Location
:
On
the banks of the Kunene river, only a short walk upstream from
the spectacular Epupa Falls, lies Omarunga Camp. 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 magestic Kunene forms a sharp contrast
with the surrounding Kaokoland.
Guests
at Omarunga will be tempted to just relax and absorb the breathtaking
scenery of the mountains on the Angolan side of the river and
indulge themselves in the personal attention and European style
hospitality of our managers, but there is a whole variety of
activities awaiting them too! They can explore the spectrum
of smaller waterfalls created by the approximate 800 meters
wide river system. The more adventurous ones may want to cool
off in one of the crocodile-safe pool just above the falls.
In our off-road vehicle and in the accompaniment of our local
translator, we offer excursions to the famous Himba who inhabit
this area.
Largely untouched by modern civilization the Ovahimba still
live mach as they did centuries ago. We will take our guests
to one of the typical small villages where they can experience
the traditional way of the Himbas. They will get an inside view
of how they herd and milk their cattle, build their houses and
create their own jewelers. As Omarunga only caters for small
groups a personal and undisturbed interaction with the Himba
can be achieved.
