Reviews of Kunene

All the way in the north of Namibia the Kunene River is one of the rare rivers that is not dried up and that really has a good hydrometry level.

My suggestion:
Be careful there are crocodiles hereabouts. 
Summary:

After having travelled a very difficult and chaotic road, I come to a lodge located on the bank of the Kunene. Here, desert Namibia seems forgotten in the middle of a luxuriant forest and a river overflowing with water!

For two days on the bank of Kunene River the programme boiled down to moments of lounging around, rafting and ending up in the water a few times, followed by a sundowner in a boat, on the river. There, I learn that there are crocodiles, and I can see and hear them! A few hours earlier, I was in these same waters! Apparently, crocodiles do not like the swirling parts so I could swim without fear... It is better to find this out after swimming, as I am not sure I would have done so after all!  

It is time to leave this very pleasant place, to see while on a trip to Namibia.
