Sossusvlei

We invite you to experience Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, Southern Africa's largest private nature reserve. Venture from this supremely elegant, remote retreat into the starkly compelling Namib, daily etched anew in hues of bright orange and blue.

Green desert, many birds

On a drive to Draaihoek, together with Marc Robinson and Desire Avis (our new managers,) we saw many, many birds. The highlight was a sighting of a Steppe Buzzard, which is a new bird for the lodge. This brings our list to 121. On the same drive we also managed to see two Pygmy Falcons and a Kalahari Scrub-Robin.
