Ruacana Lodge in northern Namibia is a natural gateway to the wonders of the Kaokoveld, the Etosha National Park, the Epupa Falls, and the vibrant African culture of the Omusati, Oshana, Ohangwena, and Oshikoto regions.
This glittering oasis in the rugged landscapes offers relaxation, conferencing, and the opportunity to come face-to-face with forgotten Africa.
The Landscape... The Journey...

A journey that includes a visit to Ruacana Lodge might also lead you to the teeming wildlife of Etosha National Park, the mighty Epupa Falls, and the majestic scenery of the Marienfluss Valley in far northern Kaokoveld.
