The Himba The Kunene region is home to the nomadic Himba. It was a great privilege to be able to visit one of the communities.

Epupa Camp We stayed at the campsite at Epupa Camp. It's very popular, which is no suprise, as all of the 5-6 camping spots have super views to the river.

... Epupa Falls cont'd Down at the waterfall itself , the level of the water wa s quite low. We were told that it was abnormally low due to the lack of rainfall in the past few years.   You could see l arge trees that ha d been carried away by the water a nd were left resting on the rock s .

Northern Namibia - Kunene Region The Kunene Region is well worth a visit. The absolutely stunning Epupa Falls and the extremely interesting Himba we re only two of the many reasons we visited the area. I have to admit, I'm not that enthusiastic about waterfalls, but I hadn't seen anything like Epupa Falls before. It's possibly the most serene waterfall I've seen (we visited during the winter sea son, so it was quite calm ).  And the most beautiful, especially when admiring the view from the nearby hill.

Zambezi Region (Caprivi Strip) After driving in Southern and Central Namibia and in the remoter areas of Botswana, the Zambezi Region seemed quite lively, almost crowded! We needed to keep an eye out for the livestock, especially when the sun started to set and the animals were heading home.
