Klein-Aus Vista - Eagle's Nest, Luderitz

Nowhere is the Namib Desert in sharper relief than at Klein-Aus Vista. Rocky mountains rise sheer into a cloudless sky and grassy plains, dotted with acacias, disappear over the horizon.

Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

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.

Klein-Aus Vista is about 120km east of Lüderitz on the southern edge of the Namib Naukluft Park. Accommodation comes in the form of self-contained chalets at Eagle's Nest, which are about 15 minutes away from the main lodge, Desert Horse Inn

Eagle's Nest contemplates the vast emptiness of the Namib Desert from delightful chalets built into and around a large rocky outcrop. The chalets are built from local stone and they have an open-plan design with a cozy fireplace, a small kitchen, en suite bathroom and a private verandah. You can choose to do your own cooking or eat at the Desert Horse Restaurant.

You're on your own out there, or at least it feels that way with only seven chalets and being a 7km drive from the main lodge and facilities. It might mean a short drive back and forth but when you are sitting with your feet up and day dreaming, lost in the endless views, the commute is well worth it.
