Guest Reviews
- Van Dyk (5/5): Except from the stan itself, everything other was fine. - We did self catering Stand of camp site slope down, not level and no shade. Open in sun most of the day.
- Lars Willard Kevin (10/5): -
- Nicole (10/5): -
- Giulia (10/5): Campeggio immerso nel verde - Ottimo campeggio, direttamente sul fiume e a due passi dalle cascate. Possibilitá di cenare in loco con splendida vista. I bagni condivisi erano puliti. Scarsa illuminazione dei bagni.
- Jolanta (10/5): -
- Henk (9/5): Mooie lodge direct aan de rivier en vlakbij de watervallen - We hadden een prima lodge/tent, incl eigen sanitair.
Er stond een fan in de tent en die levert iets verkoeling en is lekker.
Eten en ontbijt erg goed.
- TERESA (9/5): - Esta justo a la orilla del río Kunene que iba lleno de agua. Un espectáculo. Las plazas del Campsite son grandes y tien todos los servicios. Piscina agradable, Buen restaurante y baños súper limpios con agua caliente Que llegó un grupo enorme de campistas tarde en la noche y estuvieron de tertulia hasta las tantas.

- Alessandra Del Puglia (8/5): Nice location and swimming pool - Half of the campsites are nicely located along the river with lots of shade. We prepared our bbq at sunset and it was really lovely. The shared toilets are spacious and clean, with hot water. The swimming pool is also nice with umbrellas and sunbeds. The restaurant and bar are beautiful and have a view on the river. There are friendly guides available for tours to Himba villages or hikes along the river. The staff is ok but could do with some more smiling and kindness. The river was higher than expected and there was a warning on river flooding, but the staff couldn't really tell how much risky it was to overnight there... Mobile data are not working and they give you free wifi up to 300MB per day. If you want extra data it's 500MB for 100 N$ or 1GB for 200 N$. Even so, free wifi is extremely slow. Dinner is only buffet (not à la carte) and price is 415 N$ per person, drinks excluded, which is expensive considering what you get and Namibian prices. Breakfast is also buffet and it's 240 N$ per person.
- Urs (9/5): Sehr gutes Camp für einen Besuch der Epupa-Fälle. - Lage direkt am Fluss, 150 m von den Wasserfällen entfernt. Saubere Anlage. Schöner Pool. Angenehmer Barbereich. Bei starkem Wind sind die Stellplätze unter den Palmen lebensgefährlich wegen herunterfallenden Palmblättern und -samen. Bettelkinder vor dem Tor waren nervig.

