About Namib Dune Star Camp
About Namib Dune Star Camp
Namib Dune Star Camp is run by Gondwana Collection and is located in the middle of the Namib Desert. During the planning and construction great care was taken to ensure that the camp leaves as little trace as possible.
The eco-friendly camp is supplied with electricity by solar panels on the bungalows. These provide hot water for the showers and light in the evenings. As the power is limited, there are no sockets or air conditioning in the rooms.
Check-in takes place at the nearby Namib Desert Lodge, which is also run by Gondwana Collection. In the afternoon you are driven to the camp in an open safari vehicle. The drive takes about 20 minutes.
After you arrive you can go on a guided walk and enjoy a cold drink. Dinner is then served at a large table in the main building. The next morning you are driven back to the lodge where a delicious breakfast buffet is waiting for you.

Where you'll spend your time
There are 9 bungalows, all of which are set individually on a slope.
Each bungalow has a spacious bedroom and a large veranda from which you have a fantastic view of the Namib Desert.
You can also roll the cosy double bed out onto the veranda and spend the night under a gigantic starry sky. All bungalows have a double bed and an additional fixed single bed.
The bungalows have a bathroom with shower. Toiletries are also provided.
As the bungalows are powered by solar energy, there is light and hot water. However, note that there are no sockets. For peace of mind you could bring a power bank to charge your devices.
Your accommodation
The camp has a restaurant and a bar. There are several seating areas on the terrace. This is an ideal place for a drink at sunset.

Nachtwanderung
There are guided walks at sunrise and sunset. The walk leads through the surrounding dunes and takes about an hour. Your guide will explain, among other things, the different animal tracks in the sand.
You can also join a night walk. Equipped with a UV torch you go in search of scorpions. Did you know that these inconspicuous animals glow when they are illuminated by the torch in the dark? You really should not miss this natural spectacle. And at the same time you will learn a lot about the constellations in the night sky.
Where you'll find it
The camp is 35 kilometres or 30 minutes south-west of Solitaire. As you cannot drive to Namib Dune Star Camp yourself, a shuttle service will take you there. The transfer is from Namib Desert Lodge.
