The adjacent dining room and lounge area also face the Kunene River, along with a lounging pool for cooling down from the midday heat, or enjoying a glass of sparkling wine while watching the sunset. A small suspension bridge connects Epupa Falls Lodge with its own private island with hammocks, benches, and lounge chairs along the river to create your own little piece of paradise.

At Epupa, guests have a variety of activities to choose from, which include visits to the Himba settlement, self guided hikes along the river or into the surrounding hills to explore the flora and fauna of the Kaokoland and enjoy stunning views of the Kunene snaking its way through the dry desert landscape. Alternatively, a 4x4 game drives where you will enjoy sundowners whilst overlooking the Epupa Falls, as the surrounding desert landscape explodes in colours and fascinating shadows. Guests staying for 2 nights also have the option of enjoying their sundowner on one of the white sand beaches on our private island, overlooking the Kunene River. Additional activities include rafting for the more adventurous, and for bird enthusiasts we offer half-day river birding trips by boat, where our expert guide will point out some of our 238 different species that inhabit the Kunene region.
