Arriving at &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, the starkness and silence of the Namib can feel overwhelming, even if you’ve been longing to lose yourself in the desert’s wide open spaces.
As you become attuned to the mesmerising effect of light and shadow playing across the gravel plains and distant dunes, the parched beauty of the landscape begins to reveal itself. What follows is a calmness and sense of connection that nature never fails to deliver.
The otherness of the desert is a point of differentiation that has been consciously translated into every aspect of being here, especially when it comes to dining and what’s on the menu. Like the restrained, environmentally-conscious design of the lodge, the food is deeply rooted in this place of contrasts and extremes. On the plate is a refined, sophisticated take on Namibian hospitality, typically generous and down to earth. Never fussy or fiddly.
