Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge 
Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge is situated in the heart of the Namib Desert on the farm Vreemdelingspoort, one of 11 farms that make up the NamibRand Nature Reserve.Ten stone and glass desert air-conditioned suites of Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge combine unprecedented sophistication with the stark beauty of the desert landscape. There is a fireplace in the split-level lounge for winter evenings. For the hot desert days, there are showers in the en suite, glass-encased bathroom. There are also outdoor showers for starlit bathing. The split-level main lodge is a dramatic structure of glass and stone curves. Walls have become windows, or fold away completely, engaging the vast desert vistas. The swimming pool is fed by an underground spring, emerging from deep within the desert. There is something deliciously contradictory about floating in a pool in the middle of the world's oldest desert. On winter evenings, guests can select wine from the walk-in wine cellar before wandering through to the fire-lit bar. After relaxing, drink in hand, in the main lounge and terrace, or in our upper lounge and viewing deck, you may browse through our curio shop or CD and book library. In the cool of morning and evening, the resident naturalist will take you in four-wheel drive open vehicles to explore the open grass plains, fossilised sand dunes and orange sand dune belts of the NamibRand Nature Reserve. In the desert, many of the real attractions are small and well-camouflaged, and may easily be missed. Guided walks are also available - or you may do some exploring on your own along marked walking trails. Hot-air ballooning over the Namib is an optional extra (weather permitting). More exciting optional extras are a guided 4x4 excursion to spectacular Sossusvlei, site of the highest sand dunes on earth. You may also choose to go on guided 4x4 excursions to Sesriem Canyon or the famous Sossusvlei pans, resting place of the Tsauchab River. Excursions on ATVs (automatic, all-terrain, four-wheel motorcycles) are also available. For stargazers, the crisp, dry desert air provides unrivalled opportunities to be mesmerised by the Milky Way. Tribute to its prime position is Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge's own observatory, housing the most powerful electronic telescope in Namibia outside the National Observatory. Knowledgeable field guides will direct you through the southern skies and tell of the expanding cosmos.  View more accommodation in the Namib Desert Region.ACCOMMODATION IN NAMIBIA: |
