OVERVIEW

Camp Sossus is built in a naturally formed amphitheatre of a south-facing granite outcrop within striking

distance of Sossusvlei, and is ideally positioned to avoid the harsh desert sun. The severe desert climate was

a primary consideration in the camp’s design, and tents are protected from the stormy east winds by natural

stone walls and shaded by roofs built from almost 500 recycled oil drums. It is also equipped with furniture

built in part from recycled metals, Oregon pine floor boards and wooden pallets. As a result of this design, the

camp is virtually invisible from any distance and, together with Camp Huab, it carries the lowest

environmental footprint of any camp in Namibia. The large west-facing windows and south-facing doors

allow natural cooling by the predominant afternoon south westerly wind and the tents are stylishly

furnished, offering important comforts such as en suite flush toilets and bucket showers. They also have

comfortable twin beds, solar power, a shaded day-bed and a star bed, but the essence of the camp still

remains ‘under canvas’ and experiential.
