Desert Hills Lodge is our flagship venue. As the name implies, the lodge gracefully perch on a natural stone outcrop, generously spoiling its guests to spectacular views of the desert below and the dramatic Namib sunset. As the sun sets, it sends its long red tendrils of delight into each of the 18 chalets. Within each stone ensconced thatch chalet contain all the indulgences befitting a modern traveller and have an aesthetic essence about them which instantly ignites any city-numbed imagination.
Desert Hills is the perfect place to use as a base for exploring the area or spending time in its serenity and think the thoughts you’ve forgotten to think. Sossusvlei and Sesriem is a stone throw away and top of your day with delectable cheese and wine in the cellar, a heavenly sundowner, glorious dining, and the kind of sleep Morpheus would be proud of.

One travels to run away from routine, that dreadful routine that kills all imagination and all our capacity for enthusiasm.
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.
Then I realized that to be more alive, I had to be less afraid. So I did it. I lost my fear and gained my whole life.
Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa — for he has so much to look forward to.
Cover the earth before it covers you.
Life movies pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it.
Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.
I travel because I’d rather look back at my life, saying ‘I can’t believe I did that’ instead of ‘if only I had’.
Oh, the places you’ll go.
