DAYS 1, 2 & 3. SOSSUSVLEI DESERT LODGE, NAMIB DESERT
Upon departure from Windhoek, the journey takes you into the increasingly arid expanse of the Namib Desert. Nestled deep within this ancient desert, the oldest known to exist, lies the Sossusvlei Desert Lodge. This expansive private reserve boasts exclusive access to Sossusvlei through a private gate within the national park, a privilege that is vital for experiencing the unparalleled beauty of the towering dunes at Sossusvlei. Here, the landscape is a breathtaking canvas of white, cracked pans blending seamlessly with dunes painted in hues of pink, peach, and red.
The lodge itself features elegantly designed stone and glass suites that are strategically spaced along the escarpment’s curve, offering unobstructed views of the vast desert. Guests can indulge in a variety of activities, including quad biking adventures, immersive nature walks, and hot air balloon rides, each adding a unique dimension to the desert experience.
