The sophistication of Zannier Sonop in Namibia's southwestern corner is reminiscent of the era of British explorers in the 1920s. Built on granite blocks, the tented camp is located in remote and unspoiled wilderness with views of the majestic Namib Desert. Every antique in the lodge's ten spacious tents has been carefully selected to ensure that every moment is an authentic experience. The relaxing essence of the desert landscape is enhanced by a spectacular open-air infinity pool, a spa, a fitness room, and daily yoga.
For those who want to go on a voyage of discovery, Zannier Sonop Lodge offers a wide range of extraordinary activities. Hikers can opt for a walking tour to enjoy the breathtaking landscape from various vantage points. The lodge also has a stable with horses that are always happy to go for a ride, and electric mountain bikes that are ideal for exploring the desert. Near the pool, there is also an open-air cinema where you can make yourself comfortable in deck chairs and enjoy a movie accompanied by a refreshing cocktail.
All ten tents in the camp have one or two large bedrooms, a living area, and a separate bathroom with a distinctive clawfoot bathtub and rain shower. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to immerse yourself completely in the surrounding landscape. The bedrooms feature handmade king-size four-poster beds, while the living room has comfortable armchairs and a telescope for gazing into the distance or observing the magical starry sky above Namibia. You can also enjoy a private terrace that extends over large wooden decks and offers magnificent views of the desert.
In the morning, a rich à la carte breakfast is served in the main area of the camp. At lunchtime, the same room is transformed into a quiet restaurant offering light dishes to share. Every evening, stylish gala dinners are held, with silver cutlery, candelabras, and butlers in white gloves serving delicious 5-course menus. The menus have a Mediterranean touch and a certain local influence: look forward to fresh fish and seafood, homemade soups and stews, and traditional desserts such as mallow pudding. At two bars, you can sample premium South African gins, wines, and Windhoek beers.
The Namib Desert offers a breathtaking view. It is a true privilege to have this amazing panorama before your eyes every day, right from the moment you wake up in the morning. The luxury tents at Zannier Sonop Lodge are built on rock outcrops to give you an unobstructed view of the vast landscape. They are reminiscent of the travels of British explorers 100 years ago, but their furnishings and comfort far exceed the conditions of that time. Each of the eight tents has 42 square meters of living space, a king-size four-poster bed, a private bathroom, comfortable armchairs, and a desk. The two-room tents offer 75 square meters of private space, including a telescope and dressing room.
