Popa Falls Camp

Popa Falls Camp serves as your gateway to the northeastern corner of Namibia, boasting perennial rivers, stunning indigenous woodlands, and picturesque riverine forests. While Popa Falls is more rapids than waterfall, it's nestled along the Kavango River, which flows into the Botswana Delta. Only 15km from Mahango Game Park, it's an ideal base for wildlife exploration in this remote yet scenic area. Anglers flock to the Kunene River, where Tigerfish and various species of tilapia await.

Popa Falls Camp Accommodation

Built from local timber and thatch; the small, secluded camp offers simple but comfortable accommodation in idyllic surroundings.

The rooms have stunning views facing the thick forest of Hippo Island and overlooking the slow running Okavango River.

Each room has two beds, a mosquito net, shower essentials and wardrobes. You'll have air conditioning and BBQ facilities. Popa Falls is a simple camp with basic clean huts and camping sites with a communal kitchen.
