Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp is situated 34 kilometres from Sesriem, the entrance to Sossusvlei within the heart of Namibia's Namib Desert. This is one of the most remarkable sites in the Namib~Naukluft Park and the Namib Desert. Huge towering dunes, the highest in the world, rise dramatically over 1000 feet above the surrounding plains at Sossusvlei itself. The spectacle of changing colours and the lonely Oryx silhouetted against red dunes is one which visitors and photographers from around the world come to savour and capture on film.

Accommodations The camp is situated on the 21,000 hectare Kulala Wilderness Reserve with wonderful desert scenery. It affords access to Sossusvlei, but also offers privacy and exclusivity. The property harbours vast desert plains and rugged mountains with views onto the dunes in the distance. The camp has been built near the top of a mountain, using natural materials of brick, rock, timber and thatch, and provides a refuge from the desert. We have only nine guest rooms, each with its own private plunge pool.

Activities Activities center on early morning excursions in 4x4 vehicles to the magnificent Sossusvlei dunes and the "vlei" itself at the end of the Tsauchab River ~ a dry river bed that flows only in years of exceptional rainfall. Breakfasts are served under the spreading camelthorn acacias in Sossusvlei before returning to camp in the midday via the nearby Sesriem Canyon. Afternoon activities are on the property ~ taking in the desert scenery and its unique fauna and flora. Wonderful early morning ballooning safaris are offered as an optional extra.

Wildlife On the edge of the oldest desert in the world, this is not a game rich area, however, whatever game we see is interesting and dramatised by the contrast between the desert and animals like Springbok, Gemsbok (Oryx) and Ostrich who manage to survive in these harsh conditions. Night drives using spotlights offer sightings of Cape Fox, Aardwolf, Blackbacked Jackels, Bat Eared Foxes and even the odd Spotted Hyena.
