About this stay

Complementing the magnificence of the Namib Sand Sea, Namib Desert Lodge lies at the foot of ancient, fossilised dunes. Make some space for wonder. Atop the ridge as the sand begins to glow deep rich sienna, a view of utter beauty is illuminated in gold, extending from the soft dunes around you to the green ribbon of riverine trees in the distance and the purple-blue mountains.

Enjoy the relaxed and friendly ambience while cooling off at the pool, watching gemsbok arrive at the waterhole to drink, walking the trails into the dunes or dining in the cosy restaurant. Sixty-six down-to-earth and homely rooms are eloquently laid out among the ancient Namib sands. It is a place to put up feet, explore, discover, and love. Relax at one of the two sparkling pools, a refreshing treat in the ancient desert.

Enjoy the desert landscapes on a sundowner or sunrise drive in the Gondwana Namib Park or join a daytrip to the highest dunes on Earth at Soussusvlei and experience the beat of the land. Enjoy the quiet at Namib Desert Lodge away from the bustle around Sesriem, 60km away. Ideal for groups, families or individual travellers.

Be prepared to fill up with Namibian desert splendour and a renewed energy for the incredible adventure of life.
