Sossusvlei Lodge

Sossusvlei Lodge stands at the entrance to the Namib-Naukluft Park at Sesriem, so the gate for Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and Sesriem Canyon is practically on the doorstep. It belongs to the Taleni Africa group, and its restaurant and Adventure Centre also serve the group’s two neighbouring camps, Desert Quiver Camp and Sossus Oasis. Pick it if you want everything handled for you.

What to expect

There are 44 Superior Units, each a twin room with air-conditioning, a patio facing the desert and the Naukluft ridges, and a bathroom with a corner bath and a separate shower. Two of them are built for wheelchair users. The Standard Family Units are two rooms back to back, joined by a lockable door between the bathrooms. There is one Junior Suite with a king-size bed, a lounge and a plunge pool on the terrace.

Breakfast and dinner are buffets. The dining terrace looks onto a floodlit waterhole where oryx, springbok and jackal come in to drink. There is a bar with a sundowner deck above it, a pool and a beer garden under old acacias.

Practical details

• Getting there: on the C27 and D826 at Sesriem. Windhoek is roughly 330 km away.
• Reception +264 63 293 636. Bookings through Taleni Africa on +27 21 930 4564.
• Wi-Fi only in the bar, beer garden, pool area and conference centre, not in the rooms.
• The family units are about 250 m from the main building, too far for anyone who struggles to walk.

Good to know

Order a packed breakfast at reception before 6pm if you plan to drive to the dunes at first light, and a lunch pack the same way. Being at the gate does not get you in early: the gate opens at sunrise for everyone staying outside the park. The Adventure Centre runs guided drives to Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, sunrise walks on Elim Dune and balloon and scenic flights.
