The area
The Okahirongo River Camp lies deep in Kaokoland in a lunar landscape of gravel plains and ancient volcanic mountains. The lodge is situated at the end of the beautiful Marienfluss Valley and looks over the jagged peaks that mark Namibia’s border with Angola. Wildlife is sparse, but Ostrich, springbok, orxy and korhaans are present. The Kunene River is lined with a green ribbon of winter thorns and palms. This desolate region is home to nomadic Himba pastoralists. The lodge offers river cruises, nature drives, walks and fishing, or just relax in the shade.
