Serra Cafema Camp
Overview of Serra Cafema Camp
Namibia, Kaokoveld
Deep in the Hartmann Valley of the northern part of Namibia known as Kaokaland is Serra Cafema, a remote camp that is accessible only by light aircraft and a 4×4 transfer across the Namib Desert. A true wilderness, the volcanic rocks and soaring dunes make for a lunar ‘moonscape' that delights visitors by being surprisingly alive with desert-adapted creatures like the Cape fox, horned adders and long-billed larks. Their lifeblood is the Kunene River that forms the border between Angola and Namibia, and that also provides the spectacular views from the eight tents at Serra Cafema.
Set among albida trees, Serra Cafema will appeal to safari veterans and lovers of the desert who enjoy setting out on quad bikes to spot Ruppell's korhaans or scimitar-horned oryx. Or hiking in the Marienfluss Mountains looking for Namaqua chameleons and getting a bird's eye view of the deserted fabled ‘fairy circles', bizarre circular spots of barren land that form a dappled pattern on the sand. Toast the evening with a river cruise that ferries you to the Angolan side to enjoy sundowners before making your way back for private dinner in Serra Cafema's wine cellar.
For a truly off-the-beaten-track safari that provides unforgettable accommodation and memorable experiences, Serra Cafema is considered one of Namibia's flagship desert lodges.

Serra Cafema was really nice. Our room had a fantastic view of the river and mountains. We enjoyed the activities offered, and I was surprised how much I enjoyed the quad bikes. Food here was top notch and the management was always checking in.

We had an incredible time! We loved Serra Cafema and Little Ongava in particular. Serra Cafema is a truly special place. The setting is stunning, the lodge and rooms were absolutely lovely, and the staff were exceptional – everything we could have wanted was taken care of, but more impressively the staff were truly warm and engaging in a way that went above even what we have experienced in other lodges. And my husband LOVE the visit to the Himba village. He enjoyed it so much he went twice!

We had a great time in Namibia Serra Cafema lodge. This is probably the most remote place I have ever visited and it was exactly what I wanted! We had a great time on the quad-bikes in the dunes and enjoying the scenery close to the Angola border. The lodge was really great with the right balance between luxury and comfort in such a remote place. I am already promoting the place to my friends and colleagues in Luanda.
