Namibia

Eagle’s Nest Lodge

PLAN MY TRIP

Constructed into rounded granite boulders against a rugged mountain, Eagle's Nest Chalets are private self-catering retreats just four miles from the main lodge at Desert Horse Inn.

Unique accommodations consist of only eight, secluded chalets snuggled against the mountain slope affording sweeping views of the Namib Desert. Each chalet features an en suite bathroom with a shower, a kitchenette, a cozy fireplace, and private veranda with chairs, a table, and an outdoor barbecue. Meals are served at the Desert Horse Inn restaurant of guests can grab a take-away breakfast or barbecue packs upon request or even cook up their own meal. There are double chalets, double bed chalets, four-bed chalets, and two-bed chalets available.

The chalets are set in the rocky Aus Mountains where the Namib sands merge into the sun-bleached grasses of the Pro-Namib. The Namib Desert is one of the oldest and largest deserts in the world and is more than 1,000 miles long and up to 100 miles wide. The desert is famous for its massive sand dunes especially Sossuvlei area, these reddish-orange dunes are some of the largest in the world, with some exceeding 1,000 feet. Small populations of lizard, gecko, gerbil, mole, hyaena, and jackal have learned to subsist here. There is even a unique population of elephants who have adapted to the arid climate. The plains and the dunes also support large numbers of several varieties of antelope, especially gemsbok and springbok, as well as ostriches and some zebras.

Guided drives explore the fascinating plant and animal world of the Succulent Karoo as they travel through Gondwana Sperrgebiet Rand Park. There are also self-guided driving tours available for those seeking to discover the area on their own. Guests can relish the freedom and exhilaration of riding a Namibian bred horse across the vast desert landscape. For the more adventurous, there are several mountain bike trails through the Aus Mountains in Gondwana Sperrgebiet Rand Park and the neighboring Farm Kubub. For nature lovers, the lodge offers six marked hiking trails for beginners to more advanced hikers. Hiking is the best way to see the flora and fauna of the region.

While the Eagle’s Nest is the perfect spot to escape back into nature and has all the facilities necessary to be self-sufficient, guess can choose to eat at the nearby Desert Horse Inn restaurant as well. Sundowners can be enjoyed on the restaurant’s veranda. There is also a bar, cozy lounge, and a refreshing horse-shoe shaped swimming pool available at the main inn as well as free Wi-Fi.
