SET AGAINST THE SWEEPING DESERT PLAINS
12 cool tented chalets set against the sweeping desert plains and fiery red dunes of the breathtaking NamibRand Nature Reserve.
The lodge lies deep within this 200,000-hectare wilderness, a striking landscape that you’ll be able to explore on horseback, game drives, quad bikes, hot air balloon and helicopter flights.
Keeping your eyes peeled all the while for a glimpse of gemsbok, bat-eared foxes and other unique, desert-adapted wildlife. Day trips out to the mighty dunes of Sossusvlei can also be arranged.
Africa’s very first designated International Dark Sky Reserve, the stargazing opportunities in the NamibRand are simply sensational. Each chalet has its own open-to-the-sky ‘stargazer’ room just for admiring the constellations, as well as a vintage four-poster bed, outdoor shower and shaded veranda where you can take in the stunning desert vistas. The main area has a refreshing pool, a well-stocked bar and library. Large glass doors and windows that make the most of the outdoor scenery.
