Sossusvlei Desert Lodge

Sossusvlei / Namibia

&Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is a spectacular masterpiece of glass, rock and steel pavilions with a bold geometric structure at the centre. The lodge extends over an ocean of dunes and gravel plains, in perfect harmony with its elemental surrounds. The guest area features floor to ceiling frameless glass panels that fold away to reveal unobstructed desert vistas. The interactive kitchen design allows for guests to create their own dishes and menu should they wish to. A range of singular interior and exterior dining spaces ensures guests never dine in the same place twice.

Activities

Hot-air Ballooning

As the sun’s first rays peek over scarlet sand dunes, the hot air balloon drifts slowly upward revealing the undulating landscapes of Sossusvlei. This soul-satisfying journey offers excellent photographic opportunities and lifelong memories!

Scenic Desert Flight

Take off from nearby the lodge and soar over the vast expanse of the desert for an approximately 60 min helicopter flight. Hover over jagged mountain tops that emerge from the iconic Namib dunes, white mineral pans, rocky outcrops and unique fauna and flora. Be captivated as you fly over a landscape that has remained unchanged for millions of years.

Stargazing

Sossusvlei neighbours Africa’s first International Dark Sky Reserve, which has also been awarded Gold Tier status, declaring it an environment with little to no impact from artificial light. Get a closer look at the night sky from our sophisticated observatory with resident astronomer and state-of-the-art telescope.

Sossusvlei Excursion

This half day adventure takes you into the Namib Naukluft National Park. Learn about the ecosystem, Aeolian geological processes, walk to Deadvlei, perhaps climb a sand dune, and for the fit and adventurous, conquer the towering ‘Big Daddy’.

Hiking

Explore the lodge surrounds on foot and walk in the footsteps of desert-adapted wildlife. Take the time to sit in the stillness under a unique quiver tree and be enchanted by the views from atop the mountains. There are two defined hiking trails, a 2.2 km (1.4 mi) or a 3.4 km (2.1 mi) route waiting to be explored. Combine this with the e-bike self-exploration option on a ‘bike and hike’ adventure.

Location

One of the most pristine areas on Earth, the Namib Desert is a world of vast spaces, endless horizons, dramatic landscapes and jagged mountain heights. The NamibRand Nature Reserve, Southern Africa’s largest private nature reserve, consists of 215 000 hectares (530 300 acres) of unspoiled desert wilderness. The spectacular dunes at Sossusvlei, arrayed in magnificent hues of orange, buttermilk, pumpkin and sienna, are part of the Namib Sand Seawhich is the biggest dune field south of the Sahara. Towering over a vast, dry pan, these towering dunes, shaped by sands millions of years old, are among the highest in the world. Known as the Living Desert, the dunes of the Namib abound with specially adapted wildlife and over 114bird species. A landscape of seemingly endless spaces, profound tranquillity, and extraordinary light, make this one of Africa’s most compelling natural regions.
