Love To Explore Rating: Business Class 

Kwessi Dunes, set deep in Namibia’s striking NamibRand Nature Reserve, offers an escape that feels both otherworldly and luxurious, surrounded by vast ochre dunes and dramatic mountain backdrops.

The twelve chalets are stylish yet unpretentious, with earthy tones, crisp linens, and the addition of a unique open “star-gazer” room that lets you drift off beneath one of the clearest night skies on Earth. The chalets are air-conditioned throughout, with indoor and outdoor showers, and are entirely solar powered.

Days at Kwessi Dunes are tailored for both adventure and relaxation. Guests can embark on scenic nature drives or walks to spot oryx and springbok, take a hot air balloon flight at sunrise, or relax beside the swimming pool, surrounded by the endless red sands. After dusk, the Milky Way stretches overhead for incredible stargazing opportunities.

At Love To Explore we would recommend the lodge for these unique selling points:

  • Unique location 
  • Conservation and sustainability focused  
  • The wide variety of activities available

“A boutique camp surrounded by stark, stunning landscape.”

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
