The border river between Namibia and Angola, the Kunene, plummets down a 40-meter-deep gorge at the Epupa Falls, close to the nearby village of Epupa. It is one of Namibia’s five perennial rivers. The gorgeous Epupa Falls is also recognized as Monte Negro Falls in Angola. The Kunene River, on the border of Angola and Namibia in the Kaokoland section of the Kunene Region, creates a spectacular waterfall. The river is only half a kilometer wide and drops a series of waterfalls spread over 1.5 kilometers, with the greatest single drop being 37 meters.
The name “Epupa” is a Herero word for “foam,” referring to the foam produced by falling water. The specialized nature of the steep riparian habitat is the locus of endemism for a number of fish and other aquatic species. If you want to access the falls, then you need a 4WD vehicle to reach them from Opuwo.
Despite difficulties, the falls are a major tourist attraction in Namibia. The surrounding area of falls is unspoiled with lovely fig-trees, baobabs, makalani palms, and colored rock walls framing the falls.
The journey from Opuwo to the Epupa waterfall is well worth the two- to three hour four-wheel drive excursion. The track is not in good condition and is sometimes extremely difficult to accept. The real majestic beauty is enchanting; you can even see Kunene Valley.
It gives you the feeling of discovering a piece of heaven. Because the Kunene region is exceedingly dry, the risk of malaria is low, and the crocodiles in the Kunene River are extremely hazardous, thus, swimming in the river is not recommended.
Epupa Falls is a prevalent stopover for overland trucks and organized safaris and, awkwardly, can get swamped with tourists. The trip to Epupa Falls is not recommended from Dec to April due to the rainy season, which makes the trip extremely difficult.
