Kunene, Namibia

Namibia Mobile Guided Camping Safari

Day 1: Early morning breakfast and departure from the Palmwag Lodge. Head in a northerly direction past some herero villages at Anabib en route to Kaoko Otavi, an old Dorsland trek settlement, to the southwest of Opuwo. There you will have an encounter with the first nomadic Ovahimba tribe. After a brief stop in Kaoko Otavi, the safari continues in a westerly direction via smaller Ovahimba settlements and villages. Camp for the night is erected in the picturesque Hoarusib river valley, a dry riverbed coursing through this barren land of the Ovahimbas. Camping on a full board basis.

Day 2: From here the trail follows the ancient river bed in a northerly direction into the centre of Kaokoland. You will have various encounters with local Ovahimba herdsmen and their families en route. The trail leads over beautiful mountain ranges and densely vegetated river beds on its way towards the Kunene River. Another night of wild camping in true nature in this untouched barren piece of the beautiful north western Kaokoland . Camping on a full board basis.

Day 3: Today the safari reaches its prize destination, the Epupa Falls on the mighty Kunene River, which forms the border between Namibia and Angola. Enough time is spent to explore the majestic falls on an adventurous walk along the falls followed by a welcoming swim in one of the upper rapids of the falls. Overnight camping is on the banks of the Kunene River on a full board basis.

Day 4: Pack up camp and head back towards Palmwag Lodge via the village of Okangwati, a village and major trading station of the himba and herero living in this area. There will be a short refueling stop at Opuwo before continuing via Sesfontein to Palmwag Lodge. Picnic lunch en route with brief visit at the Ongongo waterfall. You will arrive late afternoon at the Lodge in time to settle down for a relaxing sundowner.
