Kwessi Dunes

Rooms

The stylish tents have canvas walls and high thatched roofs to keep them cool when temperatures rise. Ten tents have double/twin four-poster beds and there are two family units with a double and twin bedroom which share a bathroom.

All the tents have air conditioning, a private veranda, and a spacious bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers. At the back of each tent you’ll find the star-gazer room, which has a large bed completely open to the skies.

Location

Situated within a sprawling private reserve, Kwessi Dunes is surrounded by the distinctive red dunes of the enormous NamibRand Nature Reserve. Craggy rocks punctuate the vast sandy terrain and the overwhelming sense of space is compelling. The rugged landscape is a playground that you can explore on foot, by vehicle, quad bike, helicopter or hot air balloon.

Food and drink

As the sun rises, breakfast is served around the crackling fire before the first activity of the day. Other meals are generally eaten communally, joining your guides to share stories of adventures around Namibia. The food is hearty and plentiful, and all dietary requirements can be accommodated. Private dining can also be arranged on request.

Families

Children of all ages are welcome at Kwessi Dunes.

Facilities and activities
