of the Kunene River, only a short walk upstream from the spectacular Epupa Falls. Hidden in the shade of the exotic Makalani palmtrees, this little paradise is definitely one of Namibia's most secluded getaways. The lush vegetation along the majestic Kunene forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding Kaokoland mountains and dusty plains.

Namibia: video Himba tribe | Намибия: танцы и пение племени Химба

Namibia Himba people singing & dancing/Намибия: танцы и пение племени Химба

Himba, the ancient tribe of semi-nomadic pastoralists occupied Damaraland and Kaokoland of Kunene Region of the country. The Himbas (who are relatives of Herero) are an extraordinary people who have resisted change and preserved their unique cultural heritage.
The Himbas were impoverished by Nama cattle raiders in the middle of 1800's and then forced to  be hunter-gatherers. Because of these events they were called the Tjimba, derived form the word meaning aardvark, the animal that digs for it's food. Many Himbas fled to Angola where they were called Ovahimba, meaning "beggars". They left with their leader called Vita ("war"). After World War One he resettled his people in Kaokoland.
Since these events the Himbas were living their nomadic pastoralist lives. But now more and more they have to reconcile traditional ways with European values.
One of most interesting rituals of these people is that of the ritual fire, the "okoruwo". The fire provides contact between the living and the dead, which is necessary for harmonious living and keeping the ancestors happy. It is kept alive until the death of the headman. When this happens, his hut and the fire is destroyed. His family dance in mourning throughout the night. Before his burial everyone says to him: "Karepo nawa" ("keep well"). Later a fresh mopane tree is lit from the embers of the old fire.

Namibia: Omarunga Lodge Kaokoland | Омарунга Каоколенд, Намибия

#Omarunga #EpupaFalls #Kaokoland #KuneneRegion #Opuwo #Himba #Ruacana #Омарунга #Намибия #Каоколенд #Ангола #Руакана

Omarunga Lodge
Omarunga Lodge in the far north of the Kunene Region enchants with its unique location just 200 metres upstream from the spectacle of Epupa Falls. The Lodge offers 12 en-suite twin chalets and 1 Honeymoon suite, all with river view. The chalets and the 10 spacious campsites are shaded by swaying Makalani palm trees. Meals can be enjoyed on the restaurant terrace with a magnificent view of the Kunene River.

The Epupa area has much to offer: stunning sunsets, imposing mountain ranges, an interesting birdlife and a glorious riverine landscape. The area is home to the Himba tribes who still lead a traditional way of life. Various activities provide variety and fun. Go hiking on well-maintained trails along the Kunene River, participate in a guided visit to a Himba village or join nature drives and seasonal rafting tours.

Omarunga Lodge can be reached from Opuwo (180 kilometres) via C43/D3700. The alternative track from Ruacana to Epupa via Swartbooisdrift is not for the faint-hearted and should only be tackled by experienced 4x4 drivers.

Namibia: Epupa Falls Camp | Эпупа Кемп Намибия

EpupaCamp #Kaokoland #Namibia #Angola #KuneneRiver #EpupaFalls #Africa #ЭпупаКемп #Намибия

Namibia: Epupa Camp

Epupa Camp offers you a relaxing yet exhilarating few days of personalised service and excellent meals in the seclusion of a lush riverine wilderness of ana trees, wild figs, Makalani palms and African baobabs.
Epupa Camp is situated on the southern bank of the Kunene River, from which the Kunene Region in the northwest of Namibia, takes its name. Epupa Falls, acclaimed by many international travel writers as a must-see tourism destination, is about as far north as you can drive in Namibia.
Epupa Camp offers three kinds of accommodation, namely tented rooms, self-catering tented-campsites and traditional campsites, where you do the do-it-yourself-roughing-it, or the city-sleeker caravan or rooftop camping.
