Serra Cafema Camp

Print
Kaokoland , Namibia
800/999-1758

COST: $$$$$

The main lodge sits on stilts in an oasis of green <em>albida</em> trees above the Kunene River, which separates Namibia and Angola. The eight loftlike chalets are filled with carved Nguni furniture, and in the bathrooms, copper basins are mounted on log pedestals. The food is sophisticated—especially the candlelit dinners, which might include fish en papillote followed by a chocolate mousse. Take a hike with Franco Morao, one of the camp's top guides. Morao will point out goliath herons and fresh sets of long, smooth crocodile tracks. He's also good at spotting small creatures, such as pairs of toktokkie beetles, the males piggybacking on the females to shade them while they forage for food.
