Namibia Sossusvlei Wilderness camp.                              

Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp is located in one of the most remarkable sites in the Namib Desert. The camp is situated on a 21 000 hectare private reserve, 20 kilometres from Sesriem, the Park's entrance to the Sossusvlei dunes. The camp's location provides easy access to Sossusvlei via a private entrance, yet also offers privacy and exclusivity. The camp has been built near the top of a mountain, using rock, brick, timber and thatch and provides a comfortable refuge from the desert. We have 9 guest rooms, each with 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. Wonderful desert breakfasts are served under camel-thorn acacias surrounded by the dunes. Afternoon nature drive or walking activities 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.
