Serra Cafema is located in the extreme north-west of Namibia and is probably the most remote camp in southern Africa. For those who appreciate truly wild places, the flight to Serra Cafema is one of the most exciting in all of Africa. The camp’s Portuguese name comes from the mountains to the north that dominate the skyline. This small private camp is built within an island of ancient Albida trees on the banks of the Kunene River. We share this region with wonderful Himba people who are some of the last true nomadic people in Africa. The Kunene River is the only permanent source of water in the whole of the region and the river creates a lush oasis along its banks surrounded by rugged mountains and sand dunes. The river is also home to one of southern Africa’s rarest birds – the Cinderella waxbill. The airstrip is well to the south of the camp in the Hartmann Valley, an immense grassland plain between to high mountain ranges. After landing you experience an incredible drive through open grasslands and high mountains, past Springbok and Ostrich – culminating in a dramatic and breathtaking descent to the camp. The camp’s six magnificent tents are raised off the ground with ensuite bathroom facilities. There is a bar, lounge and pool.
