Epupa Falls

Due to the specialised nature of this steep riparian habitat, the Epupa Falls are the locus of endemism for several fish[3] and other aquatic species.

Despite being difficult to reach (a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended to reach them from Opuwo), the falls are a major visitor attraction in Namibia because of the largely unspoiled environment, with fig trees, baobabs, makalani palms, and colourful rock walls framing the falls.

The Ruacana Falls in northern Namibia are located 135 kilometres (84 mi) upstream, also on the Cunene River.

Migration to Epupa Falls is constantly increasing due to high tourism growth, which encourages tribes of Herero- and Ovambo-speaking peoples to move to the area.

Epupa Falls is featured in the 8th episode of the first season of The Grand Tour, being the termination point of a journey in beach buggies through Namibia.
