Walking Trail


It is safe to walk freely on the premises provided that contact with wild animals, snakes, scorpions and other reptiles is avoided. Should you encounter such an animal or reptile, stand still or back off slowly - avoid sudden movements and noise. Most times the animal is more scared than you are and attacks and bites are normally a result of intended self-defence.


When leaving the immediate surrounds of the Camp towards the hill, please follow the demarcated route only which commences at the main parking area. This activity is done at own risk.


The neighbouring Sossusvlei Lodge Adventure Centre provides various planned activities of discovery into the Sossusvlei area while understanding and respecting the needs of guests for an independent and private style of travel.


"Sossusvlei Lodge Adventure Centre - the product to suit all and those who have already 'been there and done that' and who are looking for excellent service and something different.."
