A must-see on the list of any traveller to Namibia, is the world-famous phenomenon of Sossusvlei - the magical place where some of the biggest dunes in the world surround the white pans where, after flowing through the Sesriem Canyon, the intermittent Tsauchab river is absorbed by the desert sands.
The C19 road runs along the edge of the Namib-Naukluft National Park where the Namibrand area meets the spectacular Namib Desert.
The magnificent sea of red sand is edged off with massive fossilised dunes, changing the landscape into breathtaking grassy plains, dotted with the occasional tree.
Situated at the foot of some of these mountainous dunes, the Namib Desert Lodge is 60 km north of Sesriem - the entrance to the Park and to Sossusvlei.
The Namib Desert Lodge provides the beautiful and comfortable facilities needed to make a visit to this area an unforgettable experience.
