Kunene River
Okahirongo River Camp
Sophisticated Lodge in the Stunning Marienfluss Valley
Scaling a ridge in the Marienfluss Valley and its central lodge built above the rapids of the Kunene, this is wild luxury at its best. The views are staggering with the colours constantly shifting into new ones depending on the time of day. Seven standalone wood and canvas rooms envelop you in the arid beauty at the same time delivering fine linen, a private terrace, indoor and outdoor showers, and a naturally stylish and eco-friendly ambience.
Bathe in incredible views, cool off in the pool, and dine on delicious African-Italian fusion food in all the remote splendour and under starry night skies.

Places to combine Okahirongo River Camp with
Namibia
Wilderness Serra Cafema is located in the extreme north-west of Namibia on the banks of the Kunene River in the Hartmann Valley. Undoubtedly amongst the most remote camps in Southern Africa, Serra Cafema is only reachable by light aircraft which adds to the exclusivity of this beautiful property.
Wilderness Serra Cafema is an intimate, peaceful camp with a unique mix of rustic and luxury elements nestled amongst the shady Albida trees on the banks of the Kunene. Rapids just below camp provide a calming ambiance with guests often lulled into dreamland by the gurgling waters after a day exploring one of the driest, starkly beautiful regions in the world.
Accommodation at here consists of eight riverside Meru-style canvas and thatched villas on spacious, elevated decks blended smoothly into the picturesque surroundings. Each fully furnished tent has an en-suite bathroom, ceiling fan and mosquito nets. A late afternoon spent lounging on the front deck soaking up the breathtaking vistas of this contrasting wilderness is an absolute must.
