Serra Cafema Lodge, Namiba

Hidden within the enormous Hartmann Valley, looking onto the Kunene River and surrounded by the lunar-like infinity of the Namib Desert, Serra Cafema is one of the most remote and surreal destinations in all Africa. A visit here is a journey into the latent elements of the soul, a pathway of discovery and re-discovery and a winding track of rejuvenation at every turn. Rapids just below camp provide a calming ambiance; guests fall asleep to the sound of rushing water, while by day they explore one of the driest deserts in the world.

Namibia Review

First of all the people! They are so proud of their country and regaled us with its history and told us all about its enormous quantities of natural resources. We learned so much and would love to return and see more of it. The landscape of the country is unlike anything I've ever seen before -- so...
