Desert Homestead Outpost is located in the 7,000 hectare nature reserve as the popular sister property Desert Homestead Lodge. It is set at the base of a mountain looking out to a vast grassland valley with stunning views of the Naukluft Mountains and rocky desert landscapes. This is a good base for trips to the dunes of Sossusvlei and to Sesriem Canyon.
Sossusvlei is located at the end point of the ephemeral Tsauchab River. Surrounding this feature is a collection of dunes with other vleis situated nearby. From the top of the highest dune you have excellent views of Naravlei, Cessna Pan and the rocky ridges of Witberg. To the south sits one of the region's most notable landmarks Deadvlei, with its white floor and much-photographed dead camelthorn trees.
The main house at the Desert Homestead Outpost has a restaurant and bar & guests can relax and unwind on the viewing deck or at the shaded areas around the swimming pool. Facilities include a safety deposit box at reception and a laundry service. There is also mobile phone connectivity at Desert Homestead Outpost. There are 11 well-appointed rooms each with en-suite bathroom with shower and twin basins, luxury 4-poster twin/double beds with fitted mosquito nets, ceiling fan, writing desk and chair and a private shaded sun deck with director chair seating affording great views of the impressive surrounding plains and mountains.
