~ Mango Opinion
Camp Sossus redefines Namibian luxury with privacy, exclusivity, experiential focus and total flexibility all while being perfectly comfortable. It is a semi permanent tented camp located on the Namib Tsaris Conservancy which is nestled between the Nubib and Zaris Mountains, a mere thirty minutes’ drive from the gateway to Sossusvlei and the Great Namib Sand Sea.
Camp Sossus has eight Meru tents including two family units. Each tent has an open-air en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and bucket shower. There is a central lounge and dining area and a fireplace where guests can gather. As a protection from the prevailing east winds, the tents has natural stonewalls on the eastern side. The roofs are built from recycled oil drums and recycled wood and metal will be used for the interiors too perhaps lending a more solid feel than the semi permanent design alludes to. The visual appearance of the camp aims to blend in with its environment and to be nearly invisible from a distance.
Activities at Sossus Under Canvas focus on visits to Sossusvlei and nature drives in the private Reserve. A private guide will take guests on nature drives, mountain bike rides, nature walks or arrange some stargazing or desert pool experiences. Further options include trips to a plateau with striking views over the Namib Desert, a walking safari or a night under the stars. The location also offers great possibilities for hot air ballooning and helicopter or scenic flights.
