Rostock Ritz Desert Lodge Namibia

THE LODGE
The lodge is built on the slope of a hill overlooking the north the Rostock Mountain range and in the southwest the colourful dune landscape of the Namib Desert. The well known architect Mr. Piet Odendaal designed unique round structures blended into the granite surrounding. An often asked question is: "Why round?". First of all to give it an African flair; further no roof structure was necessary (seasonal twisters are not uncommon in this region), and the "cave feeling" of the interior lets the guest feel secure in the wilderness of Namibia.

THE FARM
The farm "Rostock South" lies west of the large escarpment in the eastern region of the Namib Desert. Rainfall averages <100 mm per year, causing the rivers to run periodically. The Gaub (main river) streams westwards and joins the larg Rostock Ritz Desert Lodge Namibia, room
