Namib Outpost

Namib Outpost is in the Namib Tsaris Nature Reserve, a private reserve set aside to protect this fragile desert. It lies well off the main roads, with views into the Namib-Naukluft National Park and the Namib Sand Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There are twelve suites, each with a shaded private deck and a view: ten suites, one Family Suite and a Superior Suite with its own pool. The welcome is relaxed and natural, and on the open plains around the lodge you can sometimes see wildlife grazing.

Days are spent on guided trips to Sossusvlei, on sundowner drives, horse rides and hikes, and there is a pool, a bar and a massage lounge for the time in between.
