Accommodation:- The camp consists
of 10 comfortable Meru-style tented chalets under thatch "kulalas"
(meaning "to sleep" in Oshiwambo) with En-suite stone
bathrooms with shower, flush toilet and handwash basin and verandas
built on elevated platforms for that spectacular view. Hot water
is solar heated. The kulalas are linked to the main dining room,
bar, reception area and Plunge pool by gravel pathways. The interiors
are simple, yet comfortable, and have solar powered 12V lighting
and overhead fans. The main dining area, pub and reception are
built from stout timber and canvas with thatch roofing. There
is a fully stocked bar, and traditional three course meals are
served at dinner. At night, lanterns light the main area, and
a full breakfast is served in the mornings. Accommodation is usually
booked on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis. Activities and lunches
are added on at an additional cost.
Activities:-
Activities are varied and include early morning guided game drives
to the spectacular dunes and day trips to the Namib-Naukluft mountains.
Game drives and walks are also offered on the private reserve
with incredible scenery, desert game and smaller desert-adapted
fauna and flora. Spotlit night drives are also a highlight. Early
morning hot-air ballooning is another option offered, weather
permitting. The 60 minute balloon safari offers a truly unique
experience of soaring silently above the magnificent desert sand
dunes and and ending off with a champagne breakfast served at
the landing site.
Wildlife:- On the edge of the
oldest desert in the world, this is not a game rich area; however,
whatever game guests see is interesting and dramatized by the
contrast between life and the desert. However, guests will likely
see animals like Springbok, Gemsbok (Oryx) and Ostrich who manage
to survive in these harsh conditions. Night drives using spotlights
offer sightings of Cape Fox, Aardwolf, Blackbacked Jackels, Bat-eared
Foxes and even the odd Spotted Hyena. Hartmann's Mountain Zebra
may also be seen in the Namib-Naukluft Park.

is 350 km south of Windhoek and can be reached by sedan car, although
4x4 preferred.
The entrance is situated 40 km from Sesriem on the road C36.
Child Policy:- Children of all ages are welcome.
