Serra Cafema Camp

Serra Cafema Camp is located in the extreme north-west of Namibia and has to be the most remote camp in Southern Africa. The Okavango Delta in Botswana is closer to Windhoek than Serra Cafema is to Windhoek. The camps Portuguese name comes from the mountains to the north that dominate the skyline. 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 region and the river creates a lush oasis along it's banks surrounded by rugged mountains and sand dunes.

Under big, shady Albida trees you will find a small, rustic and peaceful camp with all the comforts in fully furnished Meru tents with en-suite bathroom facilities. The camp's six tents are raised off the ground. The camp has a small swimming pool, dining room and bar. The camp is located just inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the Skeleton Coast. The cool winds that blow from the Atlantic help to keep the camp cool even in summer.

The camp is currently "Vintage Wilderness" standard. We are closing the camp in November and by April 2003 the old camp will be dismantled and a new 12 bedded camp will be built to a "Classic Wilderness" style of camp.
