Kunene River
Lodge Namibia has a lot to offer - from stunning sunsets over the Kunene
valley to raging white water action, or simply waking up to the twittering of
birds. Situated on the
banks of the Kunene River, 50 km west of the Ruacana Falls and 100
km 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 8-man as well as small 2-man
rafts are available.
The lodge employs APA trained guides on a permanent basis and can handle large
groups with the necessary care and expertise.
The level of the river permitting, river boarding can be done along with
rafting. Although our rafting operations are concentrated on the Ondorussu
Gorge, we also offer tailor-made rafting trips of up to 5 days. Our 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.

Kunene River Lodge is very popular for it's bird life. Although the Riverine
Forest offers a rich and varied bird life, many people actually find the bird
life more concentrated in the camp itself. You can also spoil yourself with an
early morning birding trip downstream with the sun rising behind you and enjoy
a cup of coffee while you watch the bird life from close up on the river bank,
drifting in a raft towards the Ondoto River. 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, enjoying your favourite drink.
