Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp

Location

Situated 40 km from Sesriem which is the main gateway to the Namib Naukluft Park and the dunes at Sossusvlei.

Accommodation and facilities

There are nine superbly appointed chalets, each with a plunge pool on a raised wooden deck. The bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms all have panoramic views of the surrounding plains and dunes in the distance. The main area is under thatch with an outdoor deck where guests enjoy sundowners or dinner under the stars, while breakfasts are sometimes served under camel thorn trees amongst the dunes. The clear African night skies are viewed through a powerful telescope from the stargazing platform.

Activities and game viewing

The camp offers easy access to Sossusvlei as well as privacy and exclusivity, so early morning excursions to the dunes and the vlei are most popular. Awe-inspiring ballooning safaris are at extra cost. Experienced guides bring the desert to life during nature drives and walks, with night drives producing sightings of nocturnal species such as aardwolf, Cape fox, black-backed jackal and bat-eared fox.
