Epupa Falls
If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and all its accompanying stress and strains during your stay in Namibia then head over to the transcendent Epupa Falls for an experience like no other. This is natural beauty at its most resplendent – a world of undulating magnificence and a tranquility that can be found nowhere else in this Southern African country. The Epupa Falls can be located on the Kunene River, which is also the border between Namibia and fellow African country Angola; the falls are a series of cascades that drop 60m covering a distance of 1,5km. While Epupa Falls cannot be compared to the likes of the world-famous Victoria Falls, it is all the more remarkable because it occurs in a dry arid climate that Namibia is known for.
Indeed this is a curious and fascinating sight to behold as the enveloping white mists from the falling water blends in against a backdrop of red desert rock; it is even more glorious when witnessed against a magnificent rising or setting African sun. There are holiday accommodations in close proximity to the falls so visitors will be able to take a refreshing swim in any of the numerous natural pools that have gradually been eked out of the rocks throughout the many centuries by the constant torrents of rushing water. If you don’t feel like swimming or exploring the surrounding area you have the wonderful opportunity of watching the indigenous Himba people interacting with each other or splashing about in the water. A visit to the Epupa Falls promises to be rejuvenating and revitalizing aiding you as you reconnect with nature and yourself and find the real meaning and purpose of your life.
