Kwessi Dunes Lodge is based in Sasriem and is a Sossusvlei safari camp found deep in the vast NamibRand Nature Reserve. Here guests can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the desert landscape with its rolling red dunes and plains, and a backdrop of craggy mountains. It is an absolute delight and pure relaxation for guests to sit on the deck and watch the antelopes go by, and then later enjoy a sundowner and the changing colours of the desert landscape before the absolute treat of admiring the beautiful starry night sky. When guests can tear themselves away from their deck chair, there are lots of fun activities to indulge in including quad biking, scenic drives and walks, hot air ballooning, helicopter flights, horse riding, and day trips to Sossusvlei.
The Rooms
Kwessi Dunes has twelve comfortable, air-conditioned chalets complete with canvas walls and thatched roofs. Each bedroom has a separate “star gazer” room open to the sky so just the perfect place to lie and stargaze away to one’s heart’s content.
The lodge rooms, guest area, and pools were all designed to maximise the beautiful views.
Community Outreach
The group that owns Kwessi Dunes Lodge, Natural Selection, was founded based on their commitment to environmental conservation and the need to protect Africa’s important wildlife areas for the benefit of future generations. Kwessi Lodge are aligned with these goals including improving the livelihoods of communities living alongside wildlife, so they have numerous projects aimed to uplift the lives of those living in villages close to the lodge. The Lodge donates a percentage of all guests stay to their regional conservation and community outreach initiatives. Over-and-above this, a per person per night Conservation, Community and Reserve Fee has been introduced.
This non-refundable fee secures funds that are crucial to our areas of operation for protecting wildlife, wildlife habitat, supporting communities as well as managing reserves and concessions.
What We Love
We love the barren beauty, nature, and peace at Kwessi Dunes. We also love the different activities offered to guests, including horse-riding, scenic drives, and nature walks, amongst others – all so good for the soul!
