The Elegant Desert Lodge is situated on the border of the World heritage site of the Namib Desert and only 38 km from the gate to Sesriem and Sossusvlei. Our friendly and helpful staff eagerly await to welcome you at The Elegant Desert Lodge.
The lodge offers accommodation in 27 tastefully furnished, stylish and modern twin rooms. Each room is air-conditioned and contains an en-suite bathroom, a built-in safe, and a tea and coffee station. The tasteful and comfortable rooms invite you to recline in the soulful yet liberating atmosphere of the world’s oldest desert.
The beautiful and tranquil garden, a small oasis in the desert, offers various places to sit and read or just relax. Alternatively, you can enjoy the vistas of the desert plains from the verandah of your own room.
Indulge in the extensive and wholesome breakfast buffet or take the option of a picnic breakfast pack if you need an early start to undertake an adventurous trip to the world famous Sossusvlei. Treat yourself to a laidback lunch with a bottle of fine South African wine from the lodge’s extensive range, handpicked by the owners.
In the afternoon you can unwind in the contemporary lounge, breath in the serenity of the lush garden or sunbathe at the sparkling pool. Take a drink at our pool bar and recline to marvel at the sun-drenched desert plains. You might also opt for the scenic drive with spectacular views overlooking the vast gravel plains contrasted with the Tsaris and Naukluft mountain massifs of the Namib Desert.
Namibia is about magnificent sunsets, while sipping on your beverage of choice, before heading off to unwind around the blazing campfire in our African fire pit. You might even be fortunate enough to encounter some of the wildlife coming to quench their thirst at the waterhole a few metres away.
For dinner, the lodge offers a 4-course set menu, varying daily, that will tickle the taste buds with Namibian delights. Dinner is served either in the restaurant, or outside under the stars in our garden, depending on the weather.

5 guests' feedbackWe had a wonderful stay.
After a disappointing stay in Seeheim this was great. Would highly recommend it.
Very spacious and nice rooms. Pity only a set menu available at night. A light menu for the not-so-hungry would be a bonus.
Not too far from Sossusvleihek. However, aimed at the euro/dollar guest - costs in ZAR do not compare well with other places to stay with more facilities. The parking not close to rooms (and no braai facilities), no small fridge (would be nice just to have cold water for Sossusvlei) - it seems as if the guests are half forced to buy from the bar/restaurant/couriers (at ' a cost of course) to use. Otherwise nice rooms and lots of stars and silence.
Only lacks a small fridge in the room.
