Sossusvlei Desert Lodge has a stunning location in Namibrand Game Reserve on the edge of a rocky escarpment with incredible views of an expansive Namib grass plain that leads into a sea of red sand dunes.
Sossusvlei Desert Lodge has ten luxurious and spacious stone and glass villas with a very modern minimalist design that echoes the stark elegance of the surrounding desert.
Each air conditioned suite has a private veranda, split level sitting area with fireplace, star-viewing window above the bed, ensuite glass-encased bathroom with shower and an outdoor shower. The contemporary style throughout is very impressive and pleasing.
The split-level main lodge is an ensemble of glass and stone curves with huge windows maximising the fantastic desertscape. There are quiet hideaways, viewing decks, a bar, fireplace, dining room, main sitting room and terrace, mezzanine library with viewing deck, rim-flow swimming pool and lodge planetrium.
Activities include scenic drives in 4×4 open safari vehicles to the NamibRand Nature Reserve and in closed air-conditioned vehicle excursions to Sossusvlei and the Sesriem Canyon (approximately 6-hour round trip). There are also guided nature walks and marked hiking trails.
Alternatively, guided quad-bike excursions in the dunes can be arranged from the lodge, or try hot air ballooning over the Namib Desert.
Every evening resident astronomers give fascinating and fun presentations on the stars and constellations in the southern African sky at the lodge’s specially designed observatory which has a very powerful telescope.
We visited this lodge again on a recent Namibia trip and the stunning location is always memorable. The hosting, guiding and service from all of the staff was excellent.

We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
