Desert Hills Glamping Camp, Sossusvlei | Namibia Tours & Safaris

As you traverse the endless Namib look for a ridge hiding a valley. Isolated, private. Beyond are the stark, stark desert plains. Sossusvlei is calling. Sand whispering. Hot, heady air. This is your base, your haven, your place to glamp. You're a remote traveller now so pack up the 4x4 or you won't make it in.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Desert Hills Glamping Camp is a modern-looking joint that opened in May 2018. It’s on a private farm about one and half kilometres from Desert Hills Lodge. A secluded spot with vast views.

Basic level luxury, maximum exposure to nature. It’s green and eco friendly - electricity is partially generated by solar energy, water supplied by a solar-driven pump.

Breakfast and dinner are provided. Meals are prepared outdoors on an open fire. Dinner sounds marvellously civilised. Three courses, buffet-style.

And all this 24km south-east of Sesriem, the entrance to Sossusvlei Dunes. If you're going out early grab a picnic pack.

The main area is in a large modern tent. You know it's big because it houses a lounge and a bar. Outside is a shaded patio and a fire pit. Meals are served up with a large helping of view. Expect a whopper of a panorama.

There are 10 twin or double tents and 1 family tent. There's a decent gap between them but they're all within easy reach of the main facilities. Wooden style frames with canvas and fly gauze. There's a fan to help when it's hot. En suite shower room, washbasin and a flushing toilet in a separate room. 220V electricity and a large terrace just outside. Which is a rather spectacular place to wile away an afternoon. Good work. Exceedingly good work.

Activities

You have the whole of the Namib Naukluft National Park on your doorstep.

The camp arranges guided trips to Sossusvlei as well as sundowner drives. Ah, the dunes...highlights include Dune 45, Deadvlei and Sesriem Canyon.

Try and climb. It's hard, hard work. You sink, you sweat, you carry on. But the world sure looks amazing here. Different. Sandy. Red. Orange. Yellow. And not an ice cream van in sight.
