Popa Falls Resort sits in the far north-eastern corner of Namibia, where perennial rivers, indigenous woodlands, riverine forests, floodplains and reed-lined channels create a landscape completely unlike the rest of the country. It's a refreshing change of scenery on the way to or from the Caprivi Strip and Botswana.
The 'falls' at Popa Falls are in fact a series of cascades created by a quartzite ledge that splits the Okavango River into numerous channels, all of which can be explored on foot directly from the rest camp.
The River Cabins look out over the thick forest of Hippo Island across the Okavango River. Each cabin has two beds with mosquito nets, an en-suite bathroom with shower, and towels and toiletries provided. All River Cabins have air conditioning and a private braai/BBQ area.
Comfortable Bush Chalets set among shady trees with a private parking space. Each chalet has two beds with mosquito nets, an en-suite bathroom with shower, and towels and toiletries provided. Bush Chalets have bush-facing views with a dedicated braai area, plus air conditioning.
The Luxury Units at Popa Falls sleep two adults and add a fridge, kettle and TV to the comforts of the standard chalets and cabins — a step up for travellers wanting a little extra comfort on the way through the Caprivi.
Only 10 basic camping sites are available at Popa Falls, set in a shaded area close to the river. Each site has its own braai/BBQ area, with a shared bathroom block providing showers, toilets and washing facilities nearby.
Popa Falls is the ideal base from which to explore the nearby Mahango Game Park, where elephant, hippo, buffalo, crocodile, red lechwe, reedbuck, roan and sable antelope — and if you're lucky, the elusive sitatunga antelope — can all be seen. Over 450 bird species have been recorded in the area, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
Tigerfish, threespot and green-headed tilapia are just some of the game fish species found in the Kavango River, making Popa Falls a popular destination for anglers.
