At the Edge of Forever

Ruacana Eha Lodge

Ruacana Eha Lodge is a natural gateway to the wonders of the Kaokoveld, the Etosha National Park, the Epupa Falls and the vibrant African culture of the Ovambo in the Omusati, Oshana, Ohangwena and Oshikoto regions in northern Namibia. The word “eha” describes a piece of jewellery worn by the Himba, but it also means “home”.

This glittering oasis in the rugged landscapes, offers relaxation, conferencing and opportunity to come face-to-face with forgotten Africa.
