• Interpretive Wilderness Walks - as many of the desert's attractions are small and well camouflaged, guided and marked walking trails offer the perfect opportunity to experience this fascinating desertscape on foot.

• Stargazing - Traverse magnificent desert skies from the Lodge's private observatory, boasting the most powerful electronic telescope in Namibia apart from the National Observatory. Sossusvlei's resident astronomer will ensure that you receive an unforgettable cosmic experience.

• Game Drives & Quadbiking Excursions - Resident naturalists will lead you on scenic game drives in open 4x4 vehicles or on quad bikes, exploring the grass plains and red sand dune belts of the NamibRand Nature Reserve, giving you the opportunity to spot rare wildlife like the oryx antelope and mountain zebra.

Experience the haunting beauty of the Namib Desert at Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge, situated in the foothills of the private NamibRand Nature Reserve in Namibia. The Namib, known as "The Living Desert", is a world of vast space, endless horizons, dramatic desertscapes and jagged mountain heights.

Led by Sossusvlei's expert rangers and naturalists, explore the desert by quadbikes (all-terrain 4-wheeled motorcycles), open 4x4 vehicles, or even by hot-air balloons. Excursions to the famous Sossusvlei sand dunes, the highest in the world, and Sesriem Canyon will add to this unforgettable desert-safari experience.

The split-level main lodge features a fire-lit bar, comfortable sitting room, mezzanine library with CD and book collection, swimming pool, wraparound verandas and African gift shop. The pool is fed by water from an underground spring.
