SOSSUS Dune Lodge, the first lodge to be built in the Namib Naukluft Park in Namibia, is on schedule for completion in the middle of this year. The eco-friendly lodge is being constructed from primarily wood, canvas and thatch in an afro-village design, overlooking the Sesriem Canyon. Once completed, Sossus Dune Lodge will consist of 25 stand-alone accommodation units, each with private decks overlooking the desert. All units are built on wooden walkways to the main unit that will include a restaurant and bar area, relaxation areas, swimming pool and reception. Guided drives and walks will be on offer to the Sossusvlei, Sesriem Canyon and other areas of the park. Jeanette Phillips (jeanettep@nowmedia.co.za)
