Zannier Sonop
Fear not: Sonop’s ten luxurious tents, on platforms elevated above the rocky desert floor, are singularly uninteresting to the leopards and their friends. And given the plushness of the accommodations — they’re inspired by Twenties-vintage British colonial style — the experience here is a long way from ordinary camping. En-suite bathrooms with both freestanding bathtubs and rain showers go a long way, as do king-sized four-poster beds and espresso machines.
However luxe the accommodations, in the end it’s the service that shines. Butlers in black tie and white gloves serve a formal five-course communal dinner, and don’t think for a minute that you’re going to be turned loose on the Namib Desert with no supervision. The lodge’s guides lead multiple daily drives, they’ve got a stable full of horses for guests’ use, and they’ve even got access to hot-air balloons for when only a bird’s-eye view will do.
