The hot sun beats down on the Namib landscapes around the property. As you slip out of the car, your shoes crunch of the white gravel that fills the solar-panel parking lot and you turn to find a wide smile greeting you. A cool face towel and bright pink slushy welcome you to The Desert Grace.
Namib Dune Star Camp is situated on the crest of ancient sand dunes overlooking the spectacular landscape of the Namib Desert. Best described as a soft adventure camp, Namib Dune Star Camp offers the thrill of being out in the desert yet provides luxuries like soft beds and hot showers. The intimate camp has nine cabins, with a fair distance between them.
The desert is calling, whispering sweet nothings in your ear, attracting lovers of life to celebrate the desert in a one-of-its-kind intimate desert hideaway. Creatively constructed with sublime desert views, Desert Whisper is designed as a luxuriously special desert retreat for two.
Going back to one’s roots has never been easier as with Camping2Go. After spending an unforgettable day in the desert with the remarkable sights of Sossusvlei and the Sesriem Canyon, it is time to unwind.
Complementing the magnificence of a red sand sea, Namib Desert Lodge lies at the foot of ancient fossilised dunes. Make some space for wonder. A sunset or early morning drive through the red dunes exploring the sand masterpiece is breath-taking.
Sixty kilometres from Sesriem and Sossusvlei, Namib Desert Campsite is a secret retreat far from the hustle and bustle of the busier campsites. Explore the burnished sands of Sossusvlei and return to experience fathomless Namib peace.
Visitors arriving in Namibia via Hosea Kutako International Airport near Windhoek can either rent a vehicle and drive the 360km (223mi) or join an organised tour, accessing the Namib-Naukluft National Park within which Sossusvlei is located, via the gate at Sesriem. The drive should take about five hours. For self-drive visitors, a 2WD vehicle is sufficient on the main routes. For minor roads, a permit and a 4×4 vehicle are required. For those wishing to fly into the area, Africa’s Eden travel members can plan your trip, including all your travel and accommodation arrangements.
Visitors to Etosha can visit in 2WD vehicles, but 4WD is recommended. There is a good tar road all the way from Windhoek to the entrance at Andersson’s Gate, after which roads are all gravel. Many visitors arrive in Namibia at Hosea Kutako International Airport and rent a 4×4 vehicle (essential if you’d like to explore the Western section of the park). Distances are vast, and services along the way are sparse, so good planning is essential.
Alternatively, book a fly-in safari, taking a chartered flight from Windhoek to one of three airstrips in the park.
