Speke says – “This is a one of kind experience and we couldn’t recommend it more. The accommodation is basic but sleeping under the stars is the most magical experience and having a whole support crew that takes care of all chores and makes everything run like clockwork is fantastic. Superb!”

Built in 2020 this is one of the newest properties in Namibia and is very impressive throughout. Located within 15,000 hectares of private reserve with access to all 200,000 hectares of the NamibRand this location is jaw-droppingly stunning. The diverse landscape of sweeping desert plains, red dunes, elusive fairy circles and craggy mountains are to be seen to be believed. The main lodge is an impressive, thatched building that is home to the bar, library and several seating and dining areas. Just outside is a lovely viewing deck and a shady swimming pool area that is the prefect place to cool off and relax.

The 12 large cool and comfortable chalets, all with canvas walls and thatched roofs, are positioned perfectly to make the most of the views of the area. Each chalet comes with a lounge area, writing desk, air-conditioning and ensuite facilities an indoor and outdoor shower as well as a shady veranda. The party piece of the rooms is the separate, private, star gazer room where you can sleep under stars which is a magical experience. The range of guided activities available is almost endless from scenic drives, walking safaris, village tours, horse riding and hot air balloon safaris, to name a few.
