Desert Homestead Lodge near Sossusvlei

Desert Homestead Lodge is a relaxed desert property near Sesriem, set within the broad landscapes of the Namib Tsaris Conservancy. Its architecture takes its cue from a traditional stud farm, with thatched cottages arranged around the main lodge and open views towards the surrounding plains.

The lodge is close to the UNESCO Namib Sand Sea and is well placed for visiting Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. It also works as a quiet stop for travellers crossing the central Namib. The mood is informal, with several terraces and pools for resting between excursions.

Desert Homestead Lodge cottages

Guest cottages combine a simple farm-style character with useful modern comforts. Each has an en-suite bathroom and its own furnished terrace, giving guests a private place to enjoy the desert air. A family cottage provides two bedrooms with a shared bathroom for up to four guests.