- Paul (8/5): Aufenthalt mindestens 2 Nächte bei langem Anfahrtsweg - Sehr schöne Lage am Kunene Grenzfluss nahe der Epupafälle. Gutes Restaurant mit Bar und nettem Servicepersonal.
Schöner Pool.
- Weenink (8/5): - Betalen voor wifi.
- ESPLA (10/5): - Andrew est une belle personne. Accueillant, serviable et à l'écoute de ses clients.
- Norbert (9/5): Campsites am Kuneneriver Ufer unter Palmen gelegen - Bekamen Campsite direkt am Kuneneriver mit Stromanschluss (hatte schlechte Kühlschrankbatterie) und und herrlichen Blick auf Angola.
- DanieleF71 (9/5): Ottima posizione - Ottimo campeggio, posizionato proprio sul fiume a due passo dalle cascate. La piazzola è dotata di energia elettrica. Bagni puliti con sufficienti alloggi per bagno e doccia.
- Alex (10/5): - Расположение, персонал. Всё очень удобно и продумано.
- Peters (10/5): Afrika pur - Afrika pur. Essen im Restaurant sehr gut
- DorotaCh. (9/5): Beautiful place with river view - Very good location with beautiful views. Very good restaurant with friendly staff and tasty food. Very clean. Very nice swimming pool. You should take care of palm trees. During strong wind and rain dry palm leaves and nuts were falling on cars and tents and damaged one car.
- DARLINGTON (10/5): - Almost everything. Serene surroundings. Lovely staff. Excellent facilities with exquisite views. An arrogant and rude supervisor (guy with a beard and facial tribal marks). Does NOT understand guest relations whatsoever (or was it coz we were black 🤔)
- Wilhelm (9/5): - Beautiful location and good facilities Food and activities a bit pricey
- Uwe (10/5): -
- Yolanda (8/5): - The waterfall although small its still makes an impression. The local staff at the resort makes up for negative as local kids was up to no good (a minor incident). Not had wide variety to keep ones attention. Markets are small everyone has the same stock.
- Natalia (10/5): Лучший кемп в Намибии - Это лучший кемпинг в Намибии из тех, где мы были. Все чисто и ухоженно. Горячая вода. Огромные душевые и туалеты. На каждом кемпинге есть электричество, кранчик с водой, свет. Очень красивый вид на реку. До водопада идти минут 15 максимум. Есть бар и ресторан. Отличный бассейн с теплой водой Нет бесплатного wi-fi. Только платный за 100 NAD за 300 МБ. Если был бы wi-fi, то можно и 11 звезд поставить.
- Tina (8/5): - Schöne Campsite, quasi direkt an den Epupa Fällen (5 Minuten Spaziergang), die Campsites liegen direkt am Kunene River, die Bar ist schön, man bekommt klasse Essen im Restaurant!
- Jiri (10/5): -
- Rafal (10/5): Cudowne miejsce. - Camp położony nad samą rzeką, blisko wodospadu. Teren ogrodzony , bezpieczny, porośnięty palmami które chronią od słońca. Czysto, dużo miejsca na biwak.
- René (8/5): -
- H (10/5): -
- fanny (9/5): - Un magnifique emplacement au bord de la rivière
Dés sanitaires propres Le personnel moyennement agréable
Et la piscine pas propre
- Guido (9/5): Professionalità e cortesia in posizione strategica - Posizione, professionalità e accoglienza
- Isabel (8/5): -
- Thilo (7/5): Wenn ich wieder zu den Epupa Falls gehen sollte, würde ich wieder dort übernachten - Die Lage, 5min zu Fuß zu den Epupa Falls Haben im eigenen Camper übernachtet
- AMEL (9/5): - Emplacement au pied des chutes (10 min à pied) donc très agréable. Points de départ pour des randonnées. Il y a aussi des personnes proposant de laver votre linge.
Oasis de verdure au bord du Kunene après 3h de route depuis Opuwo (d'ailleurs, on vous demandera peut-être de ramener des gens depuis Epupa vers Opuwo).
Places de camping proches les unes des autres, plutôt petites mais ça allait pour une nuit. Sanitaires et douches communes, très propres et fonctionnels. seul bémol lors de notre séjour, la présence des guêpes ou abeilles sur l'emplacement 2 en journée.
- PIE (8/5): A pochi metri dalle cascate - La posizione del campeggio a 1 metro dal fiume kunene
- debby (10/5): Oase van comfort in prachtige omgeving - Relaxte sfeer en prachtige omgeving. De campsite is direct aan de Kunene rivier. Je staat onder de palmbomen en valt in slaap met het geruis van de watervallen op de achtergrond. Ook leuke activiteiten. De sun downer en river walk waren niet alleen mooi, maar ook heel leuk om te kletsen over de grote veranderingen en de transitie van het traditionele himba bestaan naar een modern leven. Niks
- isabelle (8/5): - Cadre superbe
- Manuel (10/5): -
- Adrien (9/5): Camping très charmant au bord de la rivière Kunene - Jolie camping en bord de rivière Kunene
Piscine agréable
Resto correct
Toilette/douche très grand, en nombre et propre
A 2 pas des chutes d'Epupa Paiement en cash des activités comme le rafting. Nous ne le savions pas et n'avions plus rien en repartant. Évidemment Pas de distributeur dans le village
Prévoir suffisamment d'espèces
Attention aux chutes de palmes des palmiers situées au au-dessus du campement

- Elena (6/5): -
- Szymon (10/5): -
- audrey (9/5): - Emplacement parfait juste à côté des chutes, espace sanitaire, linge avec des fils pour étendre. Sinon demandez à quelqu'un pour une lessive, faire une visite guidée vous trouverez toujours. Dans le petit village, vous trouverez une épicerie pour acheter de la farine, pâtes...
- Manon (9/5): - Les sanitaires sont grands et propres, la piscine très agréable et proche des cascades Les emplacements sont un peu plus petits que certains autres camp mais suffisant
- alessandra (10/5): -

