Namib Desert Lodge, Gondwana Collection Namibia

Namib Desert Lodge, operated by Gondwana Collection Namibia, is situated at the foot of ancient fossilised dunes in the Namib Desert. The lodge offers a magnificent view of the red sand sea and serves as an ideal base for exploring the Sossusvlei region, located 60km away from the bustle of Sesriem.

The property features 66 en suite rooms, including twin, double, triple, and family configurations, with one room specially adapted for guests with restricted mobility. All rooms are air-conditioned and offer views of either the desert landscape or fossilised dunes. The lodge's amenities include a restaurant, bar, curio shop, two cold water swimming pools, WiFi, 24-hour security, and secure parking.

Activities available to guests include guided Sossusvlei excursions, morning and afternoon nature drives through the Gondwana Namib Park, guided desert night walks, and self-guided hiking trails. A highlight of the experience is the opportunity to witness spectacular sunsets over the dunes and observe local wildlife, such as gemsbok, at the lodge's waterhole.

For a more intimate desert experience, guests can opt to stay at the Dune Star Camp, a remote hideaway featuring wooden bungalows with wheeled beds that allow for sleeping under the stars. The camp includes a dining area with a large wooden deck offering panoramic views of the desert landscape.

The lodge welcomes families and provides special accommodation rates for children. The property maintains a welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere while offering modern conveniences and serves as an excellent base for desert exploration and wildlife viewing.
