Overlooking the ancient Namib Desert, Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is a haven for the adventure lover! The 10 peaceful and capacious suites offer an oasis of luxury in the heart of this beautiful, vast terrain and truly compliments the natural desert environment. Contemporary and minimalistic in style, guests can take in the extraordinary landscapes of the endless horizons and dramatic colors of the dunes including a retractable skylight above your bed for unique star gazing opportunities (that you can discuss with the resident Astronomer!). We love to enjoy wildlife watching at the waterhole surrounded by views of the impressive dunes (great hiking!). The infinity swimming pool welcomes you to cool off under the sun as well as an island bar with floor to ceiling windows for a more relaxing way to appreciate your surroundings. The two-part wellness center invites you for yoga, meditation, and a state-of-the-art fitness center as well as rejuvenating treatment options from the lodge’s authentic African spa.

Located in Skeleton Coast National Park between the Hoarusib and Hoanib Rivers, the unique and magnificent Shipwreck Lodge mirrors exactly what its name conveys. The property boasts 10 large and alluring cabins shaped like an actual shipwreck (!) situated between the dunes and the Atlantic Ocean, providing a contrasting environment of the jarring desert and the refreshing ocean breeze. Cabins are elegant and earthy with modern touches and an eco-friendly focus. Along with solar powered energy, all cabins include a veranda to take in the spectacular sweeping views across the ocean and a fireplace/wood burning stove for chilly evenings. During your stay, you’ll learn of the mysterious shipwrecks on this coastline, explore the fascinating dunes while searching for wildlife such as elephants, baboons, and hyenas, and immerse yourself in the heritage of the Himba Tribe. We especially love the optional excursion to Möwe Bay and the Seal Colony and the quad biking and sandboarding!

Similar to the relatively small Bisate Lodge in Rwanda, availability at the luxury 7-suite Hoanib Camp on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia is limited and must be requested at least one year in advance. Set in a private concession area, the stark desert landscape here us an otherworldly contrast from Zambia and Rwanda. It is truly a wonderful experience to see elephants, lions, giraffe, and hyena roaming the dunes of this arid environment. Another big plus is its relatively short distance from Namibia’s shoreline, dotted with Cape fur seal colonies! Based on the area’s limited rainfall, Hoanib Camp is a year-round destination, although the local guides feel March to May offers the most idyllic conditions for lush, game-viewing. With no Wi-Fi here, this is a place where you’re temporarily off the grid!

Named for the local giraffe, the stunning newly opened Camp Onduli is quickly becoming a favorite in Namibia! The resort homes 6 en-suites built into granite boulders (!), which help with climate control. These spacious suites are modern in style with wood and glass touches and include a star bed for nighttime gazing, partial open-air bathrooms, and air-conditioned beds. When away from your enclave, you may enjoy the infinity pool, library, or (our favorite!) atmospheric campfire circle. You will have untouched views of nearby Mountain Brandberg and the cathedral-like granite iselbergs. You are conveniently located only 20 minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Twyfelfontein, known for its ancient rock engravings, a must see! There is lots to explore during your time at Camp Onduli, including rhino and elephant tracking, e-biking, and nature drives.

Situated in the privately owned Ongava Game Reserve, Ongava Lodge is truly the premiere lodging resort among the Namibia game reserves. We love the game viewing hides throughout the property and the inviting pool that overlooks the nearby productive waterhole (!). The lodge offers 14 spacious and comfortable chalets with separate bath and shower facilities (indoor and outdoor shower), private deck, mosquito nets, and air conditioning. The rooms are decorated with authentic safari décor, with a touch of contemporary and homey comfort to enrich the stunning surroundings. Our favorite activities include day and night time gaming drives to see both active and more shy wildlife, guided nature walks, and game drives into Etosha National Park. The active lions and rhinos are not to be missed!
