Camp Sossus lies in Namibia’s Namib Tsaris Conservancy, just 30 minutes from Sossusvlei and the Great Namib Sand Sea. Set in a natural amphitheatre, its eight tents feature open‑air bathrooms and star beds for stargazing. Guests can relax in desert pools and explore both the UNESCO‑listed dunes and the private conservancy, a key wildlife refuge.
The private Neuhof Nature Reserve is a starkly-beautiful window into the Greater Sossusvlei-Namib desert, with tailored activities and not another soul in sight.
Camp Sossus is located on Namibia’s Namib Tsaris Conservancy, a thirty-minute drive from the gateway to Sossusvlei and the Great Namib Sand Sea which has recently been declared a World Heritage Site.
Built in a naturally formed amphitheatre within striking distance of Sossusvlei, the property ideally positioned to avoid the harsh desert sun. Designed to offer an under-canvas experience with a twist, the eight tents at Camp Sossus are ideal for those seeking to commune with nature. Each one features an en suite open-air bathroom comprising a flush toilet, washbasin and bucket shower with fitted solar lighting and a ‘star bed’, the perfect venue from which to gaze up at the night sky.
