Places to stay in Namibia's Kalahari Desert

Tucked away amongst the vivid red sand dunes of the Kalahari desert, Bagatelle Game Ranch boasts sweeping views of the surrounding tree and shrubland. The desert is home to the likes of cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and over 150 species of bird all of which are accessible by organised tours.

Built into rounded granite boulders, the aptly named Eagle’s Nest Chalets offer immersive seclusion near the Namib Desert’s most southerly point. Some 7km from the main lodging, the chalets combine natural elements with luxury accommodation.
