Desert Homestead Lodge
Sossusvlei area
Desert Homestead, located in Namibia’s Namib Desert just 30km from Sossusvlei, offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views of dunes and mountains. Operating as a not-for-profit, all proceeds support rewilding efforts within the 140,000-hectare Namib Tsaris Nature Reserve.
What We Love

Impact
The lodge operates using solar energy and focuses on water conservation to minimise its impact on the fragile desert environment. Every effort is made to ensure guests enjoy the landscape responsibly while protecting its natural beauty.
