The Nest @ Sossus
NamibiaThe Nest @ Sossus is tucked away in a lush valley on Namibia’s private Namib Tsaris Conservancy, and it backs up against the great escarpment in the Namib Desert. This valley is a true desert oasis, boasting seasonal natural water pools and falls, and this makes it a magnet for the game moving through the area.
Designed by Porky Hefer, one of Africa’s most awarded creative personalities, it took eight years, including a three-year build, to bring this project to fruition. The property consists of a shared area and three main bedrooms. The shared areas – outdoor and indoor lounge and dining areas, a study, and an open-plan kitchen – are spacious, with décor having been picked out by the designer to match the theme of being in a cosy nest. The en suite bedrooms can each accommodate six adults.
There is also a children’s playground, large pool, and a floodlit waterhole provides exciting and varied desert wildlife viewing as well as incredible birding.
Activities at The Nest @ Sossus include the chance to take walks and drives through the desert landscape to spot large mammals, and as the lodge is just a 45-minute drive away from the Sossusvlei gates, guests can also visit the famous Sossusvlei dunes and Deadvlei.
