Exciting New 4 Day Rafting and Camping Expedition
In line with our on-going commitment to improve our facilities and activities our Rafting Team has recently devised a new 4 day Expedition from Kunene River Lodge to Epupa Falls.
For the more adventurous, this is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to navigate the mighty Kunene River through one of the last remaining great wilderness areas of Africa.
As you paddle the 100 km from Kunene River Lodge to the magnificent Epupa Falls you will have an unparallelled opportunity to view the river- and bird-life and, along some stretches, people of the Himba tribe living in their traditional manner.
Apart from these more relaxing periods of paddling, you will also encounter the challenges of rapids along the way.
At all times you will be accompanied by our fully trained Rafting Guides who will also set up the camp each night and prepare all your meals.
We can accommodate groups of 2-8 people with or without vehicle backup.
This 4-day Expedition includes 5 nights' camping including first night at Kunene River Lodge before setting off.
We provide either return transfer to Kunene River Lodge, or we can arrange to have your vehicle(s) waiting for you at Epupa Falls, after your last night of camping, so you can continue your onward journey from there.
This really is an unmissable opportunity to experience nature and the lonely existence of the local Himba people in a landscape which has changed little since the beginning of time
Where else can you do this? What are you waiting for?
