The dramatic 85 meters high Ruacana Falls was once a great natural wonder and presenting a spectacle comparable to Victoria Falls. It was worth a side trip to see it as it was flowing for full at the moment as Angola has had quite a lot rain lately. If Namibia and Angola would put a little care around this natural wonder it would become one of the most visited places in Namibia. Ruacana Falls are ... Read Full Entry

An Aussie trying to travel as much of the world as possible.. Love to see and experience new things, silly things, food things, anything! I'm a budget traveller who prefers to visit the locals rather than the local attractions. Travel for me is about experiencing new cultures and accepting people for who they are.

The hardest part for most making the decision to book that ticket but that is the beginning for life changing and rewarding experi... full info

A real wonder
Thanks! It's really interesting and amazing. First of all - about Ruacana Waterfall. I didn't even hear about it. Though warefalls are a special object in the bouquet of my interests. Now I'm preparing a little blog material about waterfalls in Latvia. We have nearly 400 of them, and the highest is even...4,5 meters(!) high. In return, it's the largest in the whole Europe. Ruacana Waterfall on pictures seemed to me as if a huge massif of snow (!). Happy journey!

Ruacana Falls
Thank you so much for posting about these magnificent falls, I never knew they existed until reading your blog. Will have to add this to the list of attractions to see when my travels eventually reach Namibia.

Hey hey :)
Yeah we didn't really know about this place either and was a very nice surprise! Make sure, if you go, that recently plenty of rain has fallen since the waterfalls is at times 'turned off' due to the dam just above it. We just got luck but think you can call the lodge in Rucana to find out. It is a long way North to find it not flowing :)
