From stunning sunsets over the Kunene valley to raging white water action, or simply waking up to the twittering of birds, Kunene River Lodge has a lot to offer. Situated on the banks of the Kunene River, 50km west of the Ruacana Falls and 100km east of the Epupa Falls, the rustic Kunene River Lodge is an excellent destination. The Lodge offers bungalows with en-suite facilities, campsites, restaurant, bar, pool, shop and much more. Activities include white water rafting and river boarding, bird watching, sundowner cruises, canoeing, hiking, fishing and mountain biking.
Kunene River Lodge has been offering white water rafting since the beginning of 1996 and has a large in-house rafting operation, equipped exclusively with top quality rafting equipment made by ARK. Large 6-man as well as small 2-man rafts are available. Kunene River Lodge employs SARA trained guides on a permanent basis and can handle large groups with the neccessary care and expertise.
The level of the river permitting, river boarding can be done along with rafting. Although rafting operations are concentrated on the Ondoruzu Gorge, Kunene River Lodge can also offer tailor-made rafting trips of up to 5 days.
Quad Bike trips offers the nature lover an exhilarating experience into the secluded areas of the Zebra Mountains where one can see some of the most untouched parts in Africa and see the Himba people in their ways as they have been living for hundreds of years.
An early morning birding trip downstream is a real treat, with the sun rising behind you and enjoy a cup of coffee while you watch the birdlife from close up on the river bank, floating quietly towards the Ondoto. Kunene River Lodge is very popular for its birdlife. Although the Riverine Forest offers a rich and varied birdlife, many people actually find the birdlife more concentrated in the camp itself.
You can enjoy your sundowner overlooking the Kunene Valley with the sun setting over the Zebra Mountains, or you can take part in a sundowner cruise with a difference, quietly floating down the Kunene River, sipping your favourite drink.
