The Nest at Sossus, set within the Namib-Naukluft National Park, has been designed to resemble the nests of weaver birds. The striking accommodation boasts four en suite bedrooms (three doubles and one children’s room). Outside is a glorious swimming pool and children’s playground, and a floodlit waterhole provides the perfect spot for wildlife watching as the evening draws in.
To really make the most of a trip to Namibia, travel company Expert Africa suggests a nine-day itinerary taking in the Namib-Naukluft National Park, exploring the incredible seascapes of the Skeleton Coast, seeking desert-adapted elephants and culture in Damaraland, and enjoying an action-packed safari around the waterholes and salt pans of Etosha National Park.
