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.

There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving.
There’s only one place I want to go, and it’s to all the places I’ve never been to.
The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure.
Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous.
One travels to run away from routine, that dreadful routine that kills all imagination and all our capacity for enthusiasm.
The world is not in your books and maps; it’s out there.