Restaurant and bar
Nice gift shop
Close to the trail to the falls
Local craft market
- Leigh Steenkamp (10/5): Great place!!! This was our second visit and we will be back for a longer stay for sure - We were camping, and of the 15 places we stayed, Omarunga was right at the top of our list. The ablution facilities are well thought through, big and clean. We had power and camped on the banks of the Kunene. Great fishing, great hiking, beautiful scenery Nothing!! Road there has been many dips, but if you want to see the beautiful camp, only one road in!
- stefania (9/5): - La posizione , la semplicità e la tranquillità
Abbiamo cenato nel ristorante del lodge e ci siamo trovati molto bene, sia come cibo che come prezzo
- Mateusz (10/5): -
- Axel (10/5): - Tolle Lage mit Blick auf den Kunene.
Schattige Stellplätze und einen sauberen Pool gibt es auch
In dem dazugehörigen Restaurant kann man lecker essen.
Dieser Campingplatz ist absolut zu empfehlen.
Unbedingt die Wanderung zu den Epupa Falls machen!
Aber nicht zu früh umdrehen, damit man auch alles sieht !
- Jacek (8/5): - Bardzo dobrze utrzymany i położony kamping. Wspólne łazienki czyste. Duże miejsca prysznicowe.
- Linda (9/5): - The place was neat and stands are spacious There were no hot water in the showers in the morning
- Johan (10/5): -
- Dyer (10/5): Enjoyed every moment - Campsite right by the Kunene River
- Johan (10/5): -
- Anneke (9/5): Lovely experience of the Epupa Falls!! - Basic camping areas, but lovely, situated along the Kunene. Five minutes' walk to the Falls! Very nice atmosphere. Lovely swimming pool. Clean ablusions.
- Caroline (10/5): -
- Hans (9/5): Sehr schöne zwei Tage - Lage #
- Günter (9/5): Weite Anfahrt, aber es lohnt sich - Super Lage am Wasserfall Nichts
- Caroline (10/5): -
- CAMILLE (10/5): super séjour - l’emplacement
- Kate (9/5): Worth the drive 💯 - Absolutely stunning campsite! You just can’t get over the campsite in the palms and so close to the river. Stunning pool and bar/dining area, dinner at the lodge was very nice and would recommend. Very relaxing and just beautiful to be there and see the falls. Ablution blocks very clean and spacious. Laundry offered on site which was great. The whole lodge and camp are Solar powered too 👍🏻
The dirt road drive leaving Opuwo was not great. It was extremely long and slow. I timed us on the way back and we left at 7.30am and arrived back in Opuwo at 11am :/ I would suggest for travelers to stay as close to Opuwo as possible the night before arrival because that dirt road took ages.
There was also no signage along the route from Omarunga? Which I found a little strange for a Gondwana Collective camp. There was a spray painted ‘Epupa Falls 36km’ on a rock and that was about it.
I would suggest a worktop/wooden bench with sink per each campsite. There was nowhere to put anything so it felt like we were always bringing things in and out of the car or it had to sit on our eating table or on the floor in the sand. Also then we could wash dishes at our site instead of having to carry it here and there.
- Cécile (9/5): Joli camping bien équipé sur un site fabuleux. - Le camping est décrit sur le site comme "basique" mais ce n'est pas le cas : bar, resto, grande piscine et sur l'emplacement eau et électricité. Le site est magnifique propice à de jolies balades guidés vers les chutes.
- Patrick (10/5): -
- Christof (9/5): - This was one of the most expensive we ever booked.
- Mommer (7/5): -
- Christophe (10/5): Superbe campsite au bord de l'eau. - Magnifique campsite au bord de la rivière avec des sanitaires très propres. Le restaurant est très agréable. Les excursions sont très chères pour ce que c'est. Les sanitaires du campsite ne sont séparés que par des petites parois, il y a un manque d'intimité.
- Karl (10/5): Direkt an den Epupa Falls - Die Lage direkt an den Wasserfällen, das freundliche Personal Nichts
- HJP (9/5): Jederzeit wieder. - Es hat alles gepasst.

Idéal pour ce reposer quelques jours avant de reprendre les pistes Rien. Tout est bien pensé.

- Marion (8/5): Évasion -
- Beat (8/5): -
- Eva (5/5): - Love the place, the pool, the staff members who were friendly and helpful like Simon and Karumendu. When Fritz Schenk was the owner the loose palm leaves were torn out of the palm trees on a weekly basic. Gondwana stopped this and now my sister go heard at her neck, when yhe palm leaves fell down on our camp site in the wind while we were peacefully cutting food. We are lucky nothing really bad happened. 2 kitchen ladys laughed about me when my sister go injured and I asked them when last were the palm leaves pulled down. Their comment: Do you know how expensive this is AND LAUGHTER. I hate those changes to this wonderful place and camp and cant understand that the experience of the former owner are not valued.
- Cornelia (9/5): - Nice campsite literally next to the falls and river. The restaurant and pool area are relaxing, with very friendly and helpful staff. There is braai facilities for each campsite. There is no table space for a fridge or preparation of meals.
- Małgorzata (10/5): -
- Jonas (1/5): - Gar nichts. Die Campsides waren extrem dicht beieinander. Das Personal bei der Lösung des Problems nicht hilfreich!
Schlechteste Campside seit Jahren!!
Nie wieder würde ich dort hin Alles!!
Ich kann niemandem raten dort Urlaub zu machen
- Delval Alisson (10/5): - Fabuleux, notre coup de ❤️, on ne voulait plus repartir... campsite tout confort au bord de la rivière Kunene donc couché et levé du soleil magique. A 5 min des chutes Epupa falls, c'était whaou!!! Et le plus mémorable pour nous, notre rencontre avec les locaux et les Himbas .Sans oublier le personnel très attentionné, thanks.
