Camp Sossus
Camp Sossus is located on the Namib Tsaris Conservancy which is nestled between the Nubib and Zaris Mountains thirty minutes from the gateway to the Sossusvlei and the great Namib sand sea which has been declared a World Heritage site. The conservancy is made up of gravel plains, mountainous areas with dry river valleys and is now home to the largest concentration of wildlife in the area.
This exclusive camp offers just six tented guest rooms and is open all-year round offering a great alternative to any traditional lodge or camp in the Sossusvlei area. The large west-facing windows and south-facing doors in the tented guest rooms allow natural cooling by the predominant afternoon south westerly wind, and the tents all have a basic infrastructure that offers important comforts. These include semi open-air en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot bucket showers with locally sourced amenities, comfortable extra-length three-quarter twin beds, solar lighting, 220V electrical charging station, pedestal fan, shaded patio, shaded day-bed and a magnificent star bed. It is one of Namibia’s first camps to be built almost entirely out of materials otherwise destined for landfill.
