Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp has been built near the top of a mountain overlooking the desert. The use of rock, brick, timber and thatch gives the lodge a very cosy and eclectic feel and provides a comfortable refuge from the harsh desert.
Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp is situated 20km from Sesriem, the park's entrance to the Sossusvlei dunes, which rise dramatically more than 300m above the surrounding plains. The camp's location provides easy access to Sossusvlei, at the same time as offering privacy and exclusivity
The 9 guest rooms at Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp, each each has its own private plunge pool. The bedrooms are well appointed and offer comfort and atmosphere with wonderful views onto the desert plains below. The en-suite bathrooms have panoramic views with both hot and cold running water, showers and flush toilets. The main living area is under thatch with an outdoor deck for dinner under the stars. Activities centre round early morning excursions in 4x4 vehicles to the magnificent Sossusvlei dunes and the "vlei" itself.
Delicious dinners can be enjoyed under the stars on the outdoor deck or inside under the thatch. Each morning at Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp you can tuck into a hearty breakfast which is served under the spreading camelthorn acacias in Sossusvlei. In winter, you have picnics in the vlei and dinner is a 3-course meal incorporating a number of local Namibian dishes, served buffet style.
Afternoon nature drives or walking activities at Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp are enjoyed on the property where guests can spend time taking in the desert scenery and its unique fauna and flora. Incredible ballooning safaris over the Namib are optional and at additional cost.
Lise's thoughts on Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp
The location of Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp is superb as it is close to the famous Sossusvlei Dunes, but is also in a pristine wilderness area.
Because of the elevated position, the views from the rooms are superb and I just wanted to stay in my plunge pool and watch the colours change.
