Serra Cafema Camp is located on the banks of Kunene River, surrounded by the Namib Desert and with stunning mountain ranges dominating the skyline. This is one of the most remote and wonderfully surreal destinations in all Africa.

Serra Cafema Camp has 8 luxurious canvas and thatched chalets on spacious decks, each with its own ensuite bathroom encompassing an indoor and outdoor shower.
The 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. Attention to detail, elevated decks and simple structures of wood, canvas and thatch create a camp that blends beautifully into the environment.
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.
Great fun and a real highlight are the quad bike excursions through the sea of dunes; these excursions allow guests to experience the true desert whilst taking care not to damage the pristine environment.
Our most recent visit to Serra Cafema in November 2008 was fabulous. The stunning scenery, quad biking, boat trips and Himba interaction were all truly memorable. It’s one of those amazing places that you dream about when you get home.

We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
