How to Get to Kunene River Lodge

Your Holiday Adventure of a Lifetime starts the moment you step on Namibian soil for the first time. There are only two ways of reaching us :-

• By Air and Road Transfer
By far the easiest way is to charter or hire a light aircraft to fly into Ruacana or Swartbooisdrift airstrip. KRL will then provide a transfer to the Lodge, although flying into Swartbooisdrift requires that you circle the Lodge first to make contact and arrange the transfer. Flying over large stretches of Namibia is, of course, a perfect way to get a different perspective on the amazing variety of spectacular landscapes.

• Independently by Road
Roads throughout most of Namibia are relatively easy to negotiate, but gravel roads far outnumber tarred. In the rugged northern region of Kaokoland, even untarred roads are rare and the only routes to KRL are via Opuwo, Ruacana or Epupa via Epembe. 4 x 4 vehicles can tackle the riverside road from Epupa only in the dry season. The spectacular scenery makes driving an exciting adventure. But, your vehicle must be up to the job and you should be equipped to deal with emergencies. Mobile phone coverage now extends to Opuwo and Ruacana.
