Sesriem Campsite
A government-run campsite inside the park gate. Each site has a camelthorn tree, and the night sky is excellent. Guests can enter the park earlier than outside visitors to see the sunrise.
The Sesriem Campsite is run by Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) and sits inside the Sesriem Gate of the Namib-Naukluft National Park. The campsite pitches are scattered under camelthorn trees, and the site has electricity, water, a swimming pool and a small shop. Its main advantage is that guests staying inside the park can pass through the inner gate about an hour before sunrise. This lets them reach Dune 45 to watch the sunrise before outside visitors arrive. In the evening, they can also stay in the park an hour later. There is almost no light pollution at night, and the Milky Way is clearly visible. Book in advance through the NWR website. In winter, night temperatures can drop close to 0°C.
