The Desert Grace
The Desert Grace is a contemporary boutique lodge in the Gondwana Namib Park, opened in 2018 with a distinctive 1950s-retro design — the first Gondwana lodge built using sandbag construction. It sits between Sesriem and Solitaire and reads as a genuinely different kind of Namibia property rather than a traditional safari camp.
24 bungalows (10 twin, 10 double, 4 family), each with its own private plunge pool and minibar, plus extensive Wi-Fi coverage. Guided and self-guided walks, night walks and e-biking are all on offer.
