Kapika Waterfall Lodge is located in the heart of the stunning Epupa region and offers visitors a unique and tranquil escape from city life. Kapika Waterfall Lodge was established in 2009 and named after the great Himba leader, Chief Kapika, as a tribute to him.
The Lodge stands apart from other lodges in Epupa as it is the only one located on a hillside facing the Kunene River, offering a serene and unobstructed view of the river and its surrounding wilderness. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the stunning vista of the river and its lush vegetation, makes for an unforgettable experience.
One of the highlights of a stay at Kapika is the opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness and get up close and personal with the Himba people together with a guide who knows the people and the area. The Himbas are one of the last nomadic tribes on earth, and visiting them is surely an unforgettable experience.
Whether you're looking to relax and soak in the view or embark on exciting adventures, Kapika Waterfall Lodge is the perfect destination for those seeking a unique and unforgettable experience in Epupa.
Feel the freedom of living in nature amongst the Himba people and experience the amazing Epupa Falls.
Sleeping at Kapika
We offer ten spacious and comfortable rooms decorated with traditional furnishings and private balconies that overlook the Kunene River and the surrounding wilderness. The rooms are houses traditionally built with thatched roofs. Sustainability is our top priority, which is why the lodge gets its electricity exclusively from solar energy.
Our team, led by Simon, who has been a part of the lodge since its inception and considers his job a calling, takes care of our guests' needs with love and attention. The team of Kapika Waterfall Lodge are dedicated to making your stay as memorable as possible
Activities

We are more than happy to assist you in planning your excursions, and we highly recommend a visit to the Epupa Falls - one of the most stunning waterfalls in Namibia - for a truly unforgettable experience.
Epupa Falls is a series of cascading waterfalls along the Kunene River, which forms the natural boundary between Namibia and Angola. The falls are approximately 37 meters tall and create a beautiful and peaceful oasis in the heart of the rugged landscape of the Kunene Region.
