Inspired by Dead Vlei, the design of the 10 luxury desert suites has been cleverly expanded to offer improved airflow, and the use of brick and glass, and a thatch roof, further enhances temperature control. The interior décor echoes the natural beauty of the surrounding desert, replicated in the colour palette and featured art.
Each room has a spacious deck, sala and private plunge pool, designed to merge into the timeless desert setting. A private rooftop area for romantic stargazing, and sleep-outs on the bottom deck of each room, complete the experience.

Hot Air Ballooning
The 37 000-hectare (91 429-acre) private Kulala Wilderness Reserve offers visitors exclusive wildlife-viewing opportunities which include the likes of gemsbok (oryx), bat-eared fox, brown hyena and birdlife. Sundowner stops in scenic parts of the reserve are a highlight.
World-famous Sossusvlei is the name of an enormous clay pan, flanked by a field of famous towering sand dunes that flush red in the early morning sun. Close to the Sossusvlei pan is Dead Vlei, another pan where water once flowed. However, all that remains now are the skeletons of camelthorn trees that reach up out of the cracked earth.
Set out in the late afternoon for a nature drive and complete your excursion in a remote and dramatic spot on the reserve sipping a gin and tonic while watching the sunset.
This fascinating geographical formation is well worth a visit. The result of millions of years where water carved its way across the topography. At three kilometres long, the views from the top of Sesriem Canyon are breathtaking while walks through the canyon gorge reveal distinct geographical layers which were laid down over aeons.
Walking trails focus on becoming immersed in this remote area, as well as its scenic beauty and the fascinating, and surprisingly, diverse array of insects, reptiles and rodents which make this dry and harsh region their home. The Tsauchab River Trail provides a revealing stroll along a productive dry riverbed.
After dark, another realm of the Namib awakes. Walks reveal some of these captivating critters such as dancing white lady spiders and numerous scorpion species which fluoresce under UV light.
Delight in a sleep-out experience under the starry starry skies of the Namib and be lulled to sleep by the sounds of Africa on the bottom deck of your accommodation.
The Namib is known for its clear night skies, and with no light pollution it is the ideal spot from which to learn about the incredible formations of the stars and planets. Our guides are also known to dabble in astronomy and will guide you through the constellations.
The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) certifies as a Dark Sky Reserve “a public or private land, possessing an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, cultural, heritage and public enjoyment.” NamibRand was accorded Gold Tier International Dark Sky Reserve status in 2012, after it expanded its conservation role to include preserving the star-filled night-time skies that shine above its dunes and mountains. Lauded as one of the darkest locations ever designated by the IDA , the reserve is described as one of the nighttime environments that have little to no impact from light pollution and artificial light.
The hot air balloon safari on the Kulala Wilderness Reserve offers a truly unique bird's-eve view experience of the remote wilderness below. Soar above the magnificent sand dunes and roaring desert, with a champagne breakfast being served upon landing.

Hoanib Valley Camp | Hoanib River
The Hoanib Valley is a well known linear oasis of vegetation running through one of the most spectacularly beautiful deserts in Africa. Large game such as desert adapted elephant, giraffe, zebra, lion and rhino move freely through this vast, mountainous and wild landscape.Hoanib Valley Camp sits on the bank of the Obias River, overlooking the Hoanib River Valley - a valley that fluctuates between seasonal river flows through grassy, springbok-dotted plains or dry sandy riverbeds with resident elephant.
Hoanib Valley Camp is ‘’clean and green’’ , leaving virtually no footprint on this fragile eco-system. The camp has been built in partnership with the Sesfontein community and the most successful long-term giraffe research organisation in the world, the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Their research not only focuses on the desert-adapted giraffe of the Hoanib, but helps to monitor elephant and general game in the area.
Six tents (1 family and 5 twin) are raised on spacious decks, each with their own private veranda. Tents are en-suite with a separate toilet. Hoanib Valley Camp runs on solar power. There will be low volt charging points in the tents for batteries and cameras but you’ll have to leave hairdryers at home. Good, wholesome meals created by the wonderful chefs are served to guests.

Shipwreck Lodge | Skeleton Coast
Shipwreck Lodge is the only lodge inside the Skeleton Coast National Park, 45km north of Mowe Bay on the mouth of the Hoarusib River. Uniquely designed around the relics of shipwrecks that dot Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, there’s nowhere on the continent quite like Shipwreck Lodge. In fact, there’s nowhere on earth quite like the Skeleton Coast. It’s a raw, rugged and impossibly remote slice of African wilderness, where towering dunes and wind-swept plains roll as far as the eye can see, buffeted by the icy Atlantic seas.
But there’s much more to the area than simple isolation. Stay at Shipwreck Lodge and track desertdwelling elephant and elusive desert lion. Discover the enchanting desert flora (succulents and lichens) then sit atop the dunes as the sun sinks below the horizon. Spend the day beachcombing for whale bones and debris from centuries of shipwrecks or marvel at the geologically-remarkable Clay Castles.
Shipwreck Lodge is a joint venture partnership with Namibian businesses, local communities and Natural Selection. This brand new camp boasts an innovatively designed lounge and restaurant with a wide deck and uninterrupted views all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. 10 cabins (8 twins and 2 family tents) are en-suite and solar powered all with views of the wild Atlantic Ocean. To keep guests warm on the cold coastal nights each tent has a wood burning stove.
