Luxury Namibia and Botswana Wilderness Safari

Placed at the confluence of two tributaries in a broad valley of the Kaokoveld Desert this camp offers an unforgettable gateway to experience both the thrillingly desolate Skeleton Coast and the private Palmwag Concession, alive with desert-adapted wildlife. You’ll get a feel for the exclusivity and wonderful remoteness of your accommodation as you fly in by light aircraft – the only way to access the camp.

Explore a multitude of activities here. There’s scenic flights over desert shores that reveal lonely shipwrecks, massive dunefields, floodplains and the Auses Spring. In the Hoanib riverbed elephants, lions, giraffes, gemsbok and springbok, shaggy brown hyaenas and opportunistic black-backed jackals roam, and on the rocky shoreline there’s a noisy Cape fur seal colony. Unravel the mysterious history of the original ancient Strandloper people and the enigmatic stone circles they left behind, and encounter the Welwitschia on a nature walk – one of the oldest and strangest plants on the planet.

Wilderness Serra Cafema is located in the extreme north-west of Namibia in the Hartmann Valley, Kunene region. Spend your days exploring one of the most remote places on Earth. You will spend your time on nature drives, stargazing, guided walks and visits to the villages of the nomadic Himba people.

The camp is peaceful with just a handful of meticulously designed tented suites that sit above the banks of the Kunene river that flows continuously, giving a slice of verdant life to the dry desert. On your nature drives look out for large predators such as lions, leopards, brown and spotted hyenas, as well as desert-adapted elephants, black rhinos, giraffes and other ungulates.

Famed to be one of the smallest capital cities in the world with a population of just 234,000, Windhoek definitely has a small-town feel. There’s just a handful of highrise buildings in the city and plenty of interesting historical German architecture that sits next to more modern structures.

There’s an international and domestic airport close by to the city centre and plenty of activities too, such as visits to the National Botanical Gardens which has the densest stand of mountain aloes in Namibia, flowering in April and May.

The Linyanti region of Botswana is one Africa’s premier safari locations, abundant with wildlife that lives in the serene diverse landscapes of waterways, plains and woodland. Spend your days exploring the thriving wildlife here on morning and afternoon game drives through the private reserves that help to protect the wildlife and communities.

Further activities such as guided bush walks to observe smaller species and flora at a slower pace, or pontoon boat trips over the lagoon (water levels permitting) are just some of the other ways to fill your time and encounter this wildlife haven. In between all of this you can relax in the luxurious surrounds of your tented suite, looking out over this extraordinary territory and listening to the distinctive sounds of the bush.
