Namibia might be closest thing to Mars on Earth — the dramatic red landscapes and mind-blowing scenery make it a unique African destination. Seeing desert elephants was a truly humbling experience.

The TRUE experience
Why we love it
- The camp is raised off the ground on stilts and built right onto the river, in amongst tall shady Ana trees
- It is a little oasis in a barren but dramatically beautiful landscape
- The views are breathtaking
Stay at Serra Cafema Camp
Undoubtedly one of the most remote camps in southern Africa, Serra Cafema is located in the extreme north-west of Namibia on the banks of the Kunene River in the Hartmann Valley. Serra Cafema is an intimate, peaceful camp inspired by the area’s Himba people, with a unique mix of rustic and luxury elements, and nestled amongst shady albida trees.
Accommodation consists of eight riverside wood, canvas and thatched villas on spacious, elevated decks blended smoothly
into the picturesque surroundings. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom, ceiling fan and mosquito nets. One of these rooms is an intimate, luxurious honeymoon villa with exceptional views, while another accommodates a family. The Ozonganda, or main area, comprises indoor and outdoor dining areas, sunken lounge, library, curio shop and swimming pool, all sharing views of Namibia‘s Kunene River.
Experiences
Boating
Take a trip up the Kunene River to spot crocodiles hiding in the banks, and water birds and other animals lounging in the lush riverside.
Dune Exploration
Climb up the bright orange sands of the Namib's dunes for sprawling views over the desert – it is worth the hard work!
Quad Biking
Explore this terrain in one of the most memorable ways, racing over sand dunes and along ridges whilst taking care to preserve the habitat.
Birding
See how many water and desert birds you can spot around camp, including benguela long-billed larks and Rüppell’s korhaan.
Himba Community
Learn about the isolated lifestyle of the semi-nomadic Himba people who live around the camp, sharing in their customs for an enriching experience.
Nature Drives
Hop in a 4x4 or explore by foot all that the Namib desert has to offer, from incredible landscapes to famous fairy circles, as well as wildlife.

The journey to Namibia and Serra Cafema was the best trip I’ve ever done. I really loved the remote camp, the way we travelled there (flying over the endless dunes and amazing coastline in a private plane) and the infinite hospitality, knowledge and passion of the whole team. We enjoyed a lot of activities: we visited the Himba people, which was the experience of a lifetime, took a quad bike tour and boat tour. For my birthday, they organised a private dinner at a beautiful, remote location.
