Camp Sossus

Camp Sossus emphasises every aspect of our intention to redefine immersive exploration and luxury. Our own definition of this encompasses privacy, intimacy, experiential focus and total flexibility, all whilst being perfectly comfortable. The camp offers just six tented guest rooms and is open year-round, providing a great alternative to any traditional lodge or camp in the Sossusvlei area, whilst offering unparalleled opportunities for immersive exploration of the Namib Desert environment. The large west-facing windows and south-facing doors in the tented guest rooms allow natural cooling by the predominant afternoon south westerly wind, and the tents all have a basic infrastructure that offers important comforts. These include semi open-air en suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot bucket showers with locally sourced amenities, comfortable extra-length three-quarter twin beds, solar lighting, 220V electrical charging station, pedestal fan, shaded patio, shaded day-bed and a magnificent star bed. The essence of the camp therefore remains both experiential and immersive.

Activities

The lodge offers some unique activities to suit your tastes.

Sossusvlei Excursion

This magical excursion takes you off the Reserve and into the Namib

Naukluft National Park, entering the Park gates at sunrise and going on to

capture the dunes whilst the light is soft and shadows accentuate their towering

shapes and curves. This area boasts some of the highest free-standing sand dunes

in the world and your guide can show you some of the myriad of fascinating

creatures and plants that have adapted to survive these harsh conditions in the

Namib Desert.

Sundowner Drive/Walk

This is done in the late afternoon when you can either

go on a short drive to the selected ‘sundowner’ location or you can walk there

using a route that can take between 45 and 90 minutes. On arrival, you will find

your sundowner set up which will have been brought out by the camp crew and

you can relax there while enjoying seeing the shadows lengthen and the colours

fade. After the sun has set you will head back to camp in time for the shower run

and then have time to relax and enjoy a tasty dinner.

Walks & Cycling

This is a superb area to walk and cycle in as there is plenty to

see, no matter which direction you start out in. These walks and rides allow your

guide to take you to explore the local area with you at almost any time of day, and

they offer a great alternative to scenic drives, especially for people who enjoy

being a little more active.
