Kunene River Lodge
Ruacana1:00 from Ruacana
In the vast wilderness of north-west Namibia, the lodge is situated on the bank of the mighty Kunene river, overlooking Angola.
Kunene River Lodge began life as an impromptu rest camp on the long, arduous 4x4 trail from Epupa to Ruacana. In 2005, Pete and Hillary Morgan fell in love with the lodge, took it over, and have since devoted themselves to improving its facilities and reputation.
The lodge offers spacious deluxe rooms, rustic chalets, a campsite as well as a swimming pool which is located in a secluded lawn with seating and hammock under the trees. Excellent meals are served in it's restaurant which shares with the bar a delightful wooden deck overhanging the river - ideal for sundowners or evening meals and bright and sunny for breakfast in the morning.
With the river close by, there are several water-based activities at Kunene River Lodge. As one of Namibia's foremost rafting operations they offer a thrilling taster through the rapids of the Ondorusu Gorge, a day long adventure or a tailor-made expedition to Epupa Falls, camping under the stars. All with full backup and under the expert supervision of our resident Guides.
Enjoy your sundowner overlooking the Kunene Valley with the sun setting over the Zebra Mountains, or you can take part in a sundowner cruise with a difference, quietly floating down the Kunene River, sipping your favorite drink.The choice is yours.
