Serra Cafema

$$$$ | Namibia Fodor's Choice

This astonishingly different and dramatically sited camp in the extreme northwest of Namibia on the Angolan border is the most remote camp in southern Africa and you are guaranteed to gasp with awe when you first catch sight of the camp from a high sand dune. Located along the Kunene River within the Marienfluss Conservancy, which is largely owned by the region's indigenous Himba people, this camp operates on a mutually beneficial public-private partnership that prioritizes these custodians of the land, and allows guests to respectfully engage with the local community during their visit. This award-winning model has been widely commended and serves as an example for other hospitality businesses to follow. Stay for three nights to make the most of the experience. Although tents (on raised platforms) are luxurious and have private bathrooms, don't come here if you aren't tough. The flight from Windhoek is long and may be bumpy, and the terrain harsh and demanding, but the experience is surreal. This is one-of-a-kind Africa.

Pros

  • Surreal remote wilderness area (malaria-free zone)
  • A wealth of activities beyond game drives (in-tent massage treatments can be booked at an additional cost)
  • Outstanding service

Cons

  • You may find yourself torn between activities and relaxing in your lovely tent
  • Not a lot of wildlife, except Nile crocodiles and birdlife
  • Arduous travel to get here
