Information
Kwessi Dunes is set in the vast 215,000 hectares NamibRand Nature Reserve, with easy access to the Sossusvlei dunes and Sesriem Canyon. Kwessi itself is located in 15,000 hectares of exclusive desert terrain, but you’ll have access to all of the NamibRand Reserve. Kwessi Dunes is surrounded by hyper arid desert and is great all year round.
Rooms
In the bedrooms, you can expect vintage four-poster beds, striped canvas walls and a separate ‘star gazer’ room that’s completely open to the sky for maximum galaxy-gazing as you fall asleep. Each bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers and a shaded, outdoor veranda. High thatched roofs will keep you cool during the hot desert days (and nights!) and you’ll be pleased to hear that the bedrooms are air conditioned too.

Activities
Break away from traditional game drives and try horse riding, star gazing, quad biking, a nature walk or a hot air balloon flight.
The star gazing opportunities are out of this world. The NamibRand is Africa’s first designated International Dark Sky Reserve meaning it’s one of the least light-polluted areas in the world – and it shows.
