Serra Cafema Camp, one of the remotest destinations in all of Africa, offers one of the most memorable experiences.
Perched on the banks of the Kunene River, the region is shared with the wonderful and colourful Himba people, some of the last true nomadic people of Africa.
The camp is situated under big, shady Albia trees with uninterrupted views of the Kunene river valley. The camp is elevated on wooden decks with walkways to each tent.
Game viewing in this area is limited to large herds of Oryx and springbok in the Hartman's valley. The Kunene River has a large population of Nile Crocodiles. There are also a number of endemic reptiles.
ROOM & SUITE TYPES:
The camp has 8 canvas and thatched chalets on spacious decks, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Attention to detail, elevated decks and simple structures of wood, canvas and thatch create a camp that is at one with its surroundings. The Ozonganda, or main area, comprises indoor and outdoor dining areas, sunken lounge, river bar, library, curio shop and swimming pool, all looking out over the Kunene River.
FACILITIES/ACTIVITIES:
The variety of activities to explore the breathtaking landscape includes informative nature drives that tread lightly on the fragile habitats and boating on the Kunene River, where crocodiles and waterbirds seem out of place in this moonscape environment.
Walking in the remote mountain and river valleys are also a highlight, as is a visit to a Himba settlement, should the nomadic people be in the area. One of the highlights of Serra Cafema is the carefully guided quad bike excursions that tread lightly on the dunes, while allowing guests to experience a true desert.
The fairy circle phenomenon is best viewed in the Hartmann's Valley.
