| Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge is situated in the northern foothills
of the vast, privately owned NamibRand Nature Reserve (184 000 hectares).
In the reserve, the eerily beautiful Namib Desert has been painstakingly
 reclaimed
for conservation to create the largest private nature reserve in
Southern Africa, exclusive to lodge residents.
It's a world of vast space, far horizons, desertscapes and jagged
mountain heights. The reserve lies on the eastern boundary of the
Namib-Naukluft National Park.
The reserve is covered by wind-sculpted dunes, the highest in
the world, and 700-million year-old mountains. The valleys and slopes
are home to a unique gathering of wildlife, some of which are found
nowhere else on earth.
Sightings including Hartmann's zebra, Grant's golden mole, oryx
(gemsbok), spotted hyena, African wildcat and the ubiquitous springbok.
 This
is big sky country, and home to more than 115 bird species, including
Sociable Weavers, Black Eagles and Martial Eagles.
Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge is your retreat from which to explore
this rolling sand sea. From dawn to dusk, it's an ever-changing
landscape of light and shadows with vast, untrammeled vistas. Clouds
and mirages endlessly unfold in a seductive, silent dance of earth
and sky as the Namib envelops you in her stillness.
The reserve's totally private dunes, mountains, and pristine spaces
are experienced by a maximum of 20 lodge residents. This is the
place to come and bask in a state of spiritual solitude that others
spend a lifetime trying to find.
