The Okavango Delta in Botswana is closer to Windhoek than Serra Cafema is to Windhoek. The camps Portuguese name comes from the mountains to the north that dominate the skyline. Himba people, who are some of the last true nomadic people in Africa, live here. The Kunene River is the only permanent source of water in the whole region and the river creates a lush oasis along it's banks surrounded by rugged mountains and sand dunes. The camp is located just inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the Skeleton Coast. The cool winds that blow from the Atlantic help to keep the camp cool even in summer.
