Epupa falls

The Epupa falls, a Kunene attraction, is in the Kunene River which forms the northern border between Namibia and Angola. We also found a massive baobab tree close to the waterfall.

The valley is surrounded by black rock cliffs, with a flat bed of red sand in the middle. The grass fills every part of the Marienfluss, except for the road and some fairy circles. Nobody knows why nothing grows in these fairy circles. Be sure not to stop with a hot exhaust in some grass. On the way a wreck of a car is...Marienfluss valleyX
