Namib Naukluft Lodge

Namib Naukluft Lodge caters for the individual holidaymaker. Its architectural design allows unity with nature: backed by impressive granite hills, which are granting a natural protection against the East winds. Enjoy the stunning view onto the open plains from every room and the main veranda.

Arrive at Namib Naukluft Lodge after a long drive and the friendly receptionist will welcome you with a drink and a smile. Feel at home and check-into your en-suite, stylishly furnished room with inside and outdoor seating, air-conditioning, private veranda, refrigerator and direct dial telephone.

The main building offers a comfortable lounge exhibiting local décor items as well as original paintings, prints and hand-woven carpets from local artists.

Traditional meals are served on the veranda or prepared by the chef on the open fire in the lapa, enhancing the feeling of a very special desert evening.

The bar, and in winter, the fireplace offer a cozy round-up of a great and adventurous day.

The early morning hours, when the desert seems to wake-up and stretch, the sun giving its first tender light, it is the ideal time to go for an easy walk. Well marked walking trails lead up the granite hill, around the mountain or to the near-by bird-hide. It is the best time for the keen photographer!

There’s even a 9-hole desert golf course offering an experience of a different kind!

During the heat of the day after taking part in one of the excursions the best spot to linger is at the crystal clear swimming pool, which offers a sun-bath as well as a cool splash!

These fixed structure with canvas partitions offer a spacious interior with en-suite facilities, giving you the feeling of a rustic, close to nature tented camp. Its communal boma offers the facilities of an interactive kitchen, where the preparation for food can be arranged or self-organized.
