The Desert Homestead and Horse Trails

Lodges near Sossusvlei

The Desert Homestead offers simple but stylish accomodation in thatched chalets which were designed with the fragile beauty of this remarkable environment in mind. The lodge is situated approximately 32 kilometers from Sesriem, the gateway to Sossusvlei.

The Desert Homestead offers respite from the extreme temperatures of the Namib Desert. Set in tranquil surroundings, alfresco dining, delectably fresh farm cuisine, refreshing dips in the pool, stunning sunsets and sunrises are the basic pleasures of the lodge.

The lodge offers 20 thatched, en-suite chalets, all luxuriously decorated in pale linens and dark wood riempie furniture. Each unit has its own verandah under a latte canopy with northern views extending to the Rotterkaum Mountains. Inside the chalets provide luxury, with large single or double beds and en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet. The lights and fans in the guest accommodation are solar powered. A special feature of the lodge is that all the guest amenities (soaps, shampoo, body lotion etc.) are environmetally friendly.
