&Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge sits in Sossusvlei and the Namib, Namibia, within desert dune and gravel-plain country defined by light, silence and scale. The lodge is located in the private NamibRand Nature Reserve- about an hour from Sossusvlei's dunes. The lodge is accessed via road transfer from it's own airstrip.
From the UK, travellers usually fly to Windhoek via a regional or European connection, then continue by road, charter flight or a fly-drive structure.
Distances in Namibia are long, so luxury trips often use flying to protect time and avoid compressing the experience.
