Want to combine visiting Sossusvlei, the highest dunes in the world, and some true desert birding?

Why not do so while lodging or camping at A-little-Sossus Lodge? The establishment is set close to Sossusvlei and offers a real desert birding experience. It’s a paradise for desert dwelling wild birds!

Jandré Germishuizen took the initiative to create an environment on the lodge ground that suits the birds and the bird watchers. And the bonus? Bird conservation and tourism (BirdsConTour) rewarded A-little-Sossus Lodge with a two out of six penguin rated Bird & Birder Friendly Award for their level of input.
