African Sky recommends a carefully selected range of lodges and camps for stays near Sossusvlei. Our preferred properties cover different comfort levels, locations and budgets, from convenient desert camps near Sesriem to secluded luxury lodges. The selection below focuses on accommodation we consider well suited to the private tours and safaris we arrange.
Location matters more here than almost anywhere in Namibia. The dunes lie some 60 km beyond the Sesriem gate, about an hour's drive, and the gate opens only at sunrise. Sossus Dune Lodge is the only lodge inside the park, which gives its guests a head start on the morning light. Several lodges outside the gate run their own sunrise outings on private land. The last stretch to the vlei is deep sand, covered by 4x4 or on foot. Sesriem Canyon is a short drive from the gate and fits easily into the same day.
