A nice press article about Kuangukuangu, an unexpected accommodation near Sossusvlei and Solitaire in Namibia, Nov 2010.

« Another slice of Africanwilderness that would have suited a royal proposal, KuanguKuangu overlooks a multi-hued valley. Seamlessly blending with the landscape, the one-room hideaway with alfresco kitchen and bathroom fuses logs, canvas and stone with earthy coloursand vast windows—a formula for solitude, sitting and staring.Thenamecomes from the Ovambo people’s word for the Milky Way, a nod to the astonishing night sky. » The Times, Nov 27, 2010.

« Lionel a déjà bien raconté ce que nous ressentons ici, au lever du soleil… Tout n’est qu’harmonie! Et que dire de la merveilleuse soirée passée au coin du feu, sous les étoiles, au clair d’une magnifique pleine lune? Nous avons été acceuillis comme des amis et nous repartons en ayons l’impression de quitter un nouveau « chez nous »".

« Je ne sais si KuanguKuangu est un avant-goût du Paradis, mais ça en a tout l’air! C’est tellement irréel à vivre comme cela, seule,dans la nature. Merci d’avoir pensé à mettre en place un lieu si magique. Préservez-le! »

« Tout a déjà été si bien écrit sur cet endroit magique que nous nous contentons de jeter un dernier regard sur ce paysage par les grandes baies vitrées. Sur un autre continent, Pablo Neruda s’était fait construire une maison avec une telle vue, sur la mer. Bravo à Olivier, Willem et Hannetjie d’avoir su créer et préserver ce lieu. »

Das perfekte « Hideaway » an einem der faszinierendsten Plätze Afrikas.
Phantastischen Blicken auf die wilde Weite und Einsamkeit der Namib-Wüste.
Es liegt an einem privaten Reserve es war eine zauberhafte Erfahrung wo man sich ganz nah an der Natur zu sein. Wir ließen unser Zelt nachts offen und wachten jeden Morgen mit unglaublicher Aussicht und den Sonnenaufgang über den Bergen angesehen.
Perfekter Service und hervorragendes Essen.
Es war das Highlight unserer Reise nach Namibia.
Erst wer in Kuangukuangu in den Nachthimmel geblickt hat, realisiert, wieviele Sterne es wirklich gibt.

Première soirée, première nuit en Namibie, en Afrique tout court aussi, dans cet endroit mignon, bien pensé, et en harmonie avec un cadre abeolument fantastique.
Bref, un pied génial!
Le réveil est sublime, et m’a emmené loin dans mes souvenirs, vers une grande baie vitrée (qui maintenant semblerait bien petite) d’où, tout petit dans un coin, je contemplais les sommets des Alpes.
Bel endrait, et accueil très chaleureux (bons vins, bonnes blagues, bonne table).

Arrived at KuanguKuangu by 16h. We were kept very busy it seemed, so had little time to relax. The sundowner trip was the best we had, a table laid by Willem with good snacks and a super sunset. The highlight was, of course, Sossusvlei with dune climbing, lots of picture taking and a champagne(ish) breakfast, etc etc to cap it all! Returning via Sesriem Canyon we were pretty tired when we got back.
KuanguKuangu is a luxurious lodge but with an environmental ethos. The Cabin is quite extraordinary for the detail, comfort, style and views. One of our best places in Namibia!

After a detour to Solitaire to repair our first of 3 punctures, this place is something else with a » display » of old rusting vehicles and a helpful garage and of course the bakery with freshly baked goodies and the famous apple pie!, we arrived early evening from Windhoek.
A welcome drink awaited and we were shown KuanguKuangu Cabin.
The views at sunset were stunning. The night sky even better.
We had a braai pack, and enjoyed a wonderful Namibian evening.
We opted to do the trip to Sossusvlei ourselves. Doing the trip ourselves was fine and very easy to do… the shuttle for the last 4×4 5km to Deadvlei was regular and worked out well.
KuanguKuangu is an excellent place to stay a couple of nights in Namibia.

KuanguKuangu was our favourite lodge of the honeymoon in Namibia. We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived from Windhoek. Willem was superb, so very knowledgeable and kind. We had a braai pack on our first night, at the cabin. The food was absolutely fantastic. It was very special. A dinner for 2, alone in the Namib desert.
Next morning we went to Sossusvlei dunes with Willem (he was very helpful and knowledgeable; cold drinks on arrival were a very nice touch). The early light on the dunes was very beautiful. There were only 4 of us in total so we could enjoy walking on the Sossusvlei dunes at our own pace. The climb up dune 45 was definitely worth it – and not too hot early in the morning.
Then we went to Dead Vlei where we chose to spend quite a bit of time – such a strange place. The trip finished with a real banquet of a brunch under the trees - which was delicious!
We chose to drive ourselves to Sesriem canyon rather than take the guided trip which was quite practicable and definitely worth doing.
The next day we went to Naukluft park for a day walk. We enjoyed very much. Then a nice dinner back “home”.
KuanguyKuangu was a wonderful experience with such personal service and lots of fun. Attention to detail was amazing and the whole experience was really outstanding. Another five star rating for KuanguKuangu.
This is truly a special place and we would love to return again one day if we come back to Namibia
