Hoanib Valley Camp is in the Sesfontein Community Conservancy Area, Kaokoland, in the very remote northwest of Namibia. The camp sits on the bank of the Obias River, overlooking the Hoanib River Valley, a linear oasis running through one of the most beautiful deserts in Africa, where desert-adapted elephant, giraffe, lion and rhino move freely. Hoanib Valley Camp is open all year round. In the dry winter months of April to September, the desert is in its iconic state, whilst from November to March the area is carpeted in a lush, green blanket.

Das Camp liegt am Ufer des Obias River mit Blick auf das Hoanib River Valley, eine lineare Oase, die durch eine der schönsten Wüsten Afrikas verläuft, wo sich an die Wüste angepasste Elefanten, Giraffen, Löwen und Nashörner frei bewegen. Das Hoanib Valley Camp ist ganzjährig geöffnet. In den trockenen Wintermonaten von April bis September ist die Wüste in ihrem ikonischen Zustand, während die Gegend von November bis März in eine üppige, grüne Decke gehüllt ist.

Der Grenzfluss zwischen Namibia und Angola, der Kunene, stürzt bei den Epupa-Wasserfällen in eine über 40 m tiefe Schlucht, unweit der Ortschaft Epupa im Nordwesten Namibias. In der Herero-Sprache heißt Epupa soviel wie fallendes Wasser.  Der Kunene ist einer der 5 Flüsse Namibias, die ständig Wasser führen. Trotzdem ist die Wasserführung entsprechend der jahreszeitlichen Regenmengen unterschiedlich, so dass auch das Naturschauspiel der Epupa Fälle jahreszeitlichen Schwankungen unterliegt.

The border river between Namibia and Angola, the Kunene, plummets down a 40 metre deep gorge at the Epupa Falls close to the nearby village of Epupa. In the Herero language Epupa means “falling water”. The Kunene River is one of Namibia’s five perennial rivers. Nonetheless the water level changes depending on the annual rain falls so that the natural spectacle Epupa Falls is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The best months to view the falls are April and May.
