SOSSUSVLEI MOUNTAIN LODGE Luxurious desert lodge Magnificent Namib Desert Namib-Naukluft National Park Variety of exciting desert activities

Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge is situated in the heart of the pristine 180 000-hectare (444 780 acre) NamibRand Nature Reserve in the magnificent Namib-Naukluft National Park. The diverse landscape changes from expansive gravel plains to undulating dunes, rugged canyons with towering walls of volcanic rock and distant mountain ranges.

Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge offers a sophisticated desert experience and comprises just 10 stone and glass desert villas overlooking an expansive Namib gravel plain leading into a sea of dunes. Each spacious air-conditioned suite features a shaded deck, split-level bedroom and living room with fireplace for winter evenings, en suite glass-encased bathroom and outdoor shower. The villas are equipped with a star-viewing sky light, fully- stocked personal bars and compact telescopes for game-spotting. The elegant split-level main lodge comprises bar, dining-room, wine cellar, sitting room and terrace, upper library and viewing deck, CD and book collection, swimming pool and gift shop.

Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge’s expert resident rangers and naturalists guide guests through this desert wonderland on walks, in open safari vehicles and riding all-terrain four-wheeled motorcycles (ATVs). Excursions to the famous, gorgeously hued Sossusvlei dunes, the highest in the world, are unforgettable. At the end of the day the blanket of stars which lights up the desert sky are brought to life through the Lodge’s high-powered computerised telescope. Housed in a separate building, this Meade Telescope affords the amateur and the professional stargazer a close-up view of the galaxy.
