Serra Cafema Lodge, Namiba

Contact a specialist about 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.

  • Walking in the remote mountain and river valleys and visits to a Himba settlement, should the nomadic people be in the area.
  • Quad bike excursions that tread lightly on the dunes while allowing guests to experience a true desert.
  • The fairy circle phenomenon is best viewed in the Hartmann's Valley.

Client Comments

Namibia is a totally different Safari experience to that of East Africa. The people were very friendly and the diverse landscapes from riverbeds to semi arid area right to the dunes were stunning. The Mahlatini Team were very helpful and I appreciate all the information, advice and tips given in advance. The whole trip was very adventurous and exciting.
