Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp
Sossusvlei - Namibia
Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp is situated 34 kilometres from Sesriem, the entrance to Sossusvlei. 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 Sossusvlei Wilderness 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. Accommodation is on one of 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 at Sossusvlei Wilderness Lodge is under thatch with a pool. The Lodge offers an outdoor deck where guests enjoy dinner under the stars and a dedicated stargazing platform with a powerful telescope for those keen on admiring the night skies.
On the edge of the oldest desert in the world, the Namib, this is not a game rich area, however springbok, oryx and ostrich manage to survive in these harsh conditions. Night drives using spotlights offer sightings of Cape fox, aardwolf, black-backed jackal, bat-eared fox and even the odd spotted hyena.
On the same private reserve are Kulala Lodge, Little Kulala and Kulala Wilderness Lodge

Desert Camp
Competitively priced self catering lodge - very close to the entrance to the Namib Naukluft Park
Desert Homestead
Mid-range accommodation offering some of the best value for money in the area. Horse riding an added activity
Hoodia Desert Lodge
Mid range lodge located only 22km from the Sesriem gate to the Namib-Naukluft Park
Le Mirage Desert Lodge & Spa
Moroccan inspired architecture seems strangely out of place in Namibia. The location, spa and general amenities are good.
Little Kulala
Luxury lodge with guided tour to the dunes using the lodges own private entrance, excellent choice for those looking for a little extra luxury
Namib Naukluft Lodge
Good solid choice, on a beautiful property some distance from the park entrance
Sossusvlei Lodge
Large establishment right next to the Sesriem Campsite, best for keeping driving to a minimum
Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp
Luxury lodge on the same property as the Kulala lodges decorated in african colonial chic style
Weltevrede Rest Camp
Good budget option, cheaper rates equate to less favourable location (in terms of distance)
