overview

Experience the haunting beauty of the Namib Desert at Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, set in the foothills of the private NamibRand Nature Reserve in Namibia. The Namib, known as 'The Living Desert', is a vast world of endless horizons, dramatic desertscapes and jagged mountains. Explore the desert with an expert naturalist by quad bike, open 4x4 vehicle or even by hot-air balloon. Can't-miss excursions to the famous Sossusvlei sand dunes, the highest in the world, and Sesriem Canyon will add to this unforgettable desert safari experience.

Visit the Sossusvlei Desert Lodge's private observatory, boasting the country's second most powerful electronic telescope - the resident astronomer will ensure that you receive an unforgettable cosmic experience.

  • Wow - what an amazing place to celebrate an anniversary! The lodge and its location are stunning, the food was great, but it was the staff and their commitment to guest satisfaction that really won us over.

  • Easily the best place on our trip on every aspect. Great location, excellent staff who were well trained and so keen to be of help. Food very good and a nice touch on leaving was to give us water for our next journey.
