Overview
Boulder-Top Luxury
Zannier Sonop sits on the edge of NamibRand Nature Reserve, one of Southern Africa's largest private conservation areas.
Zannier Sonop is a luxury tented camp set among boulders on the edge of the NamibRand Nature Reserve in southern Namibia. Ten spacious tents are built on top of the rocks and furnished with antiques, colourful carpets and precious woods, recalling the look of a bygone explorers' camp. Days can be spent on horseback, on electric fat bikes or on foot, or up in a hot air balloon at dawn, and evenings end with an open-air cinema and stargazing under the desert sky.
