The best time to go to Epupa is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is consistently pleasant and wildlife viewing is at its peak.During these months, the days are sunny and warm, with temperatures typically ranging from 25°C to 30°C. The nights are cooler, often dropping to around 10°C to 15°C, making for comfortable sleeping conditions. The lack of rain means the Epupa Falls are still flowing nicely, but the Kunene River is lower, which concentrates wildlife around the water sources, making them easier to spot. This period is ideal for those looking for comfortable outdoor activities without the humidity or heavy rains.Couples looking for a romantic and adventurous getaway will find this period perfect. The clear skies are excellent for stargazing, and the lower river levels make activities like guided walks to the falls or boat trips along the Kunene River more enjoyable. The drier conditions also mean fewer mosquitoes, contributing to a more comfortable experience.Families travelling with children will also appreciate the dry season. The stable weather allows for consistent planning of activities such as visiting Himba villages or enjoying the natural swimming spots near the falls without interruption from rain.
