Places to Stay for Ultimate Luxury
Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is nothing short of magnificent; a secluded palace in a rugged oasis in the heart of the desert, lying beneath an endless sky.
This luxury tented camp is situated close to the Hoanib River and straddles both the Palmvag Concession and the Skeleton Coast National Park. The Hoanib Valley is a truly unique environment, strikingly beautiful and remote. Staying at the Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp you will see the valley at its finest, and get close to the wonderful wildlife residing here.
Natural Selection’s Hoanib Valley Camp is a joint venture between local communities and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. It’s an elegant, intimate camp with strong ecological and sustainability credentials, reflecting the priorities of its local partners.
Unique design set in the heart sun-bleached coastal dunes of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, Shipwreck Lodge is one of Africa’s most innovative modern camps.
Looking across the river to the scenic mountains of Angola, a remote sense of peace envelopes you at Serra Cafema.
Personal, boutique and luxurious, Little Ongava is an experience in itself. Wonderful game-viewing right on its doorstep and in the wider Etosha area are almost added bonuses, even if that is your initial motivation.
Intimate and homely, yet luxurious and indulgent, this place lives up to its name in the local Herero language. Onguma means "The place you don't want to leave."
An exclusive luxury desert retreat within Namibia’s vast NamibRand Nature Reserve, Kwessi Dune’s chalets come with open-air star-gazer rooms. The heavenly views upwards are matched by the stunning desert vistas.
Camps Perfect for Families
Reassuringly rugged and straightforward in its luxury, Camp Sossus is isolated yet still close to the iconic Namibian location of Sossusvlei.
In the Otjiherero language of the Ovahimba people, the word Okahirongo translates as ‘Special Place’. The name is apt for this luxurious & beautiful lodge in its awesome setting.
Andersson’s at Ongava is situated on the 66,000-acre Ongava Private Game Reserve recognised as the nation’s premier big game private game reserve.
Unique design set in the heart sun-bleached coastal dunes of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, Shipwreck Lodge is one of Africa’s most innovative modern camps.
Nestling among rugged boulders on a ridge that provides panoramic views over the surrounding area, Mowani creates the impression of an African village. The asperous landscape is a magnificent backdrop to the camp’s thatched cottages, and the desert-adapted wildlife remains completely undisturbed as its environmental footprint is so light.
