Serra Cafema, Himba village
Serra Cafema is an exceptional camp of 8 luxury tents in the far north-west of Namibia, in the Hartmann Valley. The natural setting is fabulous with an implacable desert of dunes and rocky mountains in total contrast to a strip of lush vegetation following the course of the Kunene River. Serra Cafema is one of the most remote camps in Africa, located in the furthest reaches of north-west Namibia. It is an astonishing green oasis surrounded by large, inhospitable desert dunes. 8 splendid thatched tents are hidden beneath immense ana trees, and from the hammock on your private wooden deck, you will look out towards the crocodiles of the Kunene River. 4x4, boat, walking or quad bike safaris will help you discover the magic of the Himba people, one of Africa's last nomadic tribes. Springboks, ostriches, Hartmann's mountain zebras and oryx populate this mythical region, Kaokoland, a superbly preserved wildlife sanctuary. At Serra Cafema, you almost feel like a pioneer.

THE EXTRAORDINARY
Visiting Cafema means reaching one of the most remote regions of Namibia and discovering the Himba people, a community of only 15,000 souls, the last nomads of Southern Africa, recognizable by their skin dyed with red pigment, who have been concentrated in Kaokoland since the 16th century.
