Ruacana Falls


Last night we camped at the Hippo Pools Camping site. Up early and off without breakfast to catch the sun rising at the Ruacana Falls.

Rene deciding what to paint

A more dramatic studio could not be imagined...


A spectacular sunrise at the top of the Falls

Marlene preparing breakfast near the main viewpoint. The fence visible to the left is the Namibia - Angola border.

Marlene and Rene enjoying the magnificent scenery
Rene busy with another painting as the sun is starting to set over the falls.

Back to the Hippo Pool for a lovely sunset and an enjoyable evening next to the camp fire

Distance traveled for the day: 42 km including a trip to the Ruacana town for some groceries
