Stunning Deserts and Rivers
Serra Cafema is a remote but luxury safari hideaway. Only reached by a three hour light aircraft ride, it provides the ultimate in safari-style accommodation. Eight Meru-style, canvas villas are complete with en-suite bathrooms and viewing decks.
This will sound odd, but you’ll find that a location as remote as this suddenly becomes the centre of the world. Well, your world at least.
And what a world it is. A place of canvas and thatched villas, giving you the perfect base for exploring some of the most fascinating environments in the whole of Southern Africa. Like the fragile, ever shifting and astonishingly visual Namib Desert sands. Like boating through the riverside oases of the Kunene. Like exploring surreal, lunar-like landscapes seemingly devoid of water. Like encountering Himba tribesmen, some of Africa’s last nomadic people. Fall asleep to the relaxing sounds of the gurgling rapids, just below the camp.

A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
