Situated adjacent to the oldest desert in the world,
Sossusvlei Lodge is a luxurious retreat in this
premier tourist attraction area in Namibia. Shaded
by camel thorn trees, the Lodge blends in perfectly
with the spectacular desert surrounds and bears
testament to the ingenuity of an eco-friendly
design.
Explore the vastness of Namibia's unspoiled natural
environment with the Sossusvlei Lodge Adventure
Centre. Choose from guided Sossusvlei trips, hot
air ballooning, quad buggy nature drives, sundowner trips, bush dinners, guided Elim Dune
walks, archery and scenic flights.
A dip in the sparkling pool or an ice-cold beer
under the shady trees in the Acacia beer garden
makes for the best relaxation after an eventful day.
The al fresco terrace offers magnificent views of
the floodlit waterhole where you can watch the
passing parade of oryx, springbok, jackal, ground
squirrel and hyena, whilst enjoying exquisite food
and wine. Indeed a visual and culinary contrast,
bearing in mind the relative remoteness of this
exceptional location.
The detached accommodation units are carefully
laid out to perfectly blend in with the magnificent
surrounding natural environment.
