Sossus Dune Lodge offers a rare and exceptional opportunity for visitors to stay inside the boundaries of the Namib-Naukluft National Park, just minutes from some of Namibia’s most iconic landscapes, including Sossusvlei, Deadvlei, and Sesriem Canyon. As one of only a few accommodation establishments found within the park gates at Sesriem, Sossus Dune Lodge gives guests a major advantage: early access to the dunes before sunrise and extended exploration after sunset, long after the outer gate has closed to the public.
