Namibia

Namib Desert Lodge

PLAN MY TRIP

Lying at the foot of a fossilized dune, Namib Desert Lodge is an oasis of comfort in the vast and spectacular Namib Desert.

Accommodations at the lodge consist of sixty-five rooms. Most of the rooms are twins and include two comfy twin beds, air-conditioning, and an en suite bathroom with a shower. The triple rooms come with an open plan bedroom with three beds and an en suite bathroom. While the spacious family room features four beds. Every room enjoys a private veranda where guests can relax and enjoy a morning coffee or afternoon book while admiring either the immense desert or the ancient fossilized dune.

The lodge is located in the red sand sea of the Namib Desert. Stretching from southern Kaokoveld in the north to the South Africa Karoo in the south, the Namib is more than 1,000 miles long and up to 100 miles wide. The desert is perhaps most famous for its sand dunes. Especially in the Sossuvlei area, these reddish-orange dunes are some of the largest in the world, with some exceeding 1,000 feet. Surprisingly in this harsh environment, plenty of wildlife have adapted to life in the desert. 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.

The lodge offers either a morning or sunset drive through the magnificent Namib Desert. From the comfort of a 4WD vehicle, guests can discover the fossilized dunes, the red dunes above the plateau, and the many wonders of the Namib Desert on this guided drive around Gondwana Namib Park. For those wishing to explore the area on their own, there are several walking trails around the lodge. Just make sure to wear proper footwear and sunscreen and bring plenty of water. For the ultimate desert experience, spend a night in the dunes at Dune Star Camp. The spacious wooden bungalows have beds with wheels to enable guests to sleep out under the stars and a dining area with a large wooden deck which affords the best views of the landscape.

The main area of the lodge has a down-to-earth and homey quality. The cozy restaurant serves up delicious meals and buffets. While the pool provides a cool respite from the heat of the afternoon sun. Guests can observe the local waterhole and watch gemsbok come for a drink as well as many other animals.
