Community Outreach

From &Beyond’s greater conservation model down to the tiniest details of the activities that take place in all their lodges every day, including Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, every decision made revolves around the group’s core ethic of Care of the Land, Care of the Wildlife and Care of the People.

What We Love

The lodge borders an International Dark Sky Reserve, so the stargazing is exceptional. We love the fact that guests can lie in bed and fall asleep watching the stars.
