Kwessi Dunes is a sanctuary of tranquillity and solitude deep in the NamibRand Nature Reserve.
Kwessi Dunes is a place where you can completely switch off and immerse yourself in the dramatic desert landscapes. Guests love the bushmen walks, where you can venture into the desert with a local in search of the smaller desert creatures, integral to the ecosystem of the dunes. Whether you’re relaxing at Kwessi Dunes or on one of the nature drives, you may see desert wildlife, including oryx, Burchell’s zebra, jackals and on occasion big cats.
When you’re not out on the reserve or visiting Sossusvlei, you can relax at the pool or watch the changing colours of the dunes. NamibRand was Africa’s first designated International Dark Sky Reserve. The constellations of the night sky can be observed through the camp’s state-of-the-art telescope or from the privacy of your own stargazer room, completely open to the night desert sky.
Why we love Kwessi Dunes
-
As well as 15,000 hectares of exclusive desert terrain, you also have access to the 200,000 hectares of the NamibRand Reserve
-
There is a waterhole at the camp, which attracts animals including zebra and big cats
-
Venture into the desert with a bushman to look for smaller creatures and learn about the whole ecosystem of the dunes
-
You can watch the dunes change colour throughout the day and watch the stars come out at night
Facilities
Start your morning with a cuppa around the campfire - also the destination for a post dinner drink. Meals are served in the dining area or on the deck where you can see the changing colours of the desert as you dine.
Spa treatments can be arranged.
Take a scenic drive in NamibRand Nature Reserve, join a nature walk with a bushman, visit the gigantc dunes at Sossusvlei and finish the evening with a stargazing experience.
Kwessi Dunes is part of NamibRand’s conservation story; the area was farmland until Albi Brückner transformed 200,000 hectares into a reserve, reintroducing native species that had been fiercely hunted and removing fences so animals could migrate freely again. When you stay at Kwessi Dunes, a percentage of your money goes towards conservation projects, reserve maintenance and anti-poaching efforts. The lodge is also entirely powered by solar energy.
