Etambura Tented Camp

Etambura Tented Camp

Orupembe, Kunene, Namibia
Self-catering from R 900 (family units from R 1,900)
R 900

Etambura is Namibia's first Himba co-owned camp situated in Orupembe Conservancy, on top of one of the highest hills above the holy plains of Onjuva, where livestock and springbok peacefully graze together.

There are five canvas and thatch chalets, one of which is wheelchair friendly, each with its own private deck extending from the hill. Built on a wooden platform and, in some cases, on stilts, each unit is positioned to optimize the view.

The horseshoe-shape of our recreational area, built from natural materials, fully blends in with the contours of a hill-top skyline. Enjoy your meals on the circular deck with spectacular views over the hills and plains, or in the spacious dining room. Should you just want to relax, settle down in the cool comfort of our lounge area.

Etambura is the ideal place to relax with the sounds of bird life and the rustle of trees. The rich hues of purple-pod terminalia with unimpeded 360 degree views make this unique spot unforgettable. After a game drive, where you might be fortunate enough to see black rhinos, enjoy a stroll and explore the hill with its many widespread species of plants and shrubs.

We extended our stay at Etambura to enjoy the tranquility and excellent facilities in such a remote location. With great finesse, Kakuu and her team attended to all our needs. We can't wait to be back.


very nice by

Wer mit einem  Allrad-Fahrzeug unterwegs ist und weiß, dass man alles selbst mitbringen muss (außer Geschirr und Wäsche) ist bestimmt sehr angetan: die Bungalows sind toll gelegen und gut ausgestattet, die Staff freundlich ...


Beautiful lodge with Spectacular views and very friendly hosts by

Beautiful lodge with spectacular views and very friendly hosts. Wonderful location but can only be reached by 4x4. Self-catering lodge, but hosting team will be of assistance.


Establishment's Response:
Dear Michel,
Thank you very much for your positive review.
Glad to hear everything was ?thumps up?.
It is not always easy to meet the needs of our guest, in this very remote area.
Thank you and hope to hear from you again.

Quietness, friendly staff


The view was the best by

The view is great. When we arrived at about 16:00 nobody was there. We arranged ourselves. Later the staff arrived. The cleanliness of the kitchen area was not acceptable. One question, is Etambura always occupied by one party? If not we asked ourselves how with more than one party the cooking should be done. In one of the bungalow the toilet flush was not functioning properly and the showerhead was blocked by 60%. In the ?hot? water was not even warm. We checked the donkeys at both bungalows it was only a very little fire burning All in all we was not satisfied.
