Description
A modest lodge & campsite on a traditional reserve a stone’s throw from Opuwo, elegantly hidden under Mopane shade along the edge of an ancient river.
Kaoko Mopane Lodge is created in an earthly space, drawn on natural hues of ochre, sand and stone. Using scrap metal from the area & recycled pine from old buildings, the lodge is a blend of modern sustainability and age-old Namibian hospitality.
If the way to a man’s heart is food, the gateway to the last wild Nambian frontier is Kaoko Mopane Lodge & Campsite.

Latest Check-Ins
Campsites and rooms (chalets) for a reasonable price. Camping is 200 pppn; chalet 950 pppn. Not much privacy at the campsite, and when there's no wind, the campsite can get smokey because of all the donkeys that are burning 24/7 (especially at night the campsite is filled with smoke). During the night, they also chop the wood for the fire in the donkey on the campsite, so this might wake you up a couple of times...
Report Check-InA very good place before and/or Epupa falls.
With an intelligent way to recuperate, all is very interesting.
There’s a farm behind, and there’s a lot of gardeners who work on the campsite. It’s clean, included pool.
We’ll go back.

Report Check-InThis is hands down one of the best campsites in Namibia! A peaceful place just outside of the madness of Opuwo.
The staff were super friendly and I cannot fault the campsite on anything. There is a lovely pool - pity it was chilly on the day we were there.
I would go back again and again.
This awesome campsite has already been added as “Eco Friendly”, but I wanted to add it as an established campsite as well, so people that use the filter won’t miss it.
It is a fantastic campsite with private ablutions and hot water (donkey system) and beautiful pool, restaurant and bar. A peace of heaven amongst the mopani trees, five kilometres away from the madness that is Opuwo. There are rooms available too.
I have a relatively strong LTE signal for MTC here.
One of the best campsites we have visited in Namibia.
What an amazing experience! Owner operated with attention to detail! Stunning campsites self-supported with own ablutions, wash-up and fireplace, huge space and creative organic design with recycled materials- an artwork!
Report Check-InThe perfect place to cool off after a week in the Kaokoveld. Excellent swimming pool, lovely bar with draught beer and a view over the river (dry when we were there) and good sites with individual ablutions. Nice peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle of Opuwo.
