In line with their commitment to help preserve wild places through impact investments that have a positive impact on the environment and its custodians as already demonstrated at Huab Under Canvas, Ultimate Safaris introduce their newest venture, Sossus Under Canvas in the Greater Sossusvlei-Namib Landscape. Located on the private 24,000 hectare Neuhof Nature Reserve which is nestled between the Nubib and Zaris Mountains, this camp is a mere thirty minutes’ drive from the Sossusvlei gate, the gateway to the Great Namib Sand Sea which has recently been declared a World Heritage Site.
Sossus Under Canvas will be built in a naturally formed amphitheater of a south-facing granite outcrop and it will open in April 2018.
This camp will be booked on an exclusive basis (tiered pricing for varying pax numbers) for each group we take there, and it can only be used as part of one of our privately guided or fly-in safaris.
The camp offers eight tents, two of which are family units, and it will be open seasonally between April and November, offering a fantastic alternative to any traditional lodge in the Sossusvlei area as it also offers exclusivity which is beyond compare.
A substantial proportion of all revenues earned at Sossus Under Canvas (as much as 20%), will be directly re-invested into the conservation of the area, thus staying true to our philosophy of re-investing revenues into conservation. This is possible because of our principle that the investment into our camps should be moderate from both a financial and environmental perspective, ensuring sustainability on all levels without the pressure of having to recoup large financial investments.
Sossus Under Canvas will embellish every aspect of our attempts to redefine Namibian luxury, our own definition encompassing privacy, exclusivity, experiential focus and total flexibility all whilst being perfectly comfortable.
