Namib Desert Lodge

About Namib Desert Lodge

Namib Desert Lodge is located close to Namib-Naukluft National Park. In this park you’ll find the famous Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, which are surrounded by the highest dunes in the world. You can head into the park on your own or join a guided tour to Sossusvlei.

The lodge also offers sunrise and sunset drives. A tour lasts around 2–3 hours and snacks and drinks are served along the way.

You can also explore the area around the lodge on foot. Just pick up a hiking map at reception and discover the beautiful desert landscape under your own steam.

Or you can reserve one of the e-bikes and head off exploring. The special thing here is that these are not normal e-bikes. You’ll be given a fatbike with extra wide tyres, which lets you ride through the soft sand with ease. You’ll also be given a trail map at reception.

When it gets dark in the desert, another activity awaits you. Did you know that scorpions glow in the dark when you shine a UV torch on them? On this short but very exciting tour you’ll head out with a guide in search of glowing scorpions.

The lodge has 66 rooms, all housed in small bungalows. These include 4 triple rooms and 4 family rooms, each with 4 beds.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a safe, a bathroom with shower and a tea and coffee station. In front of each unit there is a veranda from which you have a wonderful view of the African savannah or the fossilised dunes of the ancient Namib.

There are two pools with cold water where you can cool off on hot days. Sun loungers and sun umbrellas are also available so you can relax by the pool.

The lodge has a restaurant and a bar. You can help yourself at the buffet and eat either under the open sky or in the thatched restaurant.

There is also a floodlit waterhole, which is visited by oryx antelopes and Springboks.
