driest, starkly beautiful regions in the world.

the best view of all. Early booking is essential owing to its popularity.
Families can be accommodated by opening up adjoining units.

What To Do at Serra Cafema Camp
Other activities at Serra Cafema revolve around the exploration of surrounding
Namib Desert sands and the lush oases along the river, a journey of contrasts.
Informative nature drives and carefully guided quad bike excursions through
the fragile dunes allow guests to experience the true Namib in its unbridled
glory.
The utmost care is taken to tread lightly on the dunes and preserve the
unique and delicate habitats of this landscape. Boating on the Kunene River
provides guests with the opportunity to venture through the lush riverside
oases.
Crocodiles and waterbirds seem out of place in this surreal, lunar-like
landscape.
Walking in the remote mountain and river valleys is also a highlight, as
is a visit to a Himba settlement - one of the last true nomadic people in
Africa. The fairy circle phenomenon is also best viewed in the Hartmann's
Valley.
In rainy years, the large Marienfluss and Hartmann's valleys become
grassy expanses, but generally their flat topographies are covered by
sand broken only by a few tough grasses, shrubs and the mysterious 'fairy
circles'.
The Kunene River is the only permanent source of water in this region,
the river creating a lush oasis along its banks - a winding band of
green surrounded by the lunar like landscape of the Namib Desert which
stretches to the Serra Cafema mountain range in the north.
