Activities
Day Trips to Sossusvlei (additional cost)
What would a trip to the NamibRand Nature Reserve be without a trip to Sossusvlei. From Kwessi Dunes you will be able to spend the day exploring the iconic Deadvlei and Big Daddy dune before spending time at Sesriem Canyon en-route back to camp.
Horse Riding (additional cost)
Leave the 4 wheels at the lodge and explore the reserve on 4-legs with a 2 to 3 hour horse back safari.
Hot Air Ballooning (additional cost)
Take in the vastness and beauty of the reserve from above with an early morning hot air balloon flight.
Morning & afternoon scenic drives
Enjoy a morning or afternoon drive through the iconic red dunes of the NamibRand Nature Reserve. While it might not be a big 5 reserve, keep your eyes peeled for gemsbok, bat-eared foxes, black backed jackals, African wild cats and the iconic Oryx who all call the reserve home.
Nature Walks
Head out on foot to discover all that makes the NamibRand Nature Reserve so iconic, tracking the desert adapted wildlife along the way.
Quad biking
Get the heart rate pumping as you explore the iconic red dunes on a quad bike!
Spa Treatments (additional cost)
Relax, unwind and enjoy a massage during your afternoon siesta time or following your afternoon activity.
Star gazing experience
Did you know that the NamibRand is a registered dark sky reserve? Meaning you can enjoy probably the best star gazing in the world. With this in mind each chalet has a "Star Gazing" extension, right of your bedroom. Giving you the chance not only to enjoy the show evolve above your head but also to decide if you want to sleep inside or out.
