Namib Naukluft Lodge Namibia

Email Reservations: naukluftlodge@namibiabookings.com

The best spot to experience the living desert is on our 13,000 ha farm, which was pronounced as a private nature reserve in 1999 and hosts the upmarket Namib Naukluft Lodge.

Stunning sceneries invite you to nature drives and walks. Enjoy your stay in unexpected comfort and friendly hospitality. We recommend a stay of two to three full days.
Enjoy the ever-changing pastel colours of the beautiful Namib. Use the morning hours for an easy climb to the top of one of the adjacent granite hills or a walk in the vicinity.

Explore the diverse flora and fauna, where the trees grow seemingly out of the stones. Relax at the crystal clear swimming pool during the heat of the day.
In the late afternoon you may join a ‘sundowner’ – drive to the natural marble mountains on the farm.

Listen to the evening sound of the barking gecko – a concert never to be forgotten. The clear night sky invites you to an unreal stargazing experience. Try to spot the Milky Way and the Southern Cross! We’ll show you the oldest desert on earth.
Our friendly staff will make your stay unforgettable.

Namib Naukluft Lodge caters for the individual holidaymaker. Its architectural design allows unity with nature: backed by impressive granite hills, which are granting a natural protection against the East winds. Enjoy the stunning view onto the open plains from every room and the main veranda.

Arrive at Namib Naukluft Lodge after a long drive and the friendly receptionist will welcome you with a drink and a smile. Feel at home and check-into your en-suite, stylishly furnished room with inside and outdoor seating, air-conditioning, private veranda, refrigerator and direct dial telephone.

The main building offers a comfortable lounge exhibiting local décor items as well as original paintings, prints and hand-woven carpets from local artists.

Traditional meals are served on the veranda or prepared by the chef on the open fire in the lapa, enhancing the feeling of a very special desert evening.

The bar, and in winter, the fireplace offer a cozy round-up of a great and adventurous day.

The early morning hours, when the desert seems to wake-up and stretch, the sun giving its first tender light, it is the ideal time to go for an easy walk. Well marked walking trails lead up the granite hill, around the mountain or to the near-by bird-hide. It is the best time for the keen photographer!

There’s even a 9-hole desert golf course offering an experience of a different kind!

During the heat of the day after taking part in one of the excursions the best spot to linger is at the crystal clear swimming pool, which offers a sun-bath as well as a cool splash!
