Kunene River Lodge — White-Water Rafting Centre, Ruacana Area

Namibia’s foremost white-water rafting lodge, situated 50km west of Ruacana Falls and 100km east of Epupa Falls on the Kunene River — a perfectly positioned base for exploring both great Kunene waterfalls. Established in 1997, the lodge built its reputation as the premier rafting operation on the Kunene: multi-day rafting expeditions, kayaking, sunrise birding cruises, fishing and challenging 4×4 routes into the surrounding Kaokoveld. Accommodation ranges from air-conditioned rooms to riverside campsites under jackalberry and leadwood trees. Note: undergoing renovations as of 2026, reopening January 2027 — verify before booking.
