Sossus Dune Lodge was the first lodge in the Namib-Naukluft Park at Sossuvlei,
opened in June 2007. Up until that point the only available accommodation inside
the park was Sesriem Campsite.
Situated within the national park, guests benefit from being able to reach Sossusvlei before sunrise, and stay until after sunset, and on their return after an exhilarating day, relax in the tranquility and splendor of the Namib Desert, under the spectacular African sky.
Built in an environmentally sensitive manner, primarily from wood, canvas and thatch, in an attractive 'afro-village' style, Sossus Dune Lodge offers guests an evocative and life changing experience.
The rooms at Sossus Dune Lodge are in the form of beautifully appointed environmentally sensitive canvas and wood chalets
each with a view into the Namib Desert.
Each Chalet has its own ensuite shower and bathroom, mosquito nets, verandah for sitting and enjoying the scenery, Tea/Coffee station, towels and for the cold winter nights, when temperatures in the desert drop rapidly, a cosy duvet to keep guests warm.
The main reason to visit Sossus Dune Lodge is of course to visit Sossusvlei, one of the biggest tourist attractions in Namibia.
Sossus Dune Lodge is inside the Sossusvlei National Park allowing guests early access to the sand dunes 1 hour before sunrise when the park gate opens for guests staying outside the park.
Also popular for visitors to Sossusvlei is Sesriem Canyon which is just outside the park gate.
Sossus Dune Lodge offers professional guided tours, fully unleashing the beauty and biological diversity of the desert environment to visitors.
