Serra Cafema is situated on the southern bank of the Kunene River in the extreme north-west Namibia, at the foot of the Hartmann’s Valley, just across the border from Angola. Here the sounds of the river will lull you to sleep at night after exciting days exploring this remarkable barely discovered landscape. The lodge itself is nestled in a lush belt of riverine forest, completely contrasting with the surrounding arid landscape of desert and mountains. 

Serra Cafema is an extraordinary camp, in an even more extraordinary part of Africa. The Kunene Rive is the only permenant source of water in the region, creating a beautiful oasis along it’s banks in an otherwise arid landscape. Game here is limited to plains game and Nile crocodiles mainly but activities are more focused on exploring the area and meeting the Himba people and learning about their culture and the region than looking for wildlife. In our opinion this is one of the most beautiful spots in the world and we haven’t come across anything like it anywhere else.

Serra Cafema works on a fully inclusive board basis. 

Children over the age of 6 are welcome here. For families travelling with children between 6 and 12 years, private activities need to be booked and paid for. Children between 6 and 16 years must share a room with an adult. The minimum age for walking activities is 13 years and for quad biking 16 years. 

Game drives are in shared vehicles. If you wish to pay an additional charge for a private vehicle these are availability dependant and must be pre-booked. 

The camp can only be reached by charter flights. Flying times are 3hr20m from Windhoek, or 2hr30m from Swakopmund. 

In-room massages can be arranged at an additional cost.
