Our Review

★★★★★

Opuwo Country Lodge offers a comfortable and welcoming base in one of Namibia’s most remote and culturally rich regions. Perched on a hill overlooking wide valleys and rugged terrain, the lodge makes the most of its elevated setting, with sweeping views and particularly memorable sunsets. The atmosphere is relaxed and practical, well suited to travellers exploring Kaokoland.

Accommodation is simple but comfortable, with both standard and more upgraded room options available. Rooms are clean, spacious and functional, providing a welcome retreat after long days on the road or out on excursions. While the emphasis is not on luxury, the comfort level is reliable and well matched to the lodge’s location and purpose.

The lodge facilities add greatly to the overall experience. The restaurant and bar offer a relaxed place to unwind, and the swimming pool is especially welcome in the heat of the north. There is also a camping area, making the property appealing to a wide range of travellers, from overlanders to those seeking lodge-style accommodation.

Location is one of Opuwo Country Lodge’s key strengths. It serves as an ideal base for visits to nearby Himba communities, Epupa Falls and other highlights of the region, while remaining close enough to Opuwo for supplies and services. Overall, it is a dependable and scenic stopover that combines good value, convenience and impressive views in a remote part of Namibia.
