OMARUNGA CAMP

 

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.
