Omarunga Camp

Lodges in Kaokoland - Namibia

On the banks of the Kunene river, only a short walk upstream from the spectacular Epupa Falls, lies Omarunga Camp. Hidden in the shade of the exotic Makalani palm trees, this little paradise is definitely one of Namibia's most secluded getaways. The lush vegetation along the majestic Kunene forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding Kaokoland.

Guests at Omarunga will be tempted to just relax and absorb the breathtaking scenery of the mountains on the Angolan side of the river and indulge themselves in the personal attention and European style hospitality of the managers, but there is a whole variety of activities awaiting them too!

Guests can explore the spectrum of smaller waterfalls created by the approximate 800 meters wide river system. The more adventurous may want to cool off in one of the crocodile-safe pool just above the falls.

In our off-road vehicle accompanied by our local translator, we offer excursions to the famous Himba who inhabit this area. Largely untouched by modern civilisation the Ovahimba still live much as they did centuries ago. Guests visit one of the typical small villages where they can experience the traditional way of the Himbas with an inside view of how they herd and milk their cattle, build their houses and create their own jewellery. As Omarunga only caters for small groups a personal and undisturbed interaction with the Himba can be achieved.

Omarunga offers comfortable tents, all separately located and fitted out with comfortable wooden beds, tables and quality bed linen. Washbasins are located adjacent to every individual tent, furthermore hot and cold showers are provided.
