Namib Outpost near Sossusvlei
Namib Outpost, also known as Desert Homestead Outpost, is a small lodge at the foot of a mountain in the Namib Desert. Its elevated setting looks across open plains towards the red dunes and the Naukluft Mountains. The property is designed for travellers who value space, privacy and easy access to the wider Sossusvlei region.
The lodge stands in a private nature reserve adjoining the UNESCO-listed Namib Sand Sea. A restaurant, lounge and swimming pool form the central guest area. From here, the desert landscape remains in view throughout the day, from the cooler morning hours to sunset.
