Sossus Dune Lodge is currently the only lodge inside the Namib-Naukluft National Park offering its guests the great opportunity to access the magnificent red sand dunes of Sossusvlei before the park gates open in the morning, and after they have closed for the evening.

Sossus Dune Lodge, Inside Sossusvlei Park

Located just 4 km from the Sesriem gate Sossus Dune Lodge nests at the base of a mountain with extraordinary views of the distant dunes to the west.  Guests can walk directly from Sossus Dune lodge into the nearby Sesriem Canyon.

Sossus Dune Lodge has a total of 25 chalets: 13 with views of the dunes, and 12 looking towards the mountains and canyons. Each chalet has been built using wooden frame with orange/yellow canvas for walls (to match the colors of the environment), all with a thatch roof.  They resemble traditional Owambo homes on its loosest terms.  The last chalet on either side is a ‘honeymoon suite,’ which have an additional small open-air lounge.

The chalets at Sossus Dune Lodge are linked by raised wooden walkways and have been constructed from rock and stone found locally.  All chalets have a large en-suite bathroom, complete with hot shower, double basin and a flush toilet.  Mosquito nets are provided.  The lights and fans are powered by solar and guests are complimented with environmentally friendly soaps, shampoo, body lotion, etc.  Every room at Sossus Dune Lodge is furnished with leather and wood furniture and suede loungers.

The front of the chalets have floor-to-ceiling glass, further offering fantastic views of the surrounding desert from inside the comforts of your own private quarters as well as from the large verandah outside.  The top of the glass windows open allowing air to flow freely throughout.

The central lounge at Sossus Dune Lodge, also connected by raised wooden walkways, includes a restaurant and separate lounge and bar – all with large sliding doors with large windows exposing the beautiful desert view.  Guests can cool off at the swimming pool with loungers, but should bring suntan lotion because there is little shade provided.  Self-drive guest can park under shaded canopy and transported to lodge by golf cart.
