Sossusvlei is one of the top attractions for any visitor to Namibia. Not only are the dunes in this area some of the highest in the world, but the breathtaking beauty of the vleie - where the Tsauchab river disappears into the red sand of the Namib Desert - is any photographer’s dream.
The Sesriem Canyon, formed over millions of years, is another spectacular phenomenon as one cannot imagine how this ephemeral river could carve out such a deep canyon when it doesn’t even flow once a year.
Upstream from the Sesriem Canyon and about 20 minutes’ drive from Sesriem Gate, the Hoodia Desert Lodge provides exquisite accommodation on the banks of the Tsauchab River.
The intimate lodge offers comfort and tranquillity in luxurious chalets, set far apart to afford privacy to all guests.
