Nature Drives

Guided nature drives in our comfortable all-terrain URI Game viewer vehicles on the 44 000 hectare expanse that make up our private reserve. You will experience a relaxing drive through pristine nature where Oryx and springbok wander freely on the property.

Spectacular photographs present themselves at every turn during this excursion of approximately 4½ hours. Refreshments are provided.

Sundowners

Depart from the Lodge in the late afternoon on a leisurely drive out onto the Lodge's private reserve. Watch the shadows lengthen as your guide takes you out to a panoramic location where sundowner drinks will be served as you relax and watch the spectacular sunset.

The inner tranquility that a desert sunset imparts while you sit amongst nature is really something special.

Guided Sunset Walks: The guided sunset walk starts at the parking area of Elim dune. The southern part of the dune is climbed and the dune valley is then followed for approximately 1,5km. The dune is then crossed again in a northerly direction and the walk continues on to the quiver tree sundowner spot at the mountain range to the north. The desert sunset is awaited and enjoyed over a sundowner drink while taking in the beauty of the dunes and desert plains. After sunset, guests are driven back to the Lodge. The sunset walk covers ±10km. A shorter 5 to 7km route is currently being investigated.

Hot Air Balloon Flights: "Up, up and away" as you sail silently over the reddish dune sea of the Namib. Add an exhilarating dimension to your visit to the desert. A daily activity for individuals or groups, weather permitting, run by Namib Sky Adventure Safaris. There are three balloons available accommodating a maximum of thirty passengers.

Eco-Quad Biking: A wonderful and different way to view the local surrounds. Exhilarating yet eco-friendly, the fixed quad biking trials have been meticulously laid out on the Lodge's private reserve so as not to interfere with the indigenous plant and animal life. Visitors follow the guide and may not deviate off the trails.

Desert Scenic Flights: Desert Air have a well-maintained 6-seater Cessna 210 light aircraft permanently based on the Lodge's property along with an experienced pilot who also doubles as a trained "aerial" desert guide. A number of routes are available on request and include 40 minute trips to Sossusvlei and longer round-trip flights down to the coast. The latter excursion provides wonderful aerial photographs of the desert with its 'sea of dunes' as well as unforgettable views of the numerous shipwrecks along the so-called "Skeleton Coast" of Namibia.

Sossusvlei Lodge offers a unique destination for both Indoor and Outdoor Conferencing in Namibia. Comprehensive facilities and infrastructures are available for both, along with all-inclusive package deals. Conferencing on the doorstep of the Namib Desert is a once-in-a-lifetime experience with the splendor of mother nature helping to provide a creative and motivational environment, while the ambience of the Lodge and the commitment of its "Team" make you feel right at home. During off-times, the Sossusvlei Lodge Adventure Centre can provide delegates with a multitude of breathtaking and exciting planned activities of discovery into the surrounding area.

Indoor Conferencing: Following closely on the heels of the already popular outdoor conferencing feature offered by Sossusvlei Lodge, the modern Indoor Conference and Recreation Centre opened new doors to the national and international conferencing tourism sector in November 2004. The complex has a seating capacity of 100 and is fully equipped with all the modern audio-visual aids. Seating arrangements are possible in various styles and shapes with the use of rectangular and trapezoid tables.

The venue has a retractable central partition so as to cater for smaller groups as well, with one section providing a lounge, reading room and library with a fireplace. Furnishings provide comfort while complementing the building itself, designed by the original Lodge architects so as to blend in with the existing infrastructure. The complex is not only proving to be a popular conferencing venue but is also finding use as a location for product launches, team building workgroups and even weddings and other special functions.

Outdoor Conferencing: Sossusvlei Lodge is about the outdoors and we are therefore able to offer yet another special experience; outdoor conferencing. The Lodge is situated on a 44 000 hectare private reserve of unparalleled natural beauty. This offers ideal locations for outdoor seminars under a shady camel thorn tree, product launches, press conferences, film sets and more. The ideas for exceptional experiences in pristine nature are endless and limits are merely set by one's imagination and the practicality of the concept. Every location includes portable ablution facilities while equipment, refreshments and catering are available on request.
