Three new lodges in Namibia:

 Zannier Hotels Sonop 

Ten luxury tents make the new hotel one of the most architecturally impressive in the country. It has a heated infinity pool, a cocktail lounge, outdoor cinema and a mud-walled spa. The canvas rooms are 1920s-style sanctuaries, with four-poster beds and rolltop baths. 

AndBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge

Set on a 31,000-acre private reserve deep in the Namib is the newly refurbished AndBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge. Ten huge stone-and-glass suites, each with an equally large private pool, gaze out at a vast expanse of rust-coloured sand and rock

Kwessi Dunes

Is located deep in Namibia’s striking NamibRand Nature Reserve, a vast desert wilderness of over 200,000 hectares.  It is one of the largest private reserves in Southern Africa — is no different, with 1.5% of room rates going straight back into protecting the area. Each of the 12 solar-powered chalets features a four-poster bed and an additional star-bed for the best galaxy-gazing in this International Dark Sky Park.
