Desert Hills Lodge is located in a lovely valley setting with an unspoiled and uninterrupted panoramic view of the Namib Desert and Naukluft Mountains.  The terrain is ever changing, from a backdrop of the most beautiful mountains – the often multi-coloured and rocky desert landscapes to scrubby bush and dried up river beds.

This isolated area is a wonderer’s paradise, with many rock outcrops to explore, and at sunset and sunrise the light and shadows cast over the rocks create awe inspiring views. After breakfast, you are free to enjoy the activities offered at the lodge, such as nature walks, drives to scenic viewpoints, and marveling at the unique Namib fauna and flora.

Explore the fascinating desert flora and fauna which adapted to the harsh environment. The Namib Desert, being an ancient landscape, is interesting due to the fact that its biodiversity has had millennia to evolve and adapt to its harsh and unforgiving conditions. Fauna in the Sossusvlei area is relatively rich. It mostly comprises small animals that can survive with little water, including a number of arthropods, small reptiles and small mammalians such as rodents or jackals); bigger animals include antelopes (mainly oryx and springboks) and ostrichs. Countless creatures have evolved to contently inhabit this otherworldly environment, such as burrow-digging geckos, scorpions and spiders, or the beetles, which conjure up inventive ways to exploit the regular fog to obtain necessary moisture. Animal life in the desert is surprisingly diverse, mostly arthropods and reptiles which survive on little water, but also some larger species have also adapted to desert conditions. Larger animals such as bat-eared fox, oryx, springbok, and ostrich might also be encountered.

Visit to the famous Sossusvlei Dunes and the Sesriem Canyon.  Wake up early to enjoy the early morning light on the sea of vivid orange dunes of Sossusvlei.  The Sesriem Canyon, a natural canyon carved by the Tsauchab River as it carves through the sedimentary rock. The name Sesriem is Afrikaans and means “six belts”, given by settlers who had to tie together six belts in order to lower buckets down into the canyon to scoop up water. A visit here is a must, as well as to the Naukluft Mountains where there are beautiful natural streams.

Optional and weather permitting - take part on a Hot Air Balloon Trip.  Hot air ballooning over the Namib Desert is an absolute must for anyone considering a holiday to Namibia and visiting the Namib Desert. The tranquility of your flight will give you unsurpassed views and plenty of photographic opportunities. The splendour of the Namib plays out in front of you as you soar with the winds for an hour over the ocean of sand and mountains. Below is an endless vista of shadow and light, red dunes intermingling with dark mountains linked by pristine gravel plains.Sossusvlei itself is staggeringly strange - pans of cracked, white earth, sprouting the gnarled shapes of lifeless trees.
