Sossusvlei

We invite you to experience Sossusvlei Desert 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.

Oryx Eating Bones

An Oryx was observed recently chewing on the bones of a long dead Springbok. We have documented Oryx chewing the bones of various animals, including their own species bones. It is believed that they retrieve valuable nutrients from the bones which they would not normally find in the desert.
