Sossusvlei and Solitaire

AWARD FOR NAMIB DESERT LODGE

German tour operator TerraVista-Erlebnisreisen has chosen Namib Desert Lodge as its most popular category B lodge in Namibia. Presenting the award during a visit to Namibia in December, the company's managing director, Kai Wolfermann, said: "Our clients chose this lodge. They mentioned the amazing hospitality as one of the outstanding features there, which is quite remarkable for a lodge of this size. They felt that they were given the same individual attention and care that can be expected at a boutique-style guest farm."

TerraVista, based in Lower Saxony, arranges Namibia tours for self-driving travellers and small groups. Last year a total of 670 clients were asked about their experience. Regarding Namib Desert Lodge they mainly praised the incredible location, the wonderful opportunities for excursions, the great service and the high level of customer proximity. The Gondwana lodge is ranked in the Vista B category for beautiful, selected mid-range accommodation establishments.

Namib Desert Lodge at the foot of the fossilised dunes of the protomorphic Namib is a perfect base for excursions to Sossusvlei with the highest dunes on earth and to Sesriem Canyon. An unrivalled adventure is a guided hike from Namib Desert Lodge to Namib Dune Star Camp where guests can wheel out their beds for a night under the star-studded splendour of the southern sky.
