Kunene River Lodge

Vast landscapes, wildlife and historic culture abound in this wild, remote part of Africa where the Kunene River forms a natural boundary between Namibia and Angola.

Discover Kunene River Lodge – one of the country’s most famous adventure centres, where adrenalin goes hand-in-hand with peace and tranquillity, in the most beautiful setting you could imagine.

Sited 50km west of Ruacana Falls and 100km east of the spectacular Epupa Falls, Kunene River Lodge nestles beneath a beautiful canopy of indigenous trees stretching down to the river.

In addition to its idyllic setting, facilities and in-house activities, the Lodge also serves as an ideal gateway for those setting out to explore the rugged and beautiful Kaokoland region of Namibia to the north-west. Indeed we can even offer you a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore it by river – where few have ventured before!
