Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp

Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp is situated 34 kilometres from Sesriem, the entrance to Sossusvlei within the heart of Namibia's Namib Desert. This is one of the most remarkable sites in the Namib~Naukluft Park and the Namib Desert. Huge towering dunes, the highest in the world, rise dramatically over 1000 feet above the surrounding plains at Sossusvlei itself. The spectacle of changing colours and the lonely Oryx silhouetted against red dunes is one which visitors and photographers from around the world come to savour and capture on film.

The camp is situated on the 21,000 hectare Kulala Wilderness Reserve with wonderful desert scenery. It affords access to Sossusvlei, but also offers privacy and exclusivity. The property harbours vast desert plains and rugged mountains with views onto the dunes in the distance. The camp has been built near the top of a mountain, using natural materials of brick, rock, timber and thatch, and provides a refuge from the desert. We have only nine guest rooms, each with its own private plunge pool.

The rooms are superbly appointed and offer comfort and atmosphere. The en suite bathrooms also have panoramic views overlooking the plains below and have hot and cold running water, showers and flush toilets. The main living area is under thatch with a pool. We have an outdoor deck where guests enjoy dinner under the stars and a dedicated star~gazing platform with a powerful telescope for those keen on admiring the night skies. The Namib is considered by many to be the finest star~gazing area in Southern Africa.
