Location and Sossusvlei access
Being 38 kilometres from Sesriem means a drive of around 30 to 40 minutes to the gate, so this suits travellers who don’t need to be immediately at the park entrance.
Accommodation and facilities
Rooms have a private bathroom with shower, a seating area and towels provided. The lodge has an outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant, a bar and free WiFi. Packed lunches can be arranged for day trips into the park.
Family rooms and non-smoking rooms are available, and the lodge offers free on-site parking for self-drive guests. The on-site restaurant means guests are not dependent on cooking their own meals during their stay.
Who this property may suit
Elegant Desert Lodge suits travellers who want a full-service lodge with restaurant and pool and don’t mind a short additional drive to reach Sesriem gate.
Planning your Sossusvlei stay
