Epupa Camp



(12 tents) PO Box 90466, 5 Robert Mugabe Av, Windhoek; tel: 061 246427; fax: 061 246428/225084
On the palm-fringed banks of the Kunene, 700m east of the main falls, the tents here have solar-powered lights, mosquito-netted doors and windows, and they share toilets and showers.

Activities include walks around the local area and guided visits to a local Himba village. The camp makes much of its 'sound ecological policy', and works closely with the local community. To reach it a charter aircraft or fully equipped 4WD is needed. Flying is the best way to arrive, but if you drive then the easiest route is from Opuwo via Okongwati (about 200km, of which the last 80km are the worst). Note there is no help on this route if an emergency occurs. As with anywhere in this area, you ought to be in a party of at least two 4WDs with experienced drivers.
