ACTIVITIES:

Grootberg Lodge by Journeys Namibia offers a rustic luxury eco safari on the private Khoadi Hoas Conservancy with spectacular views of the Klip River Valley on the Etendeka Plateau in Palmwag, Damaraland. Funding from the European Union allowed Grootberg Lodge to be built, becoming the first lodge to be wholly owned by the local community. The friendly staff are employed from the surrounding area and offer a high level of service, and the lodge itself has an authentic African style, with high thatched ceilings and wooden beams. The lodge is situated almost 1,700 metres above sea level, with each of the chalets positioned to take advantage of the exceptional views over the Klip River Valley below. The pool area and outdoor deck also afford sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, which you can enjoy over a drink after a day’s safari.

We’re bringing a touch of Natural Selection character to the Namib Desert and Kwessi Dunes will feature our usual cool and comfortable style with a few quirks along the way. In the bedrooms, you can expect vintage four-poster beds, striped canvas walls and a separate ‘star gazer’ room that’s completely open to the sky for maximum galaxy-gazing as you fall asleep. Each bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers and a shaded, outdoor veranda. High thatched roofs will keep you cool during the hot desert days (and nights!) and you’ll be pleased to hear that the bedrooms are air conditioned too.
The view from the lodge is spectacular and the glass windows and doors at the main area look out onto the undulating sand that only ends when it meets the mountains, far in the distance. Inside, there’s a well-stocked bar, library area and several seating and dining areas. When the sun rises in the morning, head to the camp fire for a morning cuppa, whilst in the heat of the day, the swimming pool is the only place to be
