The Kunene River, forming part of the border between Angola and Namibia, is a remote and stunning destination, most famed for the dramatic Epupa Falls. Accessibility is challenging, typically requiring 4x4 vehicles, especially in Angola, and is best undertaken with a guided tour due to the remote terrain, potential border complexities, and wildlife, though experienced overlanders might attempt solo travel. Seasonal restrictions are significant, with the rainy season (roughly November-April) often making roads impassable; the dry season (May-October) is preferable for visits. Costs are highly variable, ranging from moderate for independent camping to several thousand USD for multi-day guided expeditions covering transport, accommodation, and activities. A typical visit duration focusing on a key area like Epupa Falls usually spans 2-4 days, often as part of a longer regional itinerary. Useful insights include the opportunity for cultural interaction with the Himba people, significant wildlife (including crocodiles), and the necessity of carrying sufficient supplies and being prepared for off-grid travel.
