Epupa Falls, Waterfall system in Kunene Region, Namibia
The Epupa Falls stretch across 1.5 kilometers of the Cunene River, featuring multiple cascades with the highest drop measuring 37 meters in height.
The name originates from a Herero word meaning foam, referring to the white water created by the powerful cascades along the Angola-Namibia border.
The Ovahimba people maintain their traditional nomadic lifestyle near the falls, practicing cattle herding and following ancestral customs in the surrounding areas.
Four accommodation options surround the falls, including Kapika Waterfall Lodge, Omarunga Camp Lodge, Epupa Camp Lodge, and Epupa Falls Campsite Lodge.
The falls support specialized aquatic organisms and fish species within their steep riparian habitat, surrounded by baobabs, fig trees, and makalani palms.
