Moonlight Tours Expedition: Unrivaled Luxury in the Hartmann Valley

Hidden deep within Namibia’s remote Hartmann Valley in Kaokoland, Serra Cafema is one of Africa’s most secluded safari retreats. Accessible only by light aircraft and a rugged 4x4 journey across the Namib Desert, this extraordinary camp offers an unparalleled off-the-grid experience. The stark yet mesmerizing lunar landscape—scattered with volcanic rock and towering sand dunes—is teeming with life, from Cape foxes and horned adders to the long-billed lark. At its heart lies the Kunene River, forming a natural border between Namibia and Angola, and providing both sustenance and breathtaking riverside scenery.

A Unique Safari Haven

Set beneath ancient albida trees, Serra Cafema offers an intimate and immersive retreat, appealing to seasoned safari-goers and desert enthusiasts alike. Embark on exhilarating quad-bike safaris to track Rüppell’s korhaans or scimitar-horned oryx, or trek through the Marienfluss Mountains, spotting Namaqua chameleons and discovering Namibia’s mysterious ‘fairy circles’. As the day winds down, toast the African sunset on a river cruise to Angola, before returning for an intimate, candle-lit dinner in Serra Cafema’s exclusive wine cellar.
