We spent three nights at this wonderful lodge and really enjoyed the experience. We had a family visit with the Himba people which was excellent. Very informative and just the two of us and our guide, so many opportunities to ask questions. Fascinating lifestyle as they work so hard to preserve a gentler way fo life faced with all the... More

The 4X$ drive from Ruacana to the lodge is wonderful, than you enter this calm and peaceful haven, and you just don't want to ever leave. The personal touch is very much appreciated after having been a little disappointed by service at the state run NWR sites and the chain-owned lodgers. Campsites are perfect, the staff is wonderful, the activities... More

Just back from a great week at Kunene River Lodge which included an amazing 4 day rafting trip to Epupa. The lodge itself is a stunning location run by Pete & Hillary, who are a great team, and their very friendly and competent staff. We had a most beautiful sundowner with a double rainbow in one direction and the sun... More

So much to do, and so little time to do it all. White water rafting was most exhilerating, hurtling down white rapids with expert guides. Bird life is so plentiful and colourful. Sundowner trip up the Kunene river itself has to be experienced to be believed----just another world as you glide silently down stream sipping pre-selected drinks & nibbles while... More

We were met by the owners Hilary and Peter who instantly made us feel welcome and at home. The location of this lodge is absolutely stunning - after travelling around the rest of Namibia which is full of dry river beds it is absolutely amazing to see a huge river flowing with such lush vegetation surrounding it. The rooms are... More

This place really stands out from any other lodge in Namibia with its lush green setting and stunning river. A unique pleasurable experience. The activities offer something for everyone, and make full use of the potential of the river. The sundowner cruises (see my photo!) offer a relaxing and sophisticated experience - we went in this boat using the motor... More

We visited Kunene River Lodge primarily for birdwatching. We received a fantastically warm reception from the owners, Peter and Hilary, with Rufous-tailed Palm-thrush seen almost immediately on arrival. Taking a chance by not booking in advance, the lodge was surprising full and so we camped. The campsite cannot be faulted, very clean with spotless ablution / shower facilities. The campsite... More

What a disappointment, on arrival at a 43 deg. hot day, we learn that the power in the room will only be on from 18h30 to 22h00, they only put it on by 18h50.So the Delux room at N$ 1275 with Aircon but no power on a very hot day and night, a ripoff.From 22h00 no alternative light as promist.No...

After a long drive - as any drive in Namibia is - we received an incredibly warm welcome by Peter and Hiliary, the owners. Our drinks were barely sipped when our scruptious dinner was served on the deck over-looking the Kunene River. Our luxury room was large with plenty of space to sprawl out in and air conditioned. All the... More
