Location
Located near the entrance to Namib-Naukluft National Park, The Desert Grace is perfectly positioned for visiting Sossusvlei’s iconic red dunes, Dead Vlei, and Sesriem Canyon. It lies within Gondwana’s private Namib Desert Reserve, which teems with oryx, springbok, and desert-adapted wildlife.
The Lodge
Sixteen air-conditioned chalets—each with a private veranda and splash pool—boast soft pinks, copper accents, and terrazzo finishes. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame endless desert panoramas.

Guests can enjoy guided excursions to Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon, sunrise or sunset desert drives, e-biking through the dunes, or simply stargazing from their private pool. Photographers and romantics alike will fall for the lodge’s creative aesthetic and surreal surroundings. The lodge also plays a part in Gondwana’s eco-conscious initiatives, including water-saving technologies and desert habitat conservation.
