Sesriem Accommodation

Desert Hills Glamping Tented Camp

Game Reserve & Bush Lodge in Sesriem

Desert Hills Glamping Camp offers unique and elegant full-board accommodation close to Sossusvlei and Sesriem. Set on a ridge, Desert Hills Glamping Camp offers amazing views over the valley beneath. 11 twin tents & 1 family unit. Promising tranquillity and serenity, the camp is located off the normal tourist track and yet still close enough to Sossusvlei and Sesriem for day visits. Even though Desert Hills Glamping Camp is a tented camp, it is not comparable to one at all. Each tent has been built with a wooden-style frame and canvas paneling covered by a wide flysheet to avoid extreme heat, but to still provide the tented effect. Taking privacy into consideration, the tents are located within adequate distance of each other but still within easy access to the main facilities. The rooms have been furnished with love and meticulous detail and offer guests the luxury they deserve. A full English breakfast will be served at the start of the day. Dinner consists of a three-course set menu.

Sesriem

Sesriem

Sesriem is a small settlement which is located approximately 4.5 kilometres from the entrance gate of the Namib-Naukluft National Park. The settlement is especially know because Sesriem gate is the main access point to the Namib-Naukluft National Park for visitors entering the park and visiting the nearby Sossusvlei. As a settlement, like most other settlement in the Namib Desert, Sesriem has a minimal number of facilities such as a petrol station and other basic services including public telephones and a couple of small kiosks where travellers can get general supplies such as food and water.

But it is the Sesriem Canyon and its history that play the most important role in this settlement. The Tsauchab River has shaped this canyon into the Namib Desert over millions of years and it is one of the few places in the area that holds water all year round. The canyon is about a kilometres long, at places 30 meters deep and only two metres wide in other places. It is said, although it could be local legend rather than fact, that early explorers in the region named the canyon after the fact that they had to use six leather straps (ses - six, riem - strap) tied together to create a rope long enough to lower buckets into the canyon below for water. There are parking facilities in Sesriem where visitors can park their vehicles and take a walk through the canyon. Although the canyon is narrow in certain places, it is more than worth exploring because of the stunning rock formations that captivate almost everyone's attention.

The journey to Sesriem is one that takes most of a day from Windhoek. The trip includes some rather difficult mountain passes on some secondary roads, so your choice of route is essential especially if you don't bring a high-clearance vehicle (there are several routes from Windhoek). The easier route and probably the best route if you are trying to avoid the mountain passes would be from the south-central town of Mariental. But if you can do the passes, don't avoid them as they provide excellent views of the Namib.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?

  1. Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
    This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
  2. Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
    This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
  3. Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
    It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
    Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
  4. Exclusive.
    Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.
How it works for accommodation-seekers:

Anyone can register as a $elect Stays member.
There are no costs involved to register as a member.
On registration, we issue them with a member number.
They use their member number when they send an enquiry.
The number is verified automatically BEFORE the enquiry is sent.
The property is notified on the enquiry that they are a verified member.
Property ensures that the quote includes a 15% saving.

Terms & Conditions

  1. The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
  2. Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
  3. If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
    Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
  4. The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
  5. The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
  6. The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
  7. The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
