The Epacha Game Lodge and Spa was the first in Namibia to combine the African safari experience with wellness when it first opened its doors in 2001. Many other lodges have since followed suit.

The Spa at Epacha is fully equipped with a Jacuzzi, Sauna, Steam Room and 2 treatment rooms. The most popular attraction at the spa is the open-air duo-treatment room, where it is possible to enjoy one of the many treatments together with your partner.

Experience this cultural exchange, where visitors learn about the rich heritage of one of Namibia’s most distinctive nomadic tribes. The Himba continue to lead remarkably similar lives to their ancestors, forging an existence in the harsh environment of Kunene (formerly called Kaokoland).

On your visit, you will experience the men, women and children rubbing dark red paste called otjize (a mixture of cattle fat, ash and ochre) into their skin to protect them from the sun. The Himba wear clothes made from goat skin, and the women have long braided hair coated with otjize and jewellery made from iron, copper and shells.

The visit to the local Himba Village is a must for anyone interested in culture. A visit usually lasts a couple of hours and our guide will drive you to the village located on the farm Vierling in one of the game drive vehicles. At the village you will be led by a local guide that will explain to you their day-to-day lives, traditions, beliefs and customs.
