 Game
Drives
In the cool of morning and evening, the resident naturalist will
take you in four-wheel drive open vehicles to explore the open grass
plains, fossilised sand dunes and orange sand dune belts of the
NamibRand Nature Reserve.
Interpretive Walks
In the desert, many of the real attractions are small and well-camouflaged,
and may easily be missed. Guided walks are available or you may
explore on your own along marked walking trails.
Adventures
From the height of a hot-air balloon ride, the view of the orange
dunes and seas of dune grass is unparalleled. This bird's-eye view
of the desert is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Hot-air ballooning
over the Namib is an optional extra (weather permitting).
 More
exciting optional extras are a guided 4x4 excursion to spectacular
Sossusvlei, site of the highest sand dunes on earth. You may also
choose to go on guided 4x4 excursions to Sesriem Canyon or the famous
Sossusvlei pans, resting place of the Tsauchab River. Excursions
on ATVs (automatic, all-terrain, four-wheel motorcycles) are also
available.
For stargazers, the crisp, dry desert air provides unrivalled opportunities
to be mesmerised by the Milky Way. Tribute to its prime position
is Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge's own observatory, housing the most
powerful electronic telescope in Namibia outside the National Observatory.
Knowledgeable field guides will direct you through the southern
skies and tell of the expanding cosmos.
