Kwessi Dune Lodge Namib Rand Reserve

WELCOME TO

Kwessi Dunes

NAMIB-NAUKLUFT PARK & SOSSUSVLEI

Overview

Kwessi Dunes is located in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, one of southern Africa’s largest private nature reserves. With its rolling desert plains and backdrop of craggy mountains and iconic red dunes, it’s the perfect place to soak up the beauty of the colourful landscape, and gaze at the stars that light up the night sky.

Rooms

The 12 thatch and canvas chalets are all en-suite with both indoor and outdoor showers and flush toilet. Each bedroom has a separate star gazer room, completely open to the sky, where guests can relax in comfort and look out at the stars above. All have air-conditioning.

Facilities

The main lodge has a swimming pool, perfect for cooling off in hot weather, and a bar to relax in comfort and enjoy a drink while looking out over the desert vista. There are several seating and dining areas and a library area with a good selection of informative reading material on the nature reserve and its flora, fauna and inhabitants.

When evening comes, sit around the campfire, enjoying the Namibian sunset with a sundowner drink in hand.

For something a little more adventurous, there are plenty of outdoor activities: enjoy quad biking, scenic drives and walks, hot air ballooning, helicopter flights, horse riding and day trips to Sossusvlei.

Our thoughts

" The NamibRand is the first designated International Dark Sky Reserve in Africa so the star gazing is exceptional. "

" We had a fantastic trip to Namibia. Every lodge was fantastic with the most friendly people you could wish to meet. In particular the two upgrades were beyond our dreams. "

"Back home after another fabulous holiday. The lodges were all of the same high standard of cleanliness, food quality and presentation with all members of staff helpful, friendly and as immaculately turned out as we remember from 4 years ago. The guides were all brilliant with their knowledge, enthusiasm and great sense of humour. We did a 4 hour game walk-brilliant! Again a great holiday - may well return in a few years!!"
