Okahirongo River Camp

Okahirongo River Camp, one of the most unique and remote camps in Namibia, is an eco-friendly lodge built on a sweeping ridge that opens up to breath-taking views of the Kunene River. The central area, constructed above the rapids, comprises two lounges, a library and dining room, decked out in African elegance. The turquoise waters of the swimming pool offer refreshment from the desert heat and the spacious sundeck invites sunbathing or simply delighting in the exotic grandeur of the natural surroundings.

The luxurious en-suite tents are cleverly built into the rocky terrain and are constructed out of wood and canvas, with each having a magnificent view over the surrounding area. The interiors have been furnished with minimalist African chic. Lavish four-poster beds, splendid indoor and outdoor showers and spacious decks guarantee utmost comfort and the exclusive privilege of being at one with nature. The camp is situated along the banks of the Kunene River, the only permanent source of water in this area, which also forms Namibia’s natural northern border with Angola. Okahirongo River Lodge is surrounded by spectacular desert scenery, inhabited only by the nomadic Ovahimba people, giving you the opportunity to learn about this culture’s relatively untouched lifestyle and traditions (if there are currently villages in the area).
