EPUPA FALLS

Epupa Falls, a series of cascades that drop a total of 60m over a distance of about 1.5km, reaches a maximum width of 500m. Originating from the Herero word for the spume created by falling water, Epupa is a fitting name for this fascinating sight.

Nowhere else in the world does one find a waterfall contrasted with such wild, arid desert landscape.

Watching the Epupa Falls and its white mists of water against the red colours of the surrounding desert and mountains during sunset, with a sundowner drink in one hand and camera or binoculars in the other, is likely to make up one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences during a trip to Namibia.

However, Epupa Falls is not just a great place to see and photograph. It is also a great place to go for a dip in one of the hundreds of natural pools gradually carved out of the rocks over millennia by the torrents of the falling water.

And if one does not feel like a dip, sitting back and watching the Himba people bathing, washing, and playing in the water is an experience in itself.
