Namib Desert Lodge
Hotel
The Namib Desert Lodge is situated amidst the pristine beauty of the Gondwana Namib Park, a private concession owned and managed by the Gondwana Desert Collection. The reserve is located approximately 60 kilometres north of Sesriem, gateway to the world-famous Sossusvlei.
Featuring a total of 50 rooms, the Namib Lodge lies at the foot of the Petrified Dunes – an exceptional phenomenon: In the course of the Millennia, sand dunes compacted to form the striking red rocks which nowadays surrealistically read more » rise above the ground.
Recently redecorated, the Namib Desert Lodge sports a quaint but stylish interior. The cosy restaurant has earned itself a reputation for its selection of local delicacies, African cuisine and international dishes.
Having dined to your stomach’s full content, how about a sundowner mixed to perfection by the friendly pool bar staff. On a hot day, both the bar and the pool, set under gently swaying palm trees, promise relief from the heat.
A TV lounge allows you to stay in contact with current events and watch movies at night. A souvenir shop sells little gifts for your loved ones at home.
Those interested in natural history and nature will be pleased to learn that a desert information centre is located nearby. We recommend you pay the equally educative and entertaining institution a visit and join an excursion to better appreciate the scenic landscape.
After the sun has set, keep your eyes on the artificially lit waterholes. Water being scarce, the waterholes are certain to attract Elands, antelopes and Springboks - a spectacular sight. However, the activity highlight undoubtedly is a trip up to the peak of the world’s highest dune … a memory you will forever cherish!
